Summary

This is a pragmatic, randomized, open-label, incomplete factorial with nested randomization clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of two potential treatments for hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants who are hospitalized and have a positive nucleic acid amplification test for SARS-CoV-2 will undergo an initial randomization in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following regimens:

Arm 1: Standard of care alone

Arm 2: Standard of care plus hydroxychloroquine

Participants who meet eligibility criteria to receive azithromycin will undergo a second randomization in a 1:1 ratio to receive additional concurrent therapy. This will effectively result in four treatment groups:

1. Standard of care alone
2. Standard of care plus hydroxychloroquine
3. Standard of care plus azithromycin
4. Standard of care plus hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin
