First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests whether a single dose of a new drug, emodepside, can cure infections from soil-transmitted worms (like whipworm, hookworm, and roundworm) better than the standard multiple-dose treatment. About 315 teens and adults with confirmed worm infections will receive either one dose of emodepside or several doses of mebendazole. The main goal is to see if emodepside clears whipworm infections more effectively.
