Hydroxychloroquine removal from COVID-19 treatment clinical trials

Maxwell made this Official Information request to Health Research Council of New Zealand

The request was successful.

From: Maxwell

Dear Health Research Council of New Zealand,

I write as a New Zealand citizen.

In your "Update on COVID-19 clinical trials" dated 17 February 2021 you state:

"...all three clinical trials planned to include hydroxychloroquine in their evaluation of potential treatments for COVID-19, however given the rapidly emerging evidence on potential COVID-19 treatments from other international trials, all three trials have adapted significantly and have removed hydroxychloroquine as a candidate for treatment or prevention."

Can you please provide all the evidence from international trials and related documentation held or received by HRCNZ and/or related agencies that went into this hydroxychloroquine removal decision?

Yours faithfully,

Maxwell
