Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing the risk of progression to severe disease and hospitalizations in COVID-19 patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in COVID-19 outpatients reducing the risk of progression to severe disease.

Patients with COVID-19 infection are randomized to receive a single dose of 200mcg/kg of ivermectin or a placebo.

The randomization code is generated by the trial statistician. The allocation is made after fulfilment of both inclusion and exclusion criteria.
