Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04345861
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Montpellier
Brief Summary

Double blinded randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin compared to hydroxychloroquine monotherapy in patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia.

Detailed Description

The multi-centre COVIDOC study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of hydroxychloroquine (10 days) combined with azithromycin (5 days) compared to hydroxychloroquine (10 days) in the the clinical evolution by the ordinal scale of 7 points in adults hospitalized outside Intensive care unit with pneumonia caused by infection by the SARS-CoV2 virus in France.
