Concept

A pilot study of hydroxychloroquine in treatment of patients with moderate COVID-19

A small, randomized trial involving 30 patients in Shanghai reported on outcomes in patients treated with 400 mg of hydroxychloroquine daily for 5 days, as compared with a control group in which patients received “conventional treatment only.” This trial showed that by day 7, a total of 86% of the patients in the hydroxychloroquine-treated group and 93% of those in the control group had negative results on viral throat swabs.
