Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will compare two drugs (hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin) to see if hydroxychloroquine is better than azithromycin in treating outpatients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hydroxychloroquine

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hydroxychloroquine

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients in the hydroxychloroquine arm will receive hydroxychloroquine 400mg po BID x 1 day, then 200mg po BID x 4 days (dose reductions for weight \< 45kg). The drug dose (2.4 gm over 5 days) chosen falls at the lower end of doses proposed in various international trials, but it has proven in vitro efficacy, with a ratio of lung tissue trough concentrations to the EC50 (effective concentration to suppress 50% of viral activity) of \>20.

Azithromycin

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Azithromycin

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients in the azithromycin arm will receive azithromycin 500mg PO on day 1 plus 250mg PO daily on days 2-5.
