About this study

Official title: Efficacy of HYdroxychloroquine and DILtiazem-nIClosamide Combination for the Treatment of Non-severe Forms of SARS-CoV2 Infection in Patients With Co-morbidities: Multicenter, Randomized, Open-labeled Controlled Trial

No optimal antiviral intervention has been yet validated to treat COVID-19 disease. Comorbidities, such as older age, obesity, diabetes, history of cardiovascular diseases are associated with poor prognosis.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of two experimental antiviral treatments, compared to standard of care (SOC), to prevent clinical worsening, hospitalization or death at day 14 in adults with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection, asymptomatic or with symptoms lasting less than 8 days, and associated comorbidities without any severity criteria of the disease at inclusion.

Participants will be randomized to receive SOC alone or SOC + hydroxychloroquine 200 mg three times a day during 10 days or SOC + association of niclosamide 2 g at J1 then 500 mg two times a day with diltiazem 60 mg three times a day during 10 days. Efficacy and tolerance of each treatments will be compared across the three treatment groups during the 28 days of follow-up.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Standard of care (SOC)Other

    SOC procedures including self-monitoring and medical follow-up of clinical signs and if necessary any other symptomatic treatment (paracetamol, antibiotics, steroids, oxygen…) during the whole study duration

  • HydroxychloroquineDrug

    200 mg x 3 per day during 10 days in addition to SOC

  • Association of diltiazem and niclosamideDrug

    niclosamide 500 mg x 4 at J1 then 500 mg x 2 per day + diltiazem 60 mg x 3 per day during 10 days in addition to SOC

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. death

    Composite criteria

    Measured: At day 14

  2. clinical worsening (composite criteria)

    clinical worsening defined by at least one of the NEWS score item > 2 (temperature >39,1°C or<35°C, cardiac rate >111 or ≤40 bpm, respiratory rate > 21 or ≤8 cycles par minute, SaO2 ≤ 93% room air (if its measure is available),need of oxygen

    Measured: At day 14

  3. Assisted-ventilation and/or hospitalization (composite criteria)

    Measured: At day 14

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. National Early Warning Score (NEWS)

    clinical state as reflected by NEWS scoring, the clinical state of the patient regarding respiratory state as defined by the NEWS scoring system

    Measured: at day 3, day 8, day 14 day 28

  2. cumulative incidence of hospitalizations

    Measured: at day 14

  3. cumulative incidence of the use of oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation or invasive ventilation ( composite criteria)

    Measured: at day 14

  4. Mortality

    Number of patients death

    Measured: at day 14 and at day 28

  5. cumulative incidence of viral shedding on SARS-CoV-2 rt-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab;

    Measured: at day 3, day 8

  6. adverse drug reactions

    Measured: during study, up to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Hydroxychloroquine and Association of diltiazem and niclosamide in people with Sars-CoV2, run by University Hospital, Lille.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

death (time frame: At day 14). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2021.
