On-going Studies in IMU

Chloroquine for Influenza Prevention (CHIP)

 

The CHIP trial is testing the possibility that Chloroquine, a simple and well-known medicine, might prevent flu. If this trial shows that Chloroquine works, it would be an ideal medicine to take for flu prevention for several reasons: it is taken by mouth, can be taken only once weekly, and has been in widespread clinical use for over 50 years and is known to be safe. Stay-in is not required for this trial.
