The clinical trial will have two arms, randomized by school. One arm will receive a single dose of the fixed-dose coformulation tablet (alb 400mg/ivm 9mg for children between 5 and 14 years old, alb 400mg/ivm 18mg for 15-17s), while the other, acting as an active control group, will receive a single dose of albendazole 400mg.
