Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Investigate the proportion of patients with COVID-19 who progress to ICU admission by comparing the Ivermectin groups in combination with standard treatment and placebo in combination with standard treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Investigate all-cause mortality at 28 days in the Ivermectin treatment group in combination with standard treatment compared to the placebo and standard treatment group;;Evaluate the proportion of outpatients on day 28 in the Ivermectin treatment group by comparing the Ivermectin groups in combination with standard treatment and placebo in combination with standard treatment;Investigate the time until the improvement of the respiratory condition by comparing the Ivermectin groups in combination with standard treatment and placebo in combination with standard treatment;Investigate the proportion of patients who evolve to mechanical ventilatory support by comparing the Ivermectin groups in combination with standard treatment and placebo in combination with standard treatment;Investigate whether Ivermectin is able to reduce organ dysfunction assessed by significant improvement in the SOFA score by comparing the Ivermectin groups in combination with standard treatment and placebo in combination with standard treatment;;Investigate the incidence and duration of antibiotic treatment in the Ivermectin treatment group, comparing the Ivermectin groups in combination with standard treatment and placebo in combination with standard treatment;;Investigate percentage of SARS-Cov-2 detection in oropharyngeal swab samples on day 5 after treatment;;Investigate the safety and tolerability of Ivermectin;
