入选标准
- •Aged 12 years and above.
- •Written informed consent signed by participant and, in the case of minors, parents/caregivers.
- •Agree to comply with study procedures, including provision of two stool samples at the beginning (screening) and at follow-up assessment 14-21 days after treatment.
- •Having at least two slides of the quadruple Kato-Katz thick smears positive for Trichuris incognita and infection intensities of at least 48 eggs per gram (EPG).
- •Willing to be examined by a study physician prior to treatment.
排除标准
- •Presence or signs of major systemic illnesses, e.g. body temperature ≥ 38 °C, severe anemia (Hb below 80g/l) upon initial clinical assessment etc.
- •History of severe acute or unmanaged severe chronic disease (i.e., condition is not as therapeutically controlled as necessary).
- •Positive malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and temperature ≥ 38 °C.
- •Abnormal liver and renal function assessed by biochemical blood-based analyses.
- •Recent use of anthelmintic drugs (in the 4 weeks before treatment).
- •Known allergy to study medications and formulations (i.e. albendazole and emodepside).

干预措施: Emodepside (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Cure rate (CR) of emodepside compared to albendazole against Trichuris incognita
时间窗: Between 14-21 days post-treatment
Trichuris incognita infection status of participants 14-21 days post-treatment assessed by Kato-Katz. CRs will be calculated as the percentage of egg-positive participants at screening who become egg-negative after treatment, for each treatment arm. Differences in CRs between the two treatments will be assessed.
次要结局
- Egg-reduction rate (ERR) of emodepside compared to albendazole against Trichuris incognita(Between 14-21 days post-treatment)
- Safety and tolerability(3- and 24- hours post-treatment and retrospectively 14-21 days post-treatment)
