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
et al., EClinicalMedicine, doi:10.1016/j.eclinm.2020.100720 (preprint 12/7)
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: 30175 (supplementary appendix). NCT04390022.
