Randomized-controlled Trial of the Effectiveness of COVID-19 Early Treatment in Community

There is an urgent need to identify interventions against COVID-19 suitable for wide use in the community that have been proven to be effective in reducing symptom duration or hospitalisation. There is urgent need to know whether potential COVID-19 treatments such as Fluvoxamine, Bromhexine, Cyproheptadine, and Niclosamide that are available for rapid pragmatic evaluation might modify the course of COVID-19 infections, particularly among those who are at higher risk of complications, such as those aged 50 years and over with comorbidity and those aged 65 years and over. Most reported trials have been conducted in hospital settings, and there is little evidence from community settings, where most people with COVID-19 receive care and where deployment of effective early treatment could speed time to recovery and reduce complications. The investigators established a multi-arm, adaptive platform, randomised controlled trial for community treatment of COVID-19 syndromic illness in people at higher risk of an adverse illness course.
