NCT04429711

Brief Summary

Ivermectin which is an FDA-approved broad spectrum anti-parasitic agent, has also anti-viral activity. In vitro study have shown its activity against SARS-CoV-2, however its clinical effect on patients with COVID-19 never been tested. In this RCT we would like to evaluate the effect of Ivermectin on reduction of viral shedding among mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, and in shortening the symptom resolution time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Viral clearance at day 6

    The primary outcome will be the viral clearance at day 6 in the intervention group compared to placebo.

    Outcome will be determined till 6 days post intervention

  • Viral shedding duration

    Secondary outcomes: viral shedding duration (time between first positive PCR to last of two consecutive negative tests)

    Outcome will be determined till 14 days post intervention

  • Symptoms clearance time

    Time between drug treatment and symptoms resolution

    Outcome will be determined till 14 days post intervention
