The New Jersey pharmaceutical company supplying ivermectin to a UK trial that was paused for a short period of time, says there are no supply issues with its pills.
Ivermectin is being investigated as part of the government-backed Platform Randomized Trial of Treatments in the Community for Epidemic and Pandemic Illnesses (PRINCIPLE) in the United Kingdom as a possible home treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The trial was put on hold due to âtemporary supply issuesâ as reported by Medpage Today on Dec. 14.
Details were not provided on the cause of the supply issues. The trialâs joint chief investigator, professor Chris Butler, and the trialâs press team declined to comment and respond to a query asking when the supply issue is expected to be resolved.
