Chloroquine Phosphate Against Infection by the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): The HOPE Open-Label, Non Randomized Clinical Trial : Chloroquine Phosphate Against Infection by the Novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): The HOPE Open-Label, Non Randomized Clinical Trial

Humanity has been experiencing a new pandemic of the SARS Coronavirus-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) since December 2019, causing the disease known as COVID-19. As of March 23, 2020, there have been 382,341 documented episodes of infection worldwide, of which 16,567 have died. An important limitation in the treatment of the disease is the absence of drugs with known antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Recent data suggest that chloroquine has sufficient in vitro activity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus by inhibiting virus entry into cells. It has recently been described that hydroxychloroquine significantly reduces the percentage of patients who have positive sputum in the SARS-CoV-2 virus within 6 days. However, the clinical efficacy of the drug has not been described and it has significant side effects, including more than 10% anorexia, headache, blurred vision, diarrhea or vomiting, and myocardiotoxicity. The frequency of adverse effects of chloroquine in combination with the well-known in vitro activity of chloroquine have led to the design of clinical trials around the world to document the benefits of its use. The present study will evaluate the activity of chloroquine phosphate in patients with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection..
