Summary

This study tests if a drug called oxfendazole can clear brain parasites better than the standard treatment in people with mild brain cysticercosis (one or two lesions). About 544 adults will receive either a single dose, multiple doses, or the usual therapy. The goal is to see if oxfendazole can offer a simpler, more effective cure.
