Treating clonorchiasis with three different drugs
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study compares three medicines (albendazole, tribendimidine, and praziquantel) to see which works best for treating clonorchiasis (a liver fluke infection). If you have been diagnosed with this infection, this trial may help find the most effective treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with clonorchiasis (a liver fluke infection) through a stool or bile test.
- You are not allergic to albendazole, praziquantel, or tribendimidine.
- You do not have certain heart rhythm problems (supraventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation).

This trial tests whether a combination of two medicines (praziquantel and albendazole) works better than one medicine (albendazole alone) for treating a parasitic brain infection that causes seizures. Participants will be hospitalized for up to 20 days and followed for one year to see how well the infection clears and if symptoms improve.
This study tests whether one or two doses of oxfendazole (a newer drug) works as well as the standard two-dose triclabendazole treatment for chronic fascioliasis (liver fluke infection). It may offer a simpler treatment option.
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.
This study tests if higher doses of arpraziquantel can safely treat children infected with the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini. It aims to find the best dose that clears the infection.
This trial tests two different schedules of the drug praziquantel to see which works better for treating liver scarring caused by a parasitic infection called schistosomiasis. It aims to improve liver health and prevent complications.
This trial tests if a medicine called levamisole can safely reduce the number of loiasis (eye worm) parasites in your blood. You would take the medicine for 3 to 5 days and be monitored.
