Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine have no better chance of survival than those who don't receive the drug hailed by Trump as a 'game-changer', results of a New York state Health Department trial suggest.
'I think from the review that I heard basically it was not seen as a positive, not seen as a negative,' said Governor Andrew Cuomo during CNN's coronavirus town hall.
Ultimately, the study, conducted by SUNY at Albany, is intended to involved some 4,000 coronavirus patients, but the preliminary results are from a sample of 600 patients.
Survival rates were no better among the group treated with the experimental drug than among those who got the standard supportive care, including oxygen, IV fluids and, if necessary, mechanical ventilation.
On Friday, shortly after preliminary results were reported, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formally warned against using the drug outside of hospitals due to the risk that it could cause heart arrhythmias.
It's a major blow to President Trump, who has sung the praises of the drug, as well as to the global search for an effective treatment for coronavirus.
More than 50,000 Americans have died of coronavirus, and 890,000 have been infected.
Officials and doctors alike have hoped that hydroxychloroquine, a drug developed nearly half a century ago to treat malaria, might improve coronavirus patients' odds by combating severe inflammation resulting from the viral infection.
In lab tests, the drug showed promise, appearing to quell the 'cytokine storm' of immune signalling cells that causes inflammation to run wild in the body, overwhelming the lungs.
Hydroxychloroquine interacts with the human immune response, making it useful in treating autoimmune diseases like lupus.
It was even added the official lists of treatments to try for doctors treating COVID-19 patients in China and South Korea,

Not for nothing. But it's important WHEN it was first given and why we're not seeing Zinc in the mix and what pre-existing conditions these people had.
President Trump got his information from someone and probably several persons. So I'd like to know who they are and what type of relationship they have/had with Fauci.
Something just ain't sitting right....and Fauci is the real invisible enemy.
I hope Trump is unavailable to take Cuomo’s calls in the future.
There is no doubt they are using elderly, obese, COPD, at risk patients who died as their base.
They have to.
As we know the reported deaths due to COVID 19 are all fabricated and made up. The primary cause of death is usually NOT COVID 19.
So yeah. HCQ didn’t work? Duh! It’s not supposed to work on the average CV19 death.
So, medical studies break along partisan lines now? That about it? Seems that way.
On this subject I just tried to send the following email to Neil Cavuto who seems to have a thing in for Trump-does anybody have a good email for him?
Dear Neil Cavuto,
God Bless you, I know you have health issues but you just angrily spent spent another two minutes going off on Trump and HQC and what he said about injecting disinfectant-very Trump like ironically.
Just FYI-I was on a conference call with 7 other data analysis and no one took it as serious.
And then you went on about Hydroxychloroquine (the AP/VA non peer reviewed is irresponsible reporting at best . Look at the actual non randomized study, they added 19 dying patients to the HC cohort to get their results and completely changed the result. (Compare table 4 to the results on page 2) and even though the HC cohort was already less healthy to start with.) They didn’t die taking it, they were already at deaths door.
On latest FDA report this is the gist of the report: In one such report, doctors at a New York hospital said that heart rhythm abnormalities developed in most of the 84 coronavirus patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin, a combo Trump has promoted.
I get that Trump is a piece of work and often annoying but you are losing objectivity.
Your Trump bashing it would be acceptable if you ever spent that amount of time and energy actually digging into these reports. On your previous rant on 4/21 he skipped the part about it being not rigorous and missed that it is not the largest study with at least 3 larger ones out there.
Suddenly if there is a negative report we don’t seem to require that it be rigorous or even peer reviewed. Would love to see more interviews like this one with Dr Zelenko who has a much larger study than the one cited by yourself. There are at least two other 1,000 plus test. https://www.dennisprager.com/video/dr-zelenko-this-is-a-game-changer-potentially/
Zinc?! An un-patented supplement that does not require a prescription? What doctor would use that? /s
I’m pretty sure they didn’t use the zinc.

In the University at Albany study, the researchers plan to analyze 1,600 Covid-19 patients divided equally into four groups:
those taking hydroxychloroquine;
those taking chloroquine, a similar drug;
those taking hydroxychloroquine along with the antibiotic azithromycin;
and those taking none of the drugs, as a comparison group.

I’m assuming Hydroxychloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine sulfate arethe same thing ?
Interesting how much leftist in the media want people to die. Someone needs to approach them publically with a document stating they refuse treatment for themselves and their family with HCQ.
I cannot get past Fauci's gushing messages of adoration to Hillary in the past. Not to be trusted after that. As if anyone in the government is above lying and coverups at any time.
Every scientist who recommends HCQ:
“This only works in combination with zinc. It doesn’t work without supplemental zinc.”
New York study: AWESOME!
We will test it WITHOUT zinc since everyone says it doesn’t work WITHOUT it. This will be a totally authoritative study and we will be sure the results are leaked and blasted everywhere. The media will announce in capital letters that it doesn’t work. Science!
No, no zinc and no AZT either- the original testable French trial drugs and dosing. No, this was hydroxychloroquine single agent. And not double blinded or placebo.
Here it the idiotic quote that sets up how “a blow to Trump” it is, to try and build up some sort of validity that is not there:
“is intended to involved some 4,000 coronavirus patients, but the preliminary results are from a sample of 600 patients.”
Sampled how? tested, how? Antibodies test or simply “infection” and no quantification of underlying conditions. Another “push study” rolled out by non-professional paid “investigators” to provide a ..... Tale, told by an Idiot, and Signifying.... Nothing.
When he's out of office, they'll re-write history to make him look wrong about this.
Just like any medication it will be successful on some people and not in others. But, to repeat, Trump NEVER said it WAS a game change.
Based on liberal medias logic, Cuomorons ventilators are more lethal than cyanide.
So it didn’t hurt?
Why not give it a shot?
Nothing to lose when you are facing death.
Any negative comments on HCQ = No Scrip!
BTTT!
>>The ventilators kill 80% of those put on them
And yet the press and politicians aren’t prohibiting ventilators in these cases.
