Grant Program:

Grant Activity:
Ivermectin as an anti-viral against SARS-CoV-2
Purpose:
We have shown that the drug Ivermectin, which is already used in humans to treat a number of parasite infections, is also very effective at preventing the virus that causes COVID-19 from replicating. We have shown this in virus infecting cells in a laboratory and now we will confirm whether it is able to be used in people suffering from COVID-19. As ivermectin is already safe for use, if it is effective against the virus at these safe concentrations it can be rapidly moved into human trials.
