One and Two Doses of Oxfendazole Versus a Schedule of Two Doses of Triclabendazole in Chronic Fascioliasis
336 participantsStarted 2026-08-15
Plain-language summary
Randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of oxfendazole at 20 mg/kg per dose in one and two dose regimens with a two-dose regimen of triclabendazole at 10 mg/kg in an endemic region of the highlands of Peru. Adults with fascioliasis in rural communities will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria and a total of 336 subjects (112 per study arm) with chronic Fasciola infection will be enrolled and assigned randomly to the study arms in a 1:1:1 ratio. The primary efficacy (cure and egg reduction) endpoints will be assessed on day 7 and 30 post treatment. The secondary safety endpoint visits will be performed in days 0, 3, 7 and 30 post-treatment and Population Pharmacokinetics (PK) modeling studies will be performed in the first 24 hours after the first dose of oxfendazole.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
