Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of ivermectin on PCR test, clinical improvement, percentage and duration of hospitalization in outpatients with COVID-19
Design
Clinical trial with control group, parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 1000 patients. Patients are divided into two groups by a simple randomization method with a table of random numbers. The control group will receive standard and placebo treatment and the intervention group will receive Ivermectin for three days in addition to the standard treatment.
Settings and conduct
COVID-19 positive rapid test patients referred to family physician and infectious disease specialist are divided into two groups of intervention and control. The present study is double-blind so that patients and physicians will be unaware of how the intervention and control groups are assigned.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with COVID-19 positive rapid test or RT-PCR age >5 years and weight >15 kg are included in the study
Intervention groups
The intervention group will use Iranian standard treatment protocol for COVID-19 in addition to Ivermectin 6 mg oral tablet at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg manufactured by Alborz Daru Co of Iran for 3 days as follows: weight 15-24, 6 mg; Weight 35-25, 12 mg; Weight 50-36, 18 mg; Weight 80-5, 24 mg and weight over 80, 0.4 mg/kg
Main outcome variables
The primary outpoints are clinical improvement and negative PCR result after 6 days. Clinical improvement is defined as reduction in persistent cough (more than one hour of excessive coughing, or 3 periods of coughing in 24 hours that disrupts daily life and ability to work) and tachypnea and O2 saturation above 94%.

Randomization description
Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups of intervention and control with 500 members using block randomization with block sizes of 4. Randomization will be done using the software randomization option in Excel. The randomization process is performed by the study methodology consultant and clinical researchers are not aware of the randomization process.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
After selecting the samples, none of the participant will be aware of randomization and allocation to groups. Physicians are given a table of pre-coded numbered numbers and patients are entered into the study in order of table numbers. Therefore, the present study is double-blind. Ivermectin and placebo tablets are the same shape, color and size and are delivered to the patient/parents in a package.
