Moderate/severe case 95% Improvement Relative Risk Case 84% Iota-carrageenan  Chahla et al.  Prophylaxis  RCT Is prophylaxis with iota-carrageenan + ivermectin beneficial for COVID-19? RCT 234 patients in Argentina (October - December 2020) Fewer moderate/severe cases (p=0.0016) and cases (p=0.004) c19early.org Chahla et al., American J. Therapeutics, Jan 2021 Favorscarrageenan Favorscontrol 0 0.5 1 1.5 2+
Prophylaxis RCT for ivermectin and iota-carrageenan in Argentina, 117 healthcare workers treated with ivermectin and iota-carrageenan, and 117 controls, showing significantly lower cases with treatment. There were no moderate/severe cases with treatment vs. 10 in the control group. There were 4 cases with treatment (all mild) vs. 25 for the control group.
Targeted administration to the respiratory tract provides treatment directly to the typical source of initial SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, and allows for rapid onset of action, higher local drug concentration, and reduced systemic side effects.
Study covers iota-carrageenan and ivermectin.
risk of moderate/severe case, 95.2% lower, RR 0.05, p = 0.002, treatment 0 of 117 (0.0%), control 10 of 117 (8.5%), NNT 12, relative risk is not 0 because of continuity correction due to zero events (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm), moderate/severe COVID-19.
risk of case, 84.0% lower, RR 0.16, p = 0.004, treatment 4 of 117 (3.4%), control 25 of 117 (21.4%), NNT 5.6, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, all cases.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
