"The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel’s Statement on the Use of Ivermectin for the Treatment of COVID-19", US National Insititutes of Health (14 January 2021)

This is an important development. Up to now, the NIH has been recommending against* the use of ivermectin to treat CoViD-19. Now, their statement suggests that their Guidelines may change to a more neutral position, which may make US physicians feel more at liberty to prescribe the drug for this illness.

(I'm not currently hopeful that this will lead to an enthusiastic adoption of ivermectin in Western health-care systems for CoViD-19, because I believe there are too many vested interests, both financial and political, that wish to downplay its effectiveness, but at least this is some good news. It may save some lives.)
