### Description Module

**Brief Summary:** Ivermectin, a classical antiparasitic and anti-scabies agent, has demonstrated antiviral activity for a variety of viruses including chikungunya virus, zyka virus and dengue virus and was tested as a potentially effective for COVID-19.

Although ivermectin demonstrated potent in vitro action by reducing viral load by 5000x after 48 hours of incubation, simultaneous pharmacokinetics simulations suggested that the minimum effective concentrations would be unfeasible to be reached within safety range (EC-50 = 2 Micromol).

However, despite the theoretical unfeasible concentrations to be achieved, preliminary observational yet well-structured studies followed by randomized clinical trials (RCTs) demonstrated ivermectin efficacy when combined with hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline or azithromycin, which was corroborated by a recent systematic review and metanalysis. In common, a dose-response effect for effectiveness was observed, and no adverse effects was reported at any dose between 0.2mg/kg/day and 1.0mg/kg/day.

Based on the scientific rationale combined with the preliminary evidence, ivermectin has sufficient evidence to be tested in higher doses in a RCT for COVID-19. The investigators propose to test ivermectin at high doses as a treatment for patients recently diagnosed with COVID-19, aiming to explore the possible protective role of high-dose ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 infection in terms of reduction of clinic and virologic disease duration, and prevention of oxygen use, hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, death, and post-COVID persisting symptoms.

**Detailed Description:** Overall

COVID-19 is a multisystemic disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has become a pandemic largely due to a combination of favorable transmission and infection characteristics for its spread, including prolonged preclinical or also asymptomatic yet transmitting period, relatively highly resistant to mechanical and physical barriers and prolonged survival in the air, and transmission patterns not yet fully elucidated.

While vaccines are not widely available, the number of new cases should not decrease dramatically, unfortunately, since a large percentage of the population has not been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 yet, reinfection becomes increasingly plausible with mutations in the virus, and virus contention policies failed to be 100% effective.

Considering potential antiviral approaches for COVID-19, their effectiveness only make sense if tested and given early in the disease, during viral dissemination. The learning that oseltamivir is only effective for Influenza A in the first three days of disease finds strong plausibility, and reinforces the expected lack of effectiveness of any drug with in vitro or preliminary antiviral activity reported when tested in hospitalized or non-mild patients, once COVID-19 presents tend to present mild symptoms during the viral dissemination stage.

An actual early detection of COVID-19, i.e., before its progression to further inflammatory stages, is challenging, once the earliest symptoms tend to be unspecific, mild, and hardly attributable to COVID-19. By suspecting of COVID-19 in the presence of any symptom, specific to COVID-19 or not, sensitivity was met to be above 90% while specificity was also relatively high (above 50%). In addition, time-to-treat, rather than which drug to choose, could better determine the effectiveness of a specific approach.

Ivermectin: potential antiviral activity for COVID-19

Among drugs potentially effective for COVID-19, despite the classical antiparasitic and anti-scabies use, ivermectin has demonstrated antiviral activity for a variety of viruses by inhibiting and reducing the viral shedding duration, including chikungunya and other alphaviruses, zyka virus, dengue virus and other simple-strain RNA viruses.

In the search for drugs with anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity, considering its effects on other viruses, ivermectin was tested in a Vero-hSLAM cell model and demonstrated potent in vitro action, by reducing viral load by 5000x after 48 hours of incubation. However, after initial promising results, simultaneous pharmacokinetics simulations suggested that the minimum effective concentrations would be unfeasible to be reached within safety range (EC-50 = 2 Micromol).

Although the theoretical minimum concentration required for antiviral action was apparently at least 17 times higher than the lethal dose and up to 10,000 times the usually prescribed doses for humans ( IC50 of 2.2 - 2.8 µM for monkeys), which would reduce the chances of ivermectin efficacy for COVID-19, preliminary observational yet well-structured studies demonstrated substantial synergistic action of ivermectin when added to "standard of care", usually hydroxychloroquine with or without macrolides. In a specific study, the use of ivermectin, even in low doses, reduced by 40% the absolute risk of death among patients more severely affected by COVID-19.

Some randomized clinical trials (RCTs) demonstrated efficacy of ivermectin when combined with hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline or azithromycin, in both mildly (and presumedly early) and more severely affected subjects with COVID-19. Demonstrated benefits included lower disease progression and reduced COVID-related mortality.

In comparative analyses, combinations between ivermectin and azithromycin, doxycycline or hydroxychloroquine demonstrated superiority compared to combinations between hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin or hydroxychloroquine alone.

The exact mechanisms of action remain nuclear. At least one study employing higher doses (0.6mg/kg/day) demonstrated in vivo antiviral activity, but only when maximum concentration reached serum levels above 160 ng/ml, which only occurred in 45% of subjects, even at higher doses. The antiviral mechanisms include modification in the ACE-2 glycation patterns, inhibition of the viral Helicase (NSP13) and disruption of the alpha-importin heterodimer.

In a recent systematic review and metanalysis, a dose-response correlation has also been observed in terms of endpoints, reinforcing the role of ivermectin as actins as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 action drug. However, even in lower doses ivermectin was able to demonstrate clinical benefits, allowing the hypothesis that ivermectin also exerts anti-inflammatory effects, which could include the blockage of STAT-1 migration to the nucleus, and could justify its use even at later stages of the disease.

Collectively, higher yet safe ivermectin doses find stronger plausibility and preliminary evidence to be tested in RCTs. In addition, approaches to increase ivermectin absorption and bioavailability should be encouraged.

Based on the scientific rationale combined with preliminary evidence, ivermectin has sufficient evidence to be tested at higher doses in a RCT for COVID-19. The investigators propose to test ivermectin at high doses as a treatment for patients recently diagnosed with COVID-19. This study is intended to explore the possible protective role of high-dose ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 infection in terms of reduction of clinic and virologic disease duration, and prevention of oxygen use, hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, death, and post-COVID persisting symptoms.
