简要总结

The rational of this study is to provide evidence on the safety and efficacy of a new chewable tablet of mebendazole compared to the standard tablet in preschool- and school-aged children infected with hookworm.

入选标准

  • Male or female children aged between 3 and 12 years;
  • Written informed consent signed by caregiver;
  • Was examined by a study physician before treatment;
  • Provided two stool samples at baseline;
  • Hookworm EPG > 100 and at least two Kato-Katz thick smears slides with more than one hookworm egg;

排除标准

  • Pregnant;
  • Presence or history of major systemic or chronic illnesses, as assessed by a medical doctor, such as can upon initial clinical assessment;
  • Suffers from severe anemia (Hb < 80 g/l);
  • Received anthelminthic treatment or metronidazole within past four weeks.
  • Attending other clinical trials during the study.

研究组 & 干预措施

Chewable tablet of mebendazole

Experimental
  • 3-5 year olds allocated to the swallowable tablet arm will be given the crushed tablet on a spoon mixed with a small amount of clean water;
  • 6-12 year olds allocated to the swallowable tablet arm will be given the whole tablet to swallow with a glass of clean water;

干预措施: Mebendazole (Drug)

Swallowable tablet of mebendazole

Active Comparator
  • 3-5 year olds allocated to the chewable tablet arm will be encouraged to chew the tablet and swallow it without water; if they cannot chew it then a small amount of water will be added to the tablet in a spoon;
  • 6-12 year olds allocated to the chewable tablet arm will be encouraged to chew the tablet and then swallow it without water.

干预措施: Mebendazole (Drug)

结局指标

主要结局

Geometric Mean Egg Reduction Rate (ERR) of the Two Formulations of Mebendazole Against Hookworm

时间窗: Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment

Eggs per gram of stool (EPG) will be assessed by adding up the egg counts from the quadruplicate Kato-Katz thick smears and multiplying this number by a factor of six. The egg reduction rate (ERR) is calculated as follows: ERR = (1-(geometric mean EPG at follow-up/geometric mean EPG at baseline))\*100). Note: in contrast to the publication the "outcome measure" entry mask requires the complementary percentage: (geometric mean at follow-up/geometric mean at baseline)\*100).

次要结局

  • Cure Rate (CR) of Mebendazole Against Hookworm(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • CR of Both Mebendazole Regimens Against Trichuris Trichiura(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • Geometric ERR of Both Mebendazole Formulations Against Trichuris Trichiura(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • CR of Both Mebendazole Formulations Against Ascaris Lumbricoides(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • Geometric ERR of Both Mebendazole Formulations Against Ascaris Lumbricoides.(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • Arithmetic ERR of the Two Formulations of Mebendazole Against Hookworm(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • Arithmetic ERR of Both Mebendazole Formulations Against Trichuris Trichiura(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
  • Arithmetic ERR of Both Mebendazole Formulations Against Ascaris Lumbricoides(Baseline (before treatment) and sometime between 14 and 21 days post-treatment)
