Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluation of the clinical safety of ivermectin versus placebo as an add-on therapy to the standard treatment of COVID-19 disease in both treatment arms. ;Secondary Objective: - Evaluation of the condition of patients at the level of 8-level Ordinal Scale S1 on individual days of the clinical trial - Time to first improvement by 1 category compared to Day 1 on the 8-degree Ordinal Scale S1 - Time to first deterioration by 1 category compared to Day 1 on the 8-degree Ordinal Scale S1 - Duration (days) of need for oxygen therapy - Length (days) of the need for non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygenation - Duration (days) of need for intubation and mechanical ventilation or organ support by vasopressors, dialysis or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) - Mortality - Length (days) of need for hospitalization - change of X-ray findings on the lungs during the 10th day - upon the invetigator's decision and the length of hospitalization (control X-ray on the 10th day or on the day of discharge - in case of a clinical reason) - Evaluation of concomitant treatment in both arms - Evaluation of the change in viral load as a function of time ;Primary end point(s): 1.
