Brief Summary

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

Recent study reported in vitro synergistic interaction between two FDA approved drugs, remdesivir (RDV) and ivermectin (IVM) resulting in enhanced antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, the causative pathogen of COVID-19. The aim of the current study is comparing the efficacy and safety of combining remdesivir and ivermectin versus using remdesivir alone in patients with severe COVID-19.
