Summary

Since end of December, a new coronavirus, close to the 2002 SARS coronavirus, cause serious pneumonias throughout world. There is currently no strong evidence of an efficient specific treatment. Hydroxychloroquine is an old chloroquine-derived drug, prescribed for auto-immune disorders. It has shown efficacy against Sars-CoV-2 in vitro. Some studies showed that Hydroxychloroquine might improve the clinical status of Sars-CoV-2 infected patients. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic, with immunomodulatory properties. Adding Azithromycin to a hydroxychloroquine-based treatment showed an apparent accelerated viral clearance in infected patients. This study wants to evaluate the clinical impact of adding Azithromycin to Hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of Sars-CoV-2 pneumonia

Conditions

  • Sars-CoV-2, Community-Acquired Pneumonia,COVID-19

Interventions

DRUG

Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin treatment arm.

Patient allocated in this arm receive hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for 5 days. For hydroxychloroquine, there is a loading dose of 800 mg per day at D1, followed by 400 mg per day D2-D5. For azithromycin, there is a loading dose of 500 mg per day at D1, followed by 250 mg per day D2-D5. Every patient receive as well antibiotic (ceftriaxone 1-2 g per day IV), and standard of care (oxygen therapy, analgesics, antipyretics, heparin, etc).
