Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Difference in time to resolution of clinical signs and symptoms of mild COVID-19 treated with hydroxychloroquine or placebo as assessed by daily self-assessment;Secondary Objective: Difference between hydroxychloroquine- and placebo-treated patients on an ordinal outcome scale until Day 28 (death, admission to intensive care, hospitalization, continuing disease, recovered) All-cause mortality within 28 days ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be the difference in duration from the initiation of treatment until resolution of the clinical signs and symptoms assessed by daily self-assessment in hydroxychloroquine- versus placebo-treated patients.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: One interim analysis for evaluating the primary efficacy endpoint is planned for this study. The interim analysis will be done when 40% of events have accrued. A one-sided Hwang-Shih-DeCani spending function with gamma = -4 (alpha-spending) was considered in the sample size calculation to account for multiplicity repeated tests. In case the interim analysis shows a HR > 1.21 (nominal p < 0.0018), efficacy is shown and the trial may be stopped. Final analysis upon completion of the trial and final database lock

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Difference between hydroxychloroquine- and placebo-treated patients on an ordinal outcome scale until Day 28 (death, requiring intensive care, requiring hospitalization, outpatient but ill, healthy) All-cause mortality within 28 days ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After interim and final database lock
