This study checks how well deworming treatment works by testing stool samples from school children in Uganda before and after treatment. It helps see if the infection is reduced or gone.
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 a new medicine, emodepside, to see how well it treats infections with intestinal worms like whipworm, hookworm, and roundworm. It may help people who have not been cured by current treatments.
This study compares two different medicine combinations given to entire communities to treat and prevent lymphatic filariasis (a parasitic infection that causes swelling). The goal is to find a better way to deliver these medicines to reduce the disease in affected areas.
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.
