The #Activ6 trial ivermectin 600μg/kg is a scientific fraud. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Here is how they justify dosage and duration: "a possible anti-viral activity with increasing dose." citing Krolewiecki et al. study.

If we look at the protocol of the activ6 trial published as a supplement of the 400μg/kg arm published in the JAMA: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…, here is the rationale for selection of dose (600μg/kg).
2/n
Reference 66 is Krolewiecki et al. study. 1rst problem: Krolewiecki study doesn't contain a 300μg/kg as they claim here. What is right is "The anti-viral activity was identified in the subgroup of patients on ivermectin with higher mean plasma concentrations."

Tout le monde saute sur le dernier préprint de Boulware et cie, le mec qui ne serait pas capable de détecter à l'aveugle une différence entre une pomme et une orange.

Rappelons donc que cette étude hérite des biais similaires au bras IVM 400μg/kg d'#activ6, même si on aurait pu espérer que la meilleure posologie (dosage et durée) apporte des résultats positifs:
1/ Traitement à jeun.
2/n
2/ Données manquantes dans les sous-groupes
3/ Hétérogénéité dans le délai du traitement rendant l'analyse statistique caduque

4/ Un sous-groupe de patients déjà guéri à J1 (No symptom)
