First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether a single dose of a new drug called emodepside can cure infections from soil-transmitted worms (like whipworm, hookworm, and roundworm) better than the current standard treatment, which requires multiple doses. About 315 adolescents and adults with confirmed whipworm infection will take either one dose of emodepside or three doses of mebendazole. The main goal is to see if emodepside clears the infection completely with just one treatment.
