Brief Summary

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

This Phase III trial four treatment strategies non-critically ill hospitalized participants (not requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission and/or mechanical ventilation) with SARS CoV-2 infection, Participants will receive hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without azithromycin.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This Phase III trial will utilize four treatment strategies in non-critically ill hospitalized participants (not requiring mechanical ventilation) with SARS CoV-2 infection, Participants will receive hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without azithromycin. Investigators are primarily interested in the time to recovery. In addition to study medications there will be daily symptom surveys for 14 days, then weekly thereafter for 4 weeks resulting in a total duration of follow up of 42 days. During hospitalization, daily symptom surveys will be completed in conjunction with the study coordinators. On discharge participants will have the option to complete electronic symptom surveys or complete symptom surveys via telephone with study coordinator. In the event that the participant opts for electronic symptom surveys on discharge participants will in addition receive a follow up call from a study coordination every 7 days during the initial 14 day period. In addition, failure to submit a symptom survey will prompt a study follow up call. Data from standard of care SOC will be collected from medical records.
