Statistically significant lower risk is seen for hospitalization. 2 studies from 2 independent teams in 2 countries show significant improvements.
Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 47% [-57‑82%] lower risk, without reaching statistical significance. Currently all studies are RCTs.
Currently there is limited data, with only 359 patients and only 10 control events for the most serious outcome in trials to date. Studies to date are from only 2 different groups.
No treatment or intervention is 100% effective. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used based on risk/benefit analysis. Multiple treatments are typically used in combination, and other treatments may be more effective.
