The effect of early treatment with ivermectin on viral load, symptoms and humoral response in patients with non-severe COVID-19: A pilot, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial
Tiny RCT for early treatment of mild COVID-19 in low risk patients, with 12 400mcg/kg single dose ivermectin patients and 12 control patients, showing significantly faster viral load reduction and symptom improvement with ivermectin.Average median viral load for gene E and gene N mid-viral recovery at day 7:Ivermectin: 1637
control: 30175Probability of symptoms at day 28, adjusted for the time since onset and day of followup:Ivermectin: = 0.26 [0.10-0.42]
control: 0.55 [0.33-0.77](details are in the supplementary appendix)
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance, however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes when combining the results of many trials.
