This study tests a new medicine called emodepside to treat infections caused by intestinal worms like whipworm, hookworm, and roundworm. It may help people who have not been cured by standard treatments.
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 two different 3-drug combinations to treat lymphatic filariasis (a parasitic infection that can cause swelling and discomfort). If you live in a participating village, you will get one of these treatments and be monitored for how well it works.
This Phase 1 trial tests how safe and tolerated orally taken Trichuris trichiura (a type of intestinal worm) eggs are in healthy adults. It aims to help researchers understand early safety and study setup before any future treatments.
This early-phase study tests whether deliberately infecting you with hookworm larvae placed on the skin is safe and how your body responds. It may help researchers understand treatments for hookworm-related conditions, but it involves being intentionally infected.
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.
