  • Disease site meets following criteria:
  • Head and Neck / High-Risk Skin Cancer
  • Lung Cancer
  • Breast Cancer
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Central Nervous System Tumors
  • Gastrointestinal System Cancer
  • Gynecologic cancer
  • Other disease sites permitted at PI discretion

Exclusion

  • Previous positive test for SARS-CoV-2
  • Previous positive serology test for SARS-CoV-2

  • Live in a skilled nursing facility with COVID-19 symptoms (Temp \>38 C in addition to sore throat, cough, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, body aches or chills, diarrhea, anosmia)
  • Known hypersensitivity to hydroxychloroquine or 4-aminoquinoline derivatives
  • Pre-existing retinopathy

  • Breast Feeding
  • Tamoxifen
  • Absolute neutrophil Count \<1,000/ml at registration
  • Concurrent use of any other quinine derivative
  • Antiarrhythmic medications: amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, procainamide, quinidine, flecainide

  • History of suicidal ideation
  • CT Criteria for Enrollment Exclusion (Optional - only for patients who received a diagnostic CT as part of standard of care or a thoracic CT as part of radiation simulation): All patients with COVID-19 typical radiographic findings on CT Chest as defined by the RSNA will be excluded. Patients with any NEW COVID-19 indeterminate radiographic findings on CT Chest that are concerning for COVID-19 will be excluded. COVID-19 indeterminate features are permitted if they can be demonstrated as STABLE on prior (\>14 calendar days) CT Chest or PET/CT. If no prior comparison is available AND any intermediate or typical feature is present, the patient is not eligible.
  • COVID-19 Atypical Features
  • Isolated lobar or segmental consolidation without GGO
  • Discrete small nodules (centrilobular, "tree-in-bud")
  • Lung cavitation
  • Smooth interlobular septal thickening with pleural effusion
  • COVID-19 Indeterminate Features
  • Multifocal, diffuse, perihilar, or unilateral GGO with or without consolidation lacking a specific distribution and are non-rounded or non-peripheral
  • Few very small GGO with a non-rounded and non-peripheral distribution
  • COVID-19 Typical Features
  • Peripheral, bilateral GGO with or without consolidation or visible intralobular lines ("crazy paving")
  • Multifocal GGO of rounded morphology with or without consolidation or visible intralobular lines ("crazy paving")
  • Reverse Halo sign or other findings of organizing pneumonia \*\* If pre-treatment QTC can be decreased to \<470, the patient can be re-considered for trial.
