Effective post-exposure prophylaxis of Covid-19 is associated with use of hydroxychloroquine: Prospective re-analysis of a public dataset incorporating novel data

doi:10.1101/2020.11.29.20235218
BACKGROUND: A key trial (NCT04308668) of post-exposure prophylaxis found hydroxychloroquine-associated (HCQ) reductions of Covid-19 by 17% overall and 31% to 49% in subgroups. To understand these trends, we reanalyzed the dataset. METHODS: Our protocol conformed to the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT). We compared the incidence of Covid-19 after HCQ or placebo, stratifying by intervention lag, age, and gender. RESULTS: Newly requested data missing from the dataset revealed that 52% and 19% of subjects received medication 1-2 days after intended and assumed overnight delivery or four-day intervention lag respectively. After re-analysis, we found reduced HCQ-associated incidence of Covid-19 with Early (up to 3 days post-exposure) (RR 0.58, 95%CI 0.35 -0.97; p=0.044; NNT 14.5) but not Late (RR 1.22, 95%CI 0.72 -2.04) prophylaxis. We found a significant HCQ-associated Covid-19 reduction in subjects 18 to 45 years old with Early (RR 0.54, 95%CI 0.29-0.97; p=0.0448, NNT 11.5) but not Late (RR 1.02, 95%CI 0.55-1.89) prophylaxis, attenuated in older subjects (RR 0.75, 95%CI 0-27-2.05) and by co-morbidities. Although, we did not detect effects of gender, folate, zinc, or ascorbate, confounding effects cannot be excluded. CONCLUSIONS: Using novel data and prospective re-analysis, hydroxychloroquine, in an age-dependent manner, was associated with reduced Covid-19 compatible illness when supplied for post-exposure prophylaxis between 1 and 3 days after high-or moderate-risk exposure, at higher loading and maintenance doses than in similar studies. The original study conclusions are controverted, and our finding warrants prospective confirmation.

There was an HCQ-associated reduction of Covid-19 by an overall 17%; 36% in ' 'younger subjects, and 49% in subjects given HCQ within one day of being exposed. Likely ' 'because the study had too few patients to find what may have been a medically and ' 'economically meaningful, reduction, this effect was not statistically ' 'significant.</jats:p><jats:p>Studying the trial data, we discovered an unintended and ' 'variable delay in the delivery of study drug which may have masked any drug effect. The ' 'investigators provided further information at our request that confirmed our theory. About ' 'half of the participants received drugs one or two days later than intended, about a fifth ' 'beyond the four days the investigators thought the drug might work.</jats:p><jats:p>When we ' 'factored in this new information, we found that if HCQ was given early (up to three days ' 'after exposure), it was associated with a statistically significant 42% reduction of ' 'Covid-19. Giving HCQ later had no effect. There was a greater effect in younger (less than 45 ' 'years) rather than older subjects (47% vs. 25%). Gender did not seem to affect the results, ' 'but there was a greater HCQ-associated reduction (65%) when it was given early to people ' 'exposed to Covid-19 in a household environment rather than to health care workers (26%). The ' 'effects associated with HCQ were better in people without co-existing ' 'conditions.</jats:p><jats:p>These re-calculations are important because the study, as ' 'originally analyzed, was the only randomized study that dealt with preventing Covid-19 cited ' 'by FDA to support a key public health decision made in June 2020 regarding HCQ. Although ' 'other studies have shown that the drug is not effective to treat established cases of ' 'Covid-19, our research suggests that that it is effective for prevention. Other prevention ' 'studies have failed to show a benefit of HCQ, possibly because they have used lower doses or ' 'have estimated the timing of dosing differently. Our research paves the way for our result to ' 'be confirmed under clinical trial conditions and for a re-examination of public health policy ' 'regarding this drug. Even with the introduction of vaccination, there remains a need for ' 'approaches like this to prevent Covid-19 while individual and community immunity develops, ' 'especially in subjects given a lower priority for vaccination.</jats:p></jats:sec>', 'DOI': '10.1101/2020.11.29.20235218', 'type': 'posted-content', 'created': {'date-parts': [[2020, 12, 2]], 'date-time': '2020-12-02T20:34:58Z', 'timestamp': 1606941298000}, 'source': 'Crossref', 'is-referenced-by-count': 2, 'title': 'Effective post-exposure prophylaxis of Covid-19 is associated with use of hydroxychloroquine: ' 'Prospective re-analysis of a public dataset incorporating novel data', 'prefix': '10.1101', 'author': [ { 'ORCID': 'http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8367-6158', 'authenticated-orcid': False, 'given': 'David M.', 'family': 'Wiseman', 'sequence': 'first', 'affiliation': []}, { 'ORCID': 'http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0816-9682', 'authenticated-orcid': False, 'given': 'Pierre', 'family': 'Kory', 'sequence': 'additional', 'affiliation': []}, { 'ORCID': 'http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5165-2461', 'authenticated-orcid': False, 'given': 'Samir A', 'family': 'Saidi', 'sequence': 'additional', 'affiliation': []}, { 'ORCID': 'http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3578-4610', 'authenticated-orcid': False, 'given': 'Dan', 'family': 'Mazzucco', 'sequence': 'additional', 'affiliation': []}], 'member': '246', 'reference': [ { 'key': '2021011111255133000_2020.11.29.20235218v2.1', 'unstructured': 'World Health Organization.
