The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of three commonly used antiparasitic drugs-albendazole, tribendimidine, and praziquantel-for the treatment of clonorchiasis, a liver fluke infection acquired by consuming raw or undercooked freshwater fish.
This study aims to answer the following primary questions:
How effective is each drug in achieving parasitological cure, as measured by clearance of Clonorchis sinensis eggs in stool? What types and frequencies of adverse events are associated with each treatment?
Participants in this randomized, open-label trial will:
Be randomly assigned to receive one of the three study drugs according to a predefined dosing regimen.
Provide stool samples before treatment and at follow-up to assess for Clonorchis sinensis eggs.
Undergo a second round of the same treatment regimen and repeated stool examination if eggs are still detected after the first course.
Attend follow-up visits, which include symptom assessment, blood tests (hematology and liver function), and abdominal ultrasonography focusing on hepatobiliary changes.
Report any side effects, discomfort, or adverse reactions experienced during or after treatment.
The findings from this study will help inform optimal therapeutic strategies for clonorchiasis in outpatient clinical settings.

Assessing Safety and Efficacy of Ivermectin and Albendazole Combination Therapy for Soil-transmitted Helminthiasis in Pre-school-aged Children (PSAC) in Bangladesh

Background (brief):
1. Burden:
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are a major public health problem, primarily affecting children. Although STH prevalence has decreased to 14% in Bangladesh, over 47 million preschool- and school-age children still live in high-risk areas.
2. Knowledge gap:
Albendazole shows 94-100% efficacy against A. lumbricoides but only 39-60% against T. trichuria. Ivermectin is also effective against hookworm and T. trichuria. Combining ivermectin with albendazole may be more effective than using either drug alone, but this combined therapy for STH has not yet been studied in Bangladesh.
3. Relevance:
STHs significantly impact children's nutrition, hindering health, growth, cognition, and learning. The national deworming program achieved 98.3% treatment coverage, but only 76.2% of PSAC were dewormed using self-prescribed medicines.
Hypothesis (if any):
The combination therapy of Albendazole and Ivermectin is more effective than Albendazole alone for treating soil-transmitted helminths in preschool-age children in Bangladesh
Objectives:
1. To compare the safety and efficacy of Albendazole and Ivermectin combination therapy with Albendazole monotherapy in preschool-aged children
2. To evaluate post-treatment egg reduction rates for various helminths at different time points
3. To determine the median time to re-infection following different anti-helminth interventions for various STH
Methods:
This Phase IIa single-blinded, randomized controlled trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of ivermectin and albendazole combination therapy versus standard albendazole monotherapy for STH in 2-5 years in rural Belkuchi, Sirajganj. A total of 110 PSAC with confirmed STH will be randomly assigned to two treatment arms. Field activities and laboratory analysis will use the Kato-Katz technique for microscopic examination.
Outcome measures/variables:
* Evaluate the safety and efficacy of ivermectin and albendazole combination therapy for STH
* Evaluate the statistically significant impact on patient clinical outcomes, cure rate, and egg reduction rate
* Correlate changes in Cure Rate and Egg Reduction Rate for different STH at various time points

"Diagnostic challenges, atypical presentations, and therapeutic implications in ectopic Enterobius vermicularis infections: a global systematic review."

Review

Author: Ghasemikhah, Reza ; Roodbarani, Sadaf

BACKGROUND:

Enterobius vermicularis is recognized as the second most common human nematode, primarily inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract and mostly affecting children. However, ectopic infections (where the parasite migrates to the extra intestinal sites) although rare, have been increasingly reported and pose diagnostic challenges due to atypical clinical presentations.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A systematic review following PRISMA guideline was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for relevant articles published from 1972 to July 2025. Forty articles reporting 49 patients from 26 countries met the inclusion criteria. Data on demographics, sites involved, symptoms, diagnostic method, and treatment were extracted and analyzed descriptively.

RESULT:

The female reproductive system (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries) was the most frequently affected site (44.9 %), followed by abdominal and pelvic cavities. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom, accompanied by gastrointestinal complaints, vaginal bleeding, and urinary symptoms. Definitive diagnosis was mostly achieved via histopathological examination post-surgery, as non-invasive diagnostic tools demonstrated limited sensitivity. Treatment predominately involved anthelmintic medications such as mebendazole or albendazole; however, advanced cases often required surgical interventions, including hysterectomy, salpingectomy, oophorectomy, or appendectomy. Three fatalities were reported despite treatment.

