COVID-19 drug trial halted after just 4 patients
NCT ID NCT05889793
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a medicine called emetine could help adults aged 30 and older recover from COVID-19. Participants took emetine or a placebo daily for 10 days. The trial was stopped early after only 4 people enrolled, so we don't have enough information to know if emetine works for COVID-19.
