Official title: Efficacy of Ivermectin in COVID-19 : A Randomized Controlled Trial
Study question: Is ivermectin + chloroquine more effective than chloroquine alone?
This will be a random controlled trial with 100 participants (ages 15 - 65) who have covid-19 as confirmed by PCR test, with no to moderate-severity symptoms. No masking. Apparently underway since 4/15!
It is a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of Ivermectin in COVID-19. Patient recruited will be assigned to two groups one group will be given ivermectin with standard chloroquine regimen and the other group will be receiving chloroquine only. Outcome will be recorded by documenting PCR reports at 48, 96 and 144 hours.
The dose of ivermectin is 12mg, low-end standard. The "Safety, tolerance..." study indicates that 200mg is safe for a 220-pound human.
Exclusion criteria: Malignant diseases, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and cirrhosis liver with CPT class B or C.
So no guidance to us diabetics. :(
This is the first I've heard of ivermectin interest in Pakistan (if memory serves). It's exciting that results are expected in July! Like, 2 months!