CONCLUSION:

Ectopic E. vermicularis infection can affect diverse organs and present with non-specific symptoms, frequently causing delays in diagnosis and unnecessary invasive procedures. Increased awareness among clinicians, alongside the use of adjunct non-invasive and molecular diagnostic methods, is crucial for early detection, complication prevention, and minimizing surgical interventions.

Design, synthesis, and anticancer evaluation of benzimidazole and benzothiazole derivatives targeting Hsp70 and FoxM1

Article

Author: Alimardan, Zahra ; Kashfi, Khosrow ; Khodarahmi, Ghadamali ; Abbasi, Maryam

A series of novel benzimidazole and benzothiazole derivatives was designed based on the scaffolds of known Hsp70 (VER-155008) and FoxM1 (FDI-6) inhibitors. Molecular docking studies indicated favorable binding affinities to both targets, with several compounds showing strong interactions within the ATPase domain of Hsp70 and the DNA-binding region of FoxM1. The most promising candidates, as identified by docking scores, were synthesized and structurally confirmed using FT-IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Their cytotoxicity was evaluated against MCF-7, HeLa, and HUVEC cell lines using the MTT assay. Benzothiazole derivatives exhibited greater cytotoxic activity than benzimidazole counterparts. Among them, compound 7d demonstrated the most potent antiproliferative effect, with IC₅₀ values of 10.83 μM (MCF-7), 12.68 μM (HeLa), and 106.75 μM (HUVEC). Molecular dynamics simulations further confirmed the stability of 7d within the FoxM1 binding pocket, supporting its role as a potential FoxM1 inhibitor. While experimental confirmation of dual-target inhibition in cell-based assays is pending, the computational findings suggest that 7d may function as a dual modulator of Hsp70 and FoxM1, warranting further mechanistic investigation.

Fenbendazole–amino acid derivatives as novel anthelmintic candidates: Synthesis, activity against Haemonchus contortus, and in silico profiling

Article

We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of fifteen fenbendazole-amino acid derivatives from a δ-valerolactam-based scaffold. These compounds were designed to enhance anthelmintic efficacy while reducing mammalian cytotoxicity. Their activity was assessed against Haemonchus contortus at both the exsheathed third-stage larval (xL3) and adult stages. Several derivatives showed early anthelmintic activity (24 h) and low cytotoxicity towards murine macrophages. In silico analysis indicated a correlation between MLOGP-TPSA profiles and biological performance, suggesting improved cuticular diffusion. Compared with albendazole and fenbendazole, active compounds exhibited lower toxicity and occupied distinct regions in the physicochemical property space. These results support the potential of these new compounds as selective scaffolds for developing next-generation anthelmintics.

