Pre-assignment Details  
Arm/Group Title Hydroxychloroquine Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description

Participants assigned to the hydroxychloroquine arm will receive hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course.

Hydroxychloroquine: Hydroxychloroquine is available in 200 mg oral tablets of hydroxychloroquine sulfate.

For this COVID-19 trial, we will use an oral or enteral dose of hydroxychloroquine 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course.

Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding.

Placebo: Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding.

Measure Description: Defined as the time of the first contact with an acute care hospital during the health care episode that resulted in the hospitalization during which the patient was enrolled. For patients who initially presented to the emergency department, time of hospital presentation was the time of emergency department arrival. For patients directly hospitalized without presenting to the emergency department, time of hospital presentation was the time of arrival at the admission unit.

Title All-location, All-cause Mortality Assessed on Study Day 29 (28 Days After Randomization)
Hide Description

Vital status of the patient at day 28 will be determined using any of the following methods: medical record review, phone calls to patient or proxy.

There were two patients for whom we were unable to collect their vital status.

Time Frame assessed on study day 29
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
Outcome was measured in participants with available data on vital status. One patient in the hydroxychloroquine group and one patient in the placebo group were lost to follow-up for vital status.
Arm/Group Title Hydroxychloroquine Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description:

Participants assigned to the hydroxychloroquine arm will receive hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course.

Hydroxychloroquine: Hydroxychloroquine is available in 200 mg oral tablets of hydroxychloroquine sulfate.

For this COVID-19 trial, we will use an oral or enteral dose of hydroxychloroquine 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course.

Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding.

Placebo: Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding.

Hide Arm/Group Description:

Participants assigned to the hydroxychloroquine arm will receive hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course.

Hydroxychloroquine: Hydroxychloroquine is available in 200 mg oral tablets of hydroxychloroquine sulfate.

For this COVID-19 trial, we will use an oral or enteral dose of hydroxychloroquine 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course.

Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding.

Placebo: Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding.
