Retrospective 157 inpatients and 185 outpatients in Egypt, showing improved recovery with mebendazole. For outpatients, the trreatment group was younger (40 vs. 48). Mebendazole was offered to patients when ivermectin/HCQ were unavailable.
risk of hospitalization, 51.6% lower, RR 0.48, p = 0.33, treatment 3 of 94 (3.2%), control 6 of 91 (6.6%), NNT 29.
recovery time, 42.9% lower, relative time 0.57, p < 0.001, treatment 94, control 91.
risk of death, 50.9% lower, RR 0.49, p = 0.35, treatment 3 of 68 (4.4%), control 8 of 89 (9.0%), NNT 22, late treatment result.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 62.6% lower, RR 0.37, p = 0.30, treatment 2 of 68 (2.9%), control 7 of 89 (7.9%), NNT 20, late treatment result.
hospitalization time, 30.0% lower, relative time 0.70, p < 0.001, treatment 68, control 89, late treatment result.

Background. An in-silico screen identifed mebendazole with potential antiviral activity that could be a repurposed drug against SARSCoV-2. Mebendazole is a well-tolerated and cheap antihelminthic agent that is readily available worldwide and thus could be a therapeutic tool in the fght against COVID-19. Methods. Tis is an observational retrospective study of PCR-confrmed COVID-19 patients who received mebendazole with the intention-to-treat. Te study included an inpatient cohort (157 inpatients) and an outpatient cohort (185 outpatients). Of the 157 inpatients and 185 outpatients, 68 (43.3%) and 94 (50.8%) received mebendazole, respectively. Patients who presented within the same timeframe but did not receive mebendazole were used as controls. Patients received standard-ofcare treatment including remdesivir, dexamethasone, and anticoagulants as deemed necessary by the treating physician. Te following clinical outcomes were evaluated: for the inpatient cohort, length of stay (LOS) at the hospital, need for ventilation (combined invasive and noninvasive), and mortality; for the outpatient cohort, time to symptom resolution, need for hospitalization, and mortality. Results. For the inpatient cohort, the median age did not difer between the treatment and control groups; 62 (56, 67) vs. 62 (56, 68), P, and there was a comparable proportion of males in both groups; 43 (63%) vs. 55 (62%), P � 0.85. Te hospital LOS was 3.5 days shorter in the treatment group compared to the..
