Brief Summary:
The Prevent-COVID study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, two-armed, placebo-controlled, double-blind, interventional study in which the efficacy and safety of ivermectin in COVID-19 post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is examined in adult, close family contacts living in the household of a subject suffering from COVID-19.
Detailed Description:
Study population and study sites:
The study is carried out in about 30 private practices or clinics in Germany that regularly carry out SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests and treat COVID-19 patients.
Adult close contact persons of newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients living in the same household are considered for participation.
Study duration and assessment:
The study will last 14 days, in which the following study-specific measures will be undertaken:
* Documentation of demographics (age, gender, ethnicity, height and weight, degree of relationship to the COVID-19 patient)
* Documentation of current comorbidities
* Documentation of current medical accompanying measures
* Documentation of the general condition
* Vital signs
* COVID-19 symptoms
* SARS-CoV-2 PCR test: Only for medical confirmation of the presence of COVID-19 symptoms during an unplanned COVID-19 visit or final visit.
* Subject diary (daily measurement of body temperature, contact intensity with the index person)
* Pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential
Objectives:
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of ivermectin in the COVID-19 post-exposure prophylaxis of adult contact persons living in the household of a person suffering from COVID-19 (index person)
Secondary objectives:
* To demonstrate the safety of ivermectin in the COVID-19 post-exposure prophylaxis of adult contact persons living in the household of a person suffering from COVID-19 (index person)
* To determine the severity of the symptoms of subjects suffering from COVID-19 during the study period and the comparison between the ivermectin and the placebo group.
