NCT04390022

Brief Summary

SAINT is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups that evaluates the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing nasal viral carriage at seven days after treatment in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who are at low risk of progression to severe disease. The trial is currently planned at a single center in Navarra.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of Patients With a Positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR

    Proportion of patients with a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR from a nasopharyngeal swab at day 7 post-treatment. PCRs were performed using two target genes (E and N).

    7 days post-treatment

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Median Viral Load

    Baseline and on days 4, 7, 14 and 21

  • Fever and Cough Progression

    Days 4, 7, 14 and 21

  • Seroconversion at Day 21

    Up to and including day 21

  • Proportion of Drug-related Adverse Events

    7 days post treatment

  • Levels of IgG, IgM and IgA

    Up to and including day 28

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Ivermectin

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants on this arm will receive a single, oral dose of ivermectin 400 mcg/kg at the enrolment visit.

Drug: Ivermectin

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants on the arm will receive a single, oral dose of placebo tablets at the enrollment visit.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Single dose of STROMECTOL® tablets at 400mcg/kg

Also known as: Stromectol
Ivermectin

Placebo tablets will not match ivermectin but they will be administered by staff not involved in the clinical care.
