ORCHID: Outcomes Related to COVID-19 Treated With Hydroxychloroquine Among In-patients With Symptomatic Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
ORCHID is a multicenter, blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial evaluating hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of adults hospitalized with COVID-19. Patients, treating clinicians, and study personnel will all be blinded to study group assignment.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Effective therapies for COVID-19 are urgently needed. Hydroxychloroquine is an antimicrobial agent with immunomodulatory and antiviral properties that has demonstrated in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Preliminary reports suggest potential efficacy in small human studies. Clinical trial data are needed to determine whether hydroxychloroquine is effective in treating COVID-19.
Study Aim: To compare the effect of hydroxychloroquine versus placebo on clinical outcomes, measured using the COVID Ordinal Outcomes Scale at Day 15, among adults with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization.
Study Hypothesis: Among adults hospitalized with COVID-19, administration of hydroxychloroquine will improve clinical outcomes at Day 15.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Hydroxychlorquine Participants assigned to the hydroxychloroquine arm will receive hydroxychloroquine sulfate 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. |
Drug: Hydroxychloroquine
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.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo 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. |
Drug: Placebo
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.
