Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess if 10 doses of HC, each taken 12 hours apart, increase the proportion of COVID-19 patients who have a negative nasopharyngeal RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 by day 7 post diagnosis in the HC arm compared to the no-HC arm.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objective 1: To assess the safety of HC in COVID-19 patients treated in the ambulatory setting Secondary objective 2: To assess the clinical efficacy of HC in COVID-19 patients Secondary endpoint 3:To assess if 10 doses of HC, each taken 12 hours apart, increase the proportion of COVID-19 patients who have a negative COVIDAM, Protocol version 3.0, dated 16/April/2020 9/49 nasopharyngeal RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 by day 7 post onset of symptoms (POS) in the HC arm compared to the no-HC arm. Secondary Objective 4: To assess if 10 doses of HC, each taken 12 hours apart, increase the proportion of COVID-19 patients who have a negative nasal AND salivary RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 by day 7 post diagnosis in the HC arm compared to the no-HC arm.;Primary end point(s): proportion of participants with a negative nasopharyngeal sample* by day 7 post diagnosis * defined by a negative RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab of two subsequent study visits. The date of the first negative sample will then be taken as the date of negativity ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 7 post diagnosis

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoint 1: frequency and pattern of reported adverse events, adverse reactions, Serious Adverse Events, Serious adverse reactions, and SUSARs.. Secondary endpoint 2: pattern and duration of clinical symptoms, as reported by the patients; rate of hospital admission during follow-up. Secondary endpoint 3: proportion of participants with a negative nasopharyngeal sample* by day 7 POS * defined by a negative RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab of two subsequent study visits. The date of the first negative sample will then be taken as the date of negativity Secondary endpoint 4: proportion of participants with a negative nasal swab + saliva sample* by day 7 post diagnosis * defined by a negative RT-PCR on a self-taken nasal swab AND saliva sample of two subsequent study visits. The date of the first pair of negative samples will then be taken as the date of negativity;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary endpoint 1: visit 2 (day 3), visit 3 (day 6), visit 4 (day 9), visit 5 (day 13) ,visit 6 (day 17) and visit 7 (day 21) Secondary endpoint 2: visit 2 (day 3), visit 3 (day 6), visit 4 (day 9), visit 5 (day 13) ,visit 6 (day 17) and visit 7 (day 21) Secondary endpoint 3: Day 7 Post onset of symptoms Secondary endpoint 4: Day 7 post diagnosis
