In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if mass drug administration with moxidectin in combination with diethylcarbamazine, and albendazole (MoxDA) can treat lymphatic filariasis, scabies and strongyloidiasis in children and adults living in communities where these diseases are common. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does MoxDA clear infection in people with lymphatic filariasis ? 2. Does MoxDA cause any medical problems in infected and uninfected people? Researchers will compare MoxDA with ivermectin given together with diethylcarbamazine and albendazole (IDA) to see if it works better to clear infection and does not cause any more medical problems. Participants will: 1. Be tested to see if they are infected with the parasites that cause lymphatic filariasis, scabies and strongyloidiasis 2. Take 3 single doses of MoxDA or IDA, 12 months apart 3. Visit their village
