Abstract Hydroxychloroquine does not reduce the risk of dying or improve other outcomes in hospitalised patients treated for covid-19, preliminary results from the UK RECOVERY trial have shown. Announcing the results, Martin Landray, the study’s deputy chief investigator, said, “We have concluded that there is no beneficial effect of hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalised with covid-19. We have therefore decided to stop enrolling participants to the hydroxychloroquine arm with immediate effect.” The data show the death rate at 28 days in covid-19 patients taking hydroxychloroquine is 25.7% compared with 23.5% in patients provided with only usual hospital care (hazard ratio 1.11 (95% confidence interval 0.98-1.26); P=0.10). So far 1542 patients in the trial have been randomised to hydroxychloroquine and 3132 patients randomised to usual care alone. There was also no evidence that hydroxychloroquine impacted on length of …

The data show the death rate at 28 days in covid-19 patients taking hydroxychloroquine is 25.7% compared with 23.5% in patients provided with only usual hospital care (hazard ratio 1.11 (95% confidence interval 0.98-1.26); P=0.10). A huge upsurge in hospitalised cases around a month ago meant that the amount of data on hydroxychloroquine had increased very recently and “the picture has changed,” said Landray, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford. Last week a Lancet paper,2 which suggested that use of hydroxychloroquine to treat covid-19 could increase risk of death, was retracted because of questions over the provenance of the data.3 The paper had prompted the World Health Organization to pause the hydroxychloroquine arm of its Solidarity trial which is testing possible treatments for covid-19, although it reversed this decision following the retraction.4 The RECOVERY trial’s chief investigator Peter Horby, professor of emerging infectious diseases and global health in the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, said that he had spoken to WHO about the results.
