Common drug tested for stubborn skin disease
NCT ID NCT07286604
Summary
This small, early study tested if the drug ivermectin, taken by mouth, is safe and can help treat Post Kala-Azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL). PKDL is a skin condition that can appear after someone recovers from kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis). The study involved 10 participants in Bangladesh who took ivermectin daily for five days each month, for three months, and were followed for six months to check for side effects and see if their skin lesions improved.
