HCQ for COVID-19
1st treatment shown to reduce risk in March 2020
 
*, now known with p < 0.00000000001 from 422 studies, recognized in 42 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.
4,000+ studies for 60+ treatments. c19hcq.org
Early terminated healthcare worker prophylaxis RCT in Spain, showing lower risk of symptomatic cases with HCQ prophylaxis, without statistical significance due to the small number of events.
risk of symptomatic case, 51.0% lower, RR 0.49, p = 0.79, treatment 3 of 224 (1.3%), control 5 of 211 (2.4%), NNT 97, Kaplan–Meier, primary outcome.
risk of case, 27.0% lower, RR 0.73, p = 0.31, treatment 21 of 224 (9.4%), control 23 of 211 (10.9%), Kaplan–Meier.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
