Ivermectin is a safe, inexpensive and effective early COVID-19 treatment validated in 20+ RCTs. Having developed combination therapies for Helicobacter pylori, we tested various COVID-19 combinations and describe the most effective. In 24 consecutive COVID-19 subjects with high risk features, hypoxia and untreated moderate-severe symptoms averaging 9 days, we trialed this novel combination comprising ivermectin, doxycycline, zinc, and Vitamins D and C. It was highly effective. All subjects resolved symptoms in 11 days on average, and oxygen saturation improved in 24hrs (87.4% to 93.1%, p=0.001). Hospitalizations and deaths were significantly fewer (p<0.002 or 0.05, respectively) than in background-matched controls from the CDC database. Triple combination therapy is safe and effective even in moderate-severe patients with hypoxia treated in the outpatient setting.

Background and aims: Efficacy with substitution of tetracycline with amoxicillin, an antibiotics having a very low resistance rate and a high tolerability, in bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) have not been studied in Vietnam. Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of modified BQT vs. standard BQT for first-line Helicobacter pylori eradication. Patients and methods: This is a randomized, prospective study. 120 patients with H.pylori positive-chronic gastritis were randomly divided into two groups. The RBMA group containing rabeprazole 20 mg, bismuth subsalicylic 524mg, metronidazole 500mg, amoxicillin 1000mg, all 2 times a day, for 14 days. The RBMT group received rabeprazole, bismuth subsalicylic, metronidazole and tetracycline. Evaluation for compliance and drug-related side effects were evaluated at the end of two weeks. 4-6 weeks after the end of treatment, the H.pylori eradication rate was determined by the C13urease breath test. Results: Eradication rate was not statistically significative different between the RBMA and the RBMT: 91.2%; 95% confidence interval, 78.2% - 96.7%) vs. 90%; 95% CI, 81.6% - 96.3%) by per-protocol analysis (p = 0.42) and 86.7% (95%CI, 75.84% - 93.09%) vs. 75% (95%CI, 62.1% - 85.3%) by intention-to-treat analysis (ITT, p = 0.06). Adverse effects were significant higher in the RBMT group than in the RBMA group (48.3% vs. 26.7%; p = 0.071) and rate of good compliance was significantly higher in RBMA group than in RBMT group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The modified BQT including rabeprazole, bismuth, metronidazole and amoxicillin achieved a fairly high rate of H.pylori infection eradication with a higher compliance and lower rate of adverse effects compared to the BQT in patients with chronic gastritis. Further studies need to conduct to confirm this new regimens as a first-line therapy in our country. Key words: Modified bismuth quadruple therapy, BQT, Helicobacter pylori eradication

Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is associated with systemic and intratumoral immunosuppression. Part of this immunosuppression is mediated by myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Preclinical evidence shows that ibrutinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor FDA approved for use in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and known to be CNS penetrant, can decrease MDSC generation and function. Also, focal radiation therapy (RT) synergizes with anti-PD-1 therapy in mouse GBM models. Thus, we aimed to test the combination of these approaches on immune activation and survival in a preclinical immune-intact GBM mouse model. METHODS C57BL/6 mice intracranially implanted with the murine glioma cell line GL261-Luc2 were divided into 8 groups consisting of treatments with ibrutinib, RT (10 Gy SRS), or anti-PD-1 individually or in each combination (along with a no treatment control group). Immune cell subset changes (flow-cytometry) and animal survival (Kaplan-Meier) were assessed (n=10 mice per group). RESULTS Median survival of the following groups including control (28 days), ibrutinib (27 days), RT (30 days) or anti-PD-1 (32 days) showed no significant differences. However, a significant improvement in median survival was seen in mice given combinations of ibrutinib+RT (35 days), ibrutinib+anti-PD-1 (38 days), and triple therapy with ibrutinib+RT+anti-PD-1 (48 days, p &lt; 0.05) compared to controls or single treatment groups. The reproducible survival benefit of triple combination therapy was abrogated in the setting of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell depletion. Contralateral intracranial tumor re-challenge in long-term surviving mice suggested generation of tumor-specific immune memory responses. The immune profile of the tumor microenvironment (TME) showed increased cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and decreased MDSCs and regulatory T cells in the triple combination therapy mice compared to controls. CONCLUSION The combination of ibrutinib, focal RT, and anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade led to a significant survival benefit compared to controls in a preclinical model of GBM.
