Effect of Hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 Positive Pregnant Women — HyPreC  

COVID-19 Clinical Trial

Official title:
Randomized Trial Evaluating Effect of Outpatient Hydroxychloroquine on Reducing Hospital Admissions in Pregnant Women With SARS-CoV-2 Infection: HyPreC Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 11th. Efforts to save lives are essential as we will face increasing morbidity with rising demands on health care resources. Since pregnant women with COVID-19 have systematically been excluded from drug trials, potential treatment options for these high-risk individuals remain untested. The aim of our trial is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine given to COVID-19 positive pregnant women can reduce COVID-19-related hospital admissions, thereby allowing women to stay at home while limiting utilization of hospital resources and resulting exposure of health care providers.

Clinical Trial Description

Due to physiologic and immune changes, pregnant women are at high risk of severe complications and mortality from COVID-19 infections. Despite this, epidemiologic data on SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy is currently limited to small case-series describing a clinical course ranging from mild to critical illness requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have demonstrated activity against SARS-coronaviruses in laboratory studies and are being tested in COVID-19 positive patients. HCQ appears more promising than chloroquine due to its greater effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and better safety profile. To date, pregnant women have been systematically excluded from trials conducted in the general outpatient population. Thus, we will carry out a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded trial of HCQ (considered safe in pregnancy in pregnant women with early COVID-19 infection across Canada to evaluate its effect in reducing COVID-19-related hospitalizations. This outpatient intervention is of paramount importance as its goal is to avoid overloading emergency rooms, obstetric triage, inpatient wards and critical care units. Upon completion of 6-month, our results can be directly applied to clinical care. ;
