Low-dose prophylaxis RCT with low-risk healthcare workers in India, showing no significant differences. Symptomatic case results are not provided. Followup was over 6 months, however treatment ended after 3 months. 21% of patients discontinued treatment before 3 months (Table S2).
risk of progression, 196.2% higher, RR 2.96, p = 1.00, treatment 1 of 211 (0.5%), control 0 of 203 (0.0%), continuity correction due to zero event (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm), ICU/HDU.
risk of hospitalization, 51.9% lower, RR 0.48, p = 0.62, treatment 1 of 211 (0.5%), control 2 of 203 (1.0%), NNT 196.
risk of case, 14.2% lower, RR 0.86, p = 0.73, treatment 11 of 211 (5.2%), control 12 of 203 (5.9%), NNT 143, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, confirmed cases, multivariable.
risk of case, 5.7% lower, RR 0.94, p = 0.90, treatment 12 of 211 (5.7%), control 12 of 203 (5.9%), NNT 446, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, multivariable.

Design Multicentre, parallel-­group, open-­label randomised trial. Enrolment started on 29 June 2020 and stopped on 4 February 2021. Participants randomised in HydrOxychloroquine Prophylaxis Evaluation were followed for 6 months. Setting 9 hospitals across India. Participants Healthcare workers in an environment with exposure to COVID-­19 were randomised in a 1:1 ratio to hydroxychloroquine plus use of personal protective equipment or personal protective equipment alone. 886 participants were screened and 416 randomised (213 hydroxychloroquine arm and 203 personal protective equipment). Intervention Participants in intervention arm received 800 mg of hydroxychloroquine on day of randomisation and then 400 mg once a week for 12 weeks in addition to the use of personal protective equipment. In the control arm, participants continued to use personal protective equipment alone. Main outcome Proportion of laboratory-­confirmed COVID-­19 in the 6 months after randomisation. Results Participants were young (mean age 32.1 years, SD 9.1 years) with low-­comorbid burden. 47.4% were female. In the 6 months after randomisation (primary analysis population=413), 11 participants assigned to the hydroxychloroquine group and 12 participants assigned to the standard practice group met the primary STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDY ⇒ Our trial is the largest multicentre trial evaluating hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis for COVID-­19 from a low and middle-­income country setting. ⇒ The trial tested the dose of hydroxychloroquine recommended by the Indian regulatory agencies and had the longest follow-­up duration among hydroxychloroquine trials. ⇒ Our trial included a diverse set of participants, both in terms of balance of men and women, but also in terms of the various healthcare..
