Brief Summary:
The (World Health Organization) WHO NOR- (Coronavirus infectious disease) COVID 19 study is a multi-centre, adaptive, randomized, open clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir and standard of care in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. This trial will follow the core WHO protocol but has additional efficacy, safety and explorative endpoints.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
SARS-CoV Infection COVID 19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ARDS Drug: Hydroxychloroquine Drug: Remdesivir Other: (Standard of Care) SoC Phase 2 Phase 3

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Hydroxychloroquine Drug: Remdesivir
Remdesivir will be given intravenously 100 mg daily for the duration of the hospitalization and up to 10 days total course. A loading dose of 200 mg at inclusion will be given.

Other: (Standard of Care) SoC
The standard of care will be supplied to all patients not receiving a drug intervention.
Active Comparator: Remdesivir Drug: Hydroxychloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine will be given orally (in the ICU in gastrointestinal tubes) with 800 mg x 2 loading dose followed by 400 mg x 2 every day for a total of 10 days.

Other: (Standard of Care) SoC
The standard of care will be supplied to all patients not receiving a drug intervention.
Active Comparator: Control group - SoC Drug: Hydroxychloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine will be given orally (in the ICU in gastrointestinal tubes) with 800 mg x 2 loading dose followed by 400 mg x 2 every day for a total of 10 days.

Drug: Remdesivir
Remdesivir will be given intravenously 100 mg daily for the duration of the hospitalization and up to 10 days total course. A loading dose of 200 mg at inclusion will be given.
