Test higher doses of oxfendazole against single-dose albendazole
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies which dose of oxfendazole works best and is safest for treating a specific intestinal worm infection in adults. It compares different oxfendazole doses to one standard dose of albendazole, and uses stool and blood testing over about 4–6 weeks.
