Old drug tested as new hope against COVID-19

NCT ID NCT05889793

Summary

This study tested whether a low-dose oral medication called emetine could help treat COVID-19 symptoms and prevent severe outcomes like hospitalization. Researchers planned to give participants either emetine or a placebo pill for 10 days to compare results. The trial was terminated early after enrolling only 4 participants, so no conclusions about effectiveness could be reached.
