This from an article on Lindy's thread earlier today. Not a formal study, but Hydroxychloroquine is shown to be effective in a large sample within India, including prophylactic use:

100,000 patients sampled who were close contacts of positive individuals.

48,873 took one dose

102 became sick

12 died

17,776 took two doses

48 became sick

1 died

33,563 took three doses

43 became sick

1 died “The task force of medical experts, including physicians and super specialists, have recommend and backed the drive to administer HCQ in cluster areas and high exposure cases. We have discussed the analysis and the results with the government. The benefits seem to far outweigh the debate around its risks and it has certainly helped in implementing the preventive strategies planned for the city,” Rao said.
