Small RCT comparing ivermectin 6mg & 12mg q84hr with lopinavir/ritonavir, showing a statistically significant and dose dependent effect of ivermectin on reducing the time to PCR-.
The study does not report mortality, hospitalization, progression, recovery, etc. The paper does report change in SpO2 (Figure 3, ∆SpO2), where a similar improvement with a smaller p value is seen with ivermectin, however this result is unadjusted and there are large differences between groups. Specifically, baseline SpO2 is lower in the control group, giving the control group more room to improve, therefore the actual benefit of ivermectin is likely to be even larger than the benefit in ∆SpO2 shown.

Introduction: In vitro studies have shown the efficacy of Ivermectin (IV) to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 viral replication, but questions remained as to in-vivo applications. We set out to explore the efficacy and safety of Ivermectin in persons infected with COVID19. Methods: We conducted a translational proof of concept randomized, double blind placebo controlled, dose response and parallel group study of IV efficacy in RT-polymerase chain reaction proven COVID 19 positive patients. Sixty-two patients were randomized to three treatment groups. (A) IV 6 mg regime, (B) IV 12 mg regime (given Q84 h for 2 weeks) (C, control) Lopinavir/Ritonavir. All groups plus standard of Care. Results: The Days to COVID negativity (DTN) was significantly and dose dependently reduced by IV (P ¼ 0.0066). The DTN for Control were, ¼ 9.1þ/-5.2, for A 6.0 þ/-2.9 and for B 4.6 þ/-3.2. Two way repeated measures ANOVA of ranked COVID 19 þ/scores at 0, 84, 168 and252h showed a significant IV treatment effect (P ¼ 0.035) and time effect (P < 0.0001). IV also tended to increase SPO2% compared to controls, P ¼ 0.073, 95% CI-0.39 to 2.59 and increased platelet count compared to C (P ¼ 0.037) 95%CI 5.55-162.55 Â 10 3 /ml. The platelet count increase was inversely correlated to DTN (r ¼ -0.52, P ¼ 0.005). No SAE was reported.
