Brief summary

To date, no treatment has demonstrated clinical efficacy on COVID 19. However, several therapeutic strategies are being considered and are being evaluated in numerous clinical trials. Among these strategies, the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) seems promising. There is very little information on how to precisely administer hydroxychloroquine to patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in intensive care, which may be responsible for side effects, some of which are potentially serious. In addition, this treatment has a long half-life which increases the risk of accumulation and therefore toxicity. In view of the lack of knowledge on the pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic properties of hydroxychloroquine in intensive care patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, we propose to perform a prospective multicenter cohort study in order to collect the biological data necessary for this evaluation.

Interventions

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will be administered as usual practice: dosage is adjusted to maintain a concentration between 1 and 2 mg/L. Measure pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).
