Journal ArticleDOI

Preventive Chemotherapy in the Fight against Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis: Achievements and Limitations.

Jessica D. Schulz, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: An overview of the burden of STH infections, the evolution of PC along with its success and challenges, recent estimates of the efficacy of recommended drugs, and alternative treatment options are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and Safety of Ivermectin Against Trichuris trichiura in Preschool-aged and School-aged Children: A Randomized Controlled Dose-finding Trial

David Wimmersberger, +13 more
- 28 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: Ivermectin can be administered safely to PSAC with trichuriasis and the low efficacy of ivermECTin monotherapy against T. trichiura infection is found to be unacceptable, and further research should investigate the optimal drug combinations and dosages with iver mectin against soil-transmitted helminthiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetics of ascending doses of ivermectin in Trichuris trichiura-infected children aged 2-12 years.

Jessica D. Schulz, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: Ivermectin shows a lower exposure profile in children compared with adults, highlighting the need to establish dosing recommendations for different age groups and undernutrition might influence the AUC of ivermECTin in PSAC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a novel micro-sampling device, Mitra™, in comparison to dried blood spots, for analysis of praziquantel in Schistosoma haematobium-infected children in rural Côte d'Ivoire.

Jana Kovač, +12 more

TL;DR: Mitra™ revealed higher concentrations of all the analytes in the majority of patients' samples compared to DBS sampling, which offers an alternative to the dried blood spotting technique, a current popular sampling technique within PK studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacokinetics of Albendazole, Albendazole Sulfoxide, and Albendazole Sulfone Determined from Plasma, Blood, Dried-Blood Spots, and Mitra Samples of Hookworm-Infected Adolescents.

TL;DR: Time-concentration profiles and PK results of the four matrices were similar, and the direct comparison of the two microsampling devices indicates that Mitra extraction was more robust during validation and can be recommended for future albendazole PK studies.
