Summary
This study was designed to see if it is safe to stop yearly mass antibiotic treatments in communities where trachoma is now rare. Researchers planned to compare communities that stop treatment with those that continue for three more years. The goal was to find out if stopping leads to a return of the infection in children. The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
