Combination therapy for soil-transmitted worms in children aged 2-5
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of medicines works better than a single medicine to treat common intestinal worms (like hookworm and roundworm) in young children in Bangladesh. It is for children who are either stunted (shorter than average for their age) or healthy, and who have a confirmed worm infection.
