Brief Summary: Multicenter randomized placebo-controlled parallel blinded interventional treatment clinical trial with two arms

Population 392 Patients with COVID-19 Coronavirus Disease-19 confirmed by RT-PCR Real Time polymerase chain reaction symptomatic in the early phase of the disease

Experimental group 196 patients nitazoxanide 500mg 8 8 hours for 5 days Control group 196 patients placebo 88 hours for 5 days
Detailed Description: SARITA-2 is a multicenter randomized placebo-controlled parallel -blinded interventional treatment clinical trial with two arms which aims to study the impact of nitazoxanide in the early phase of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Disease-19

Experimental group 196 patients received nitazoxanide 500mg 8 8 hours for 5 days Control group 196 patients received placebo 88 hours for 5 days

Population 392 Patients with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR Real Time polymerase chain reaction symptomatic in the early phase of the disease

Calculation of the sample size was based on a previous study which demonstrated that 78 of Covid-19 patients in group 4 Hospitalized without oxygen therapy according to the WHO ordinal classification experienced complete resolution of symptoms after receiving placebo10 In the present trial patients were classified as group 2 Symptomatic and independent and a greater degree of recovery as measured by symptom-free days 80 was expected even after placebo Thus assuming an 11 increase in symptom-free days in those patients who would receive nitazoxanide compared to placebo we would need approximately 196 patients per experimental group admitting a beta error of 15 and alpha error of 5 for a total n of 392 patients Calculation of the sample size was done by GPower 3192 Universität Düsseldorf Düsseldorf Germany
