I have read many studies in the past about Ivermectin.
I don't remember if some were in the format of a scientific paper, but there were conducted many, many studies throughout the world.

I have read one metanalysis study that showed that studies of Ivermectin on COVID showed a positive effect where a certain parasite was found and no positive effect where the parasite was absent. I don't have that one at hand, so I went looking for it, and found this one:

Note the findings: No positive effect, but note the caveat:

All studies had a high risk of bias, and showed a very low certainty of the evidence.

Here's one that showed an overall positive outcome:

Here's one that shows no effect:

Another that showed some benefit, but with repeated caveats that there data quality was poor:
