I hear this a lot to explain the lack of studies. What about this one here though? Isn't this finally a conclusive study debunking all the claims saying Ivermectin alone is a good prevention/treatment for COVID-19?

No, because they didn't <administer some particular dosage>/<administer it at the right times>/<administer it when the moon was in the right phase/when Mercury was in retrograde>.
