U.N. virus therapy trial pauses hydroxychloroquine testing

GENEVA - The World Health Organization said Monday that it will temporarily drop hydroxychloroquine - the anti-malarial drug U.S. President Trump says he is taking - from its global study into experimental COVID-19 treatments, saying that its experts need to review all available evidence to date.

In a press briefing, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that in light of a paper published last week in the Lancet that showed people taking hydroxychloroquine were at higher risk of death and heart problems, there would be "a temporary pause" on the hydroxychloroquine arm of its global clinical trial.
