Albertans with COVID-19 are at risk of deteriorating and developing severe illness. Those over age 40 or with co-morbid illness, and likely those who are immune suppressed, are at highest risk. This study will include a focus on people with immune-suppressed states. Individuals confirmed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection will be identified using administrative data (positive lab result, age 18 or over, not hospitalized, and not living in SL4 level of care). They will then be contacted by AHS staff, independent of the researchers, to obtain their consent for the researchers to contact them about this trial. The AHS staff member who contacts the individual will enroll consenting individuals into a study database. If they provided an email address an email will automatically be sent to the individual with study information. Those who decline to be contacted will also be informed of the study website so they can choose to review the study information and self-enrol, although they will need to do so quickly to meet study timelines. Enrolled participants will be contacted by a study coordinator. Those without access to the internet will be informed about the study details when they are contacted by a study coordinator. When the study coordinator contacts potential participants the study will be reviewed, and the potential participant will have an opportunity to ask questions. Consent for participation will be obtained by telephone. Telephone consent will be recorded. Participants will then be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria by telephone interview and review of Alberta Netcare. Alberta Netcare is the province of Alberta's public Electronic Health Record used to store patient information so that it is easily accessible to healthcare professionals for the purpose of care. Information like immunizations, ECG results, diagnostic images and reports, written medical reports (e.g. surgery reports, consultations, hospital admissions), diagnostic lab testing results (e.g. blood tests, urine tests, blood bank info), allergies and intolerances (drug and food allergies, food intolerances), prescription history, and general patient information (e.g. name, birthdate, personal health number, address, phone number). Those who are not eligible for the study will be informed of the reason(s) for ineligibility (generally it will be a safety exclusion and they should be aware of this). Those who are eligible will be randomized to receive HCQ or placebo for a total duration of 5 days. Study drug will be delivered to their residence by courier. Telephone follow-up will occur at day 7 (range 7-10 days) and at day 30 (range 25-35 days).

Ceci est un essai de phase 3, multicentrique, randomisée, en double aveugle, contrôlée contre placebo pour évaluer l'éfficacité et innocuité de la colchicine dans des adultes à risque, diagnostiqués avec l'infection par la COVID-19. A peu près 6,000 sujets conformants aux critères d'inclusion et sans critère d'exclusion, seront randomisé au traitement avec soi la colchicine ou des comprimés contenant un placebo pour une période de 30 jours.

The study uses an adaptive design with initial enrolment in the Ambulatory cohort (Cohort A) followed by a safety assessment before initiation of enrolment in the Hospitalized cohort (Cohort B). Ambulatory patients (Cohort A) with confirmed COVID-19 deemed well enough for home isolation will be randomized to receive a single subcutaneous injection of Peginterferon lambda 180µg prior to discharge or no therapy. Patients will be followed remotely with a home visit for a repeat swab at Day 4 and 8 with the primary endpoint being the proportion positive for SARS-CoV-2 on Day 8. Safety data will be reviewed by the Data Safety and Monitoring Committee after 50% of the Ambulatory cohort (n=60) has been enrolled. If the committee approves study continuation, enrolment will continue in the Ambulatory cohort (Cohort A) and will begin in the Hospitalized cohort (Cohort B). Hospitalized patients (Cohort B) with moderate but not severe COVID-19 will be enrolled and randomized to Peginterferon lambda 180µg on Day 1 and 8, or best supportive care. The primary endpoint will be the proportion positive for SARS-CoV-2 by nasopharyngeal swab on Day 15. In addition to the primary endpoints on which the study is powered, numerous secondary endpoints will be evaluated. Samples will also be collected for ancillary studies to better understand predictors of disease severity and response to treatment.

Le program de recherches ACT COVID-19 constitue deux études parallèles comparant le traitement, communautaire ou hospitalier, avec l'azithromycine et la chloroquine au soins standards, pour des patients testé positif pour le COVID-19

Phase 2: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sarilumab relative to the control arm in adult patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 Phase 3: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sarilumab relative to the control arm in adult patients hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19

Investigational medications adjunct to clinical standard of care treatment will be assessed to evaluate safety and effectiveness as an anti-COVID-19 treatment. All hospitalized persons with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease that meet eligibility criteria will be offered participation.
