Summary

Single blind randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and dexamethasone as treatment for severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) related to coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). We hypothesize that dexamethasone (20 mg for 5 days followed by 10 mg for 5 days) combined with 600 mg per day dose of hydroxychloroquine for 10 days will reduce the 28-day mortality compared to hydroxychloroquine alone in patients with severe ARDS related COVID-19.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult
  • COVID-19

Interventions

DRUG

Dexamethasone and Hydroxychloroquine

Patients included in the "Hydroxychloroquine / Dexamethasone" group will benefit from standardized ventilatory management and administration of Hydroxychloroquine in the same manner as the Hydroxychloroquine group. They will receive in addition to Dexamethasone at a rate of 20 mg intravenously for 15 min once a day for 5 days (D1 to D5) then at a rate of 10 mg per day from D6 to D10. If the patient is extubated before the 10th day, he will receive his last dose of Dexamethasone before.

DRUG

Hydroxychloroquine

Patients included in the Hydroxychloroquine group will benefit from standardized ventilatory management. Patients included in the Hydroxychloroquine group will receive 200 mg x 3 / day enterally from J1 of the HCQ for 10 days. If the patient is extubated before the 10th day, he will receive his last dose of HCQ before.
