No Clinical Benefit from Use of Hydroxychloroquine in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

‘A total of 1542 patients were randomized to hydroxychloroquine and compared with 3132 patients randomized to usual care alone. There was no significant difference in the primary endpoint of 28-day mortality (25.7% hydroxychloroquine vs. 23.5% usual care; hazard ratio 1.11 [95% confidence interval 0.98-1.26]; p=0.10). There was also no evidence of beneficial effects on hospital stay duration or other outcomes. ‘These data convincingly rule out any meaningful mortality benefit of hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Full results will be made available as soon as possible.
