[–] rrmm 6y ago ↗ Well that's disappointing, although not definitive.Another study gave a slightly rosier picture but had no control arm, so it isn't all that useful https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2007016The Chinese study was apparently stopped early due to declining cases and difficulty of enrolling new participants.
