Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase II interventional study will test the efficacy of quintuple therapy (Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection).

Description:

In this study patients will be treated with a combination therapy to determine if this combination can effectively treat COVID-19. Treatment will last ten days. The study will last 24 weeks.
