Timeline
Interventions
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.
