, Mar 2026
Significantly lower risk is seen for mortality, ventilation, hospitalization, recovery, and viral clearance. 4 studies from 2 independent teams in 2 countries show significant benefit.
Meta-analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 78% [70‑83%] lower risk. Results are similar for peer-reviewed studies. Currently all studies are RCTs.
Control Proxalutamide
Studies to date are from only 2 different groups.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine safe and effective options with individual risk/benefit analysis and monitoring. All data and sources to reproduce this analysis are in the appendix.
Zheng et al. present another meta-analysis for proxalutamide, showing significant improvements for mortality, mechanical ventilation, hospitalization, and clinical improvement.
