A Phase 2 interventional study of Emodepside and Albendazole 400mg in Hookworm Infections, sponsored by Jennifer Keiser. Completed at 1 site in Tanzania. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 60 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-06-15.
Sponsored by Jennifer Keiser · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
To compare the efficacy and safety of emodepside to that of albendazole (Zentel®) in participants aged 12-60, inclusive, infected with hookworm.
39 studies on the registry are indexed under Hookworm Infections; 5 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 320 is above the median of 182 across 36 interventional studies indexed under Hookworm Infections.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.
Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Drug: Emodepside
Drug: Albendazole 400mg
Treatment with Emodepside 30 mg
Treatment with Albendazole 400 mg
Cure rate (CR) of emodepside against hookworm
CR will be calculated as the percentage of hookworm egg-positive participants at baseline who become egg-negative after treatment.
Time frame: In the week between 14 and 21 days post-treatment
Geometric Mean Egg Reduction Rate (ERR) of the emodepside against hookworm.
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).
Time frame: In the week between 14 and 21 days post-treatment
CR of emodepside against Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides
CR will be calculated as the percentage of Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides egg-positive participants at baseline who become egg-negative after treatment.
Time frame: In the week between 14 and 21 days post-treatment
ERR of the emodepside against Trichuris trichiura and Ascaris lumbricoides.
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.

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).
Time frame: In the week between 14 and 21 days post-treatment
Infection status and intensity assessed for at baseline and 14-21 days post-treatment by FECPAK-G2.
Time frame: At baseline and 14-21 days post-treatment
