Could a common lupus drug have shielded patients from COVID-19?
NCT ID NCT04481633
Summary
This study looked at whether hydroxychloroquine, a medication many lupus patients take long-term, might have helped protect them from catching COVID-19 or getting severely ill during the pandemic. Researchers compared over 550 lupus patients who were already taking the drug to similar patients who were not. They checked blood tests for COVID-19 antibodies to see who got infected and reviewed medical records to compare how sick people became.
