Summary

This study tested the safety and effectiveness of the drug EGATEN (triclabendazole) in 301 people aged 6 and older with fascioliasis, a parasitic liver infection. Participants received two doses of EGATEN 12 hours apart and were followed for 90 days. The goal was to see if the drug is safe and can cure the infection by clearing symptoms and lab abnormalities.
