Albendazole is quite effective against three of these species, but only moderately effective against a fourth (Trichuris trichiura), and very inefective (as a 400mg monotherapy) for the fifth (Strongyloides stercoralis). Treating with both medicines at once is more effective against all five, and dramatically increases the effectiveness against T trichiura and S Stercoralis. Being able to do so with a single pill, instead of 3, 4 or even more, as is common now, also drastically simplifies logistics of the MDA campaigns. The clinical trial we're supporting was a phase II/III pivotal clinical trial done in Ethiopia, Mozambique and Kenya, and has gathered enough evidence to support sending the medicine to regulatory agencies like the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Ghana FDA. We would also like to imply, though softly, that this medicine could also potentially be used and be of help to treat other NTDs like scabies or lymphatic filariasis. - In case it helps you, please have the + In case it helps you, please have the first draft of the script we have managed to write.
