Official title
Feasibility, Safety and Early Efficacy Trial of Hydroxychloroquine as Primary Prevention of Corona Virus Disease 2019 in High Risk Health Care Providers
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study proposes to conduct an open-label Phase II trial to evaluate the feasibility, safety and early efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) administration in reduction of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and development of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in high-risk, healthy acute care provider participants exposed, directly or indirectly, to COVID-19 patients. There is a more than 50 years track record of safety of HCQ for treatment and prevention of various disease states. Early data on use of HCQ for COVID treatment suggests anti-viral activity and immunomodulatory properties for reducing inflammation associated with COVID-19.
