Study summary

Currently there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs specifically for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. At present, clinical management includes infection prevention and control measures, as well as supportive care, including supplementary oxygen and mechanical ventilatory support when indicated. An array of drugs approved for other indications as well as several investigational drugs are being studied in several hundred clinical trials that are underway across the globe; however, currently there are no clinical trials available to patients in Arizona.

This study will determine if a specific drug cocktail can improve clinical outcomes in patients with confirmed Mild SARS-CoV-2

Read the detailed description

COVID-19 has become a massive threat to public health worldwide. Current estimates suggest that the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is both highly contagious (estimated reproductive rate, 2-3) and five to fifty-fold more lethal than seasonal influenza (estimated mortality rate, 0.5-5%); therefore, interventions to decrease the incidence and severity of COVID-19 are emergently needed. In Maricopa County there has yet to be a clinical trial to evaluate people who are SARS-CoV-2 positive with mild symptoms. This study will measure the improvement of COVID-19 disease status as measured by time (days) required from initiation of treatment to improvement of clinical status from mild to symptom free on 14 days of a cocktail therapy of Hydroxychloroquine, Indomethacin and Zithromax.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Improvement of clinical status

    measured by time (days) required from initiation of treatment to improvement of clinical status from mild to symptom free

    Time frame: up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time of clinical recovery of fever

    the time of normalization of fever as measured by daily temperature ( - ≤36.6°C or -axilla, ≤37.2 °C oral or ≤37.8°C rectal or tympanic)

    Time frame: up to 15 days

  2. Time of clinical recovery of cough

    the time of alleviation of cough as measured by self reported visual analog scale (VAS) cough scale. 1=no cough, 2-3=cough sometimes, 4-6=have a cough but can still do things, 7-8=persistent cough, prevents from doing things, 9-10=cough presents a great deal of discomfort

    Time frame: up to 28 days

  3. Safety as determined by changes in QTC intervals measured by ECG

    to determine the safety of these therapies in combination

    Time frame: up to 15 days

  4. Safety as determined by presence of side effects

    to assess the presence or absence of side effects and whether they are tolerable

    Time frame: up to 15 days

  5. Time to improvement

    improvement in Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Survey (WURSS-44) 0 to 7 scale, with 0 = Do not have, 1 = Very mild, 3 = Mild, 5 = Moderate, 7 = Severe

    Time frame: up to 28 days
