简要总结
The primary purpose of this study is to determine a dose of moxidectin for children 4 to 11 years that is equivalent to an 8 mg dose administered for treatment of onchocerciasis in people 12 years and over. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of moxidectin in children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 years.