Merck Commemorates 5 Billion Mectizan® Treatments Donated Over 38 Years

November 17, 2025 6:45 am EST Extension of Mectizan Donation for Triple Therapy Advances Fight Against Lymphatic Filariasis Through 2030 RAHWAY, N.J., November 17, 2025 – Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, is extending the donation of up to 100 million ivermectin treatments annually through 2030, reinforcing its longstanding commitment to the global elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) through the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended triple drug therapy strategy. This renewed pledge is driven by the strong progress reported by the WHO, including the milestone achievement of Timor-Leste becoming the first country in 2024 to eliminate LF using this approach. “By extending our commitment, we aim to ensure that national LF elimination programs in endemic countries continue to have reliable access to the treatments needed to protect vulnerable populations and strengthen health systems,” said Robert M. Davis, chairman and chief executive officer, Merck. “This work is essential to achieving the WHO’s Neglected Tropical Disease Road Map, which targets global elimination by 2030.” Merck’s donation supports the co-administration of ivermectin (Mectizan), diethylcarbamazine and albendazole — commonly referred to as “triple therapy” — in countries where onchocerciasis (river blindness) is not co-endemic. LF, also known as elephantiasis, is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease that severely damages the lymphatic system. It can lead to extreme swelling of the limbs and genitals, resulting in lifelong disability, pain and social stigma. “WHO is deeply grateful to Merck for its generosity and solidarity with communities affected by LF," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “In a time of declining resources for global health, in-kind commitments and public-private partnerships are more important than ever. These partnerships have brought us so far in the fight against LF and are the foundation for eliminating many neglected tropical diseases. Together, we can finish the job.” Merck first pledged in 1987 to provide Mectizan for the treatment of river blindness, a leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide, transmitted through the bite of black flies that breed near fast-flowing streams and rivers, for as much as needed, as long as needed. The Mectizan Donation Program was established that same year as an independent body to oversee Merck’s donation. In 1998, the program expanded to support LF elimination in African countries and Yemen, where LF and river blindness are co-endemic. In 2017, Merck further strengthened its support by adding up to 100 million additional treatments annually through 2025 to accelerate LF elimination with triple therapy. Research shows that the use of triple therapy reduces the parasites in the blood significantly longer than two-drug regimens, requiring fewer number of treatment rounds needed to interrupt LF transmission. The new five-year extension builds on demonstrated success in countries implementing triple therapy to eliminate LF. Once endemic in 72 countries, LF has now been eliminated as a public health threat in 21 countries across five WHO regions, with the disease remaining endemic and requiring mass treatment in just 39 countries. To date, Merck has donated more than 5 billion Mectizan treatments to 62 countries, resulting in the successful elimination of river blindness or LF in nine countries by incorporating Mectizan into national public health strategies. In addition, more than 340 million people no longer require treatment in subnational regions of several African countries as disease transmission is believed to have been eliminated. About the Mectizan® Donation Program The Mectizan Donation Program (MDP) was established at the Task Force for Global Health in 1987 to provide medical, technical and administrative oversight of the donation of MECTIZAN® by Merck for the treatment of onchocerciasis. In 1998, the MDP expanded its mandate to include coordination of the donation of albendazole by GSK to be distributed in conjunction with Mectizan for the elimination of lymphatic filariasis in onchocerciasis co-endemic areas. In 2017 the mandate was further extended to oversee the donation of Mectizan for IDA in eligible countries.

Artelo Biosciences Announces Positive Interim Phase 2 CAReS Results for the Treatment of Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome (CACS)

Catalyst for Advancing Discussions with Pharmaceutical Companies that have Expressed Interest in ART27.13 for CACS Consistent Improvements in Weight Gain, Lean Body Mass, and Activity were Observed Across Treated Patients including +6.4% Mean Weight Gain at 12 Weeks vs −5.4% Mean Weight Loss on Placebo Safety Results Showed ART27.13 was Well Tolerated Sept. 03, 2025 -- Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTL), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on modulating lipid-signaling pathways to develop treatments for people living with cancer, pain, dermatologic, or neurological conditions, today announced highly encouraging interim results from its Phase 2 Cancer Appetite Recovery Study (CAReS) trial with ART27.13, the Company’s peripherally acting cannabinoid receptor agonist for the treatment of cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS). Affecting up to 80% of people living with cancer, CACS is marked by loss of appetite, weight loss, and breakdown of muscle and fat. This leading cause of death in cancer patients has no FDA-approved treatment. The CAReS interim data comparing ART27.13 to placebo supports acceleration of the Company’s partnering initiatives with its lead clinical program. Weight Gain: Patients escalated to the 1300 microgram dose achieved a +6.38% mean weight gain after 12 weeks, compared to a -5.42% average loss on placebo. The maximum gain observed was +18.5% on ART27.13 versus only +0.4% on placebo. Lean Body Mass: At one month, patients treated with ART27.13 experienced a +4.23% increase in lean body mass, while placebo patients lost -3.15%. Activity: Patients receiving treatment showed improvements in activity scores and in moderate and vigorous activity, the latter being an endpoint that may be required by regulators for drug approval. Safety: ART27.13 was well tolerated. The most common adverse events were mild or moderate. No new safety signals were observed and interim safety results were consistent with Phase 1 of CAReS. Barry Laird, Professor of Palliative Medicine, Oslo University Hospital - Radium Hospital and University of Oslo, Norway, and Chief Investigator in CAReS said, "The findings from the CAReS Phase 2 interim analysis build on the strong safety profile and signal from the Phase 1 trial and provide encouraging data supporting efficacy of ART27.13 on weight and physical activity in patients with advanced cancer.” The Phase 2 CAReS study is evaluating ART27.13 as a once-daily oral treatment aimed at improving weight, appetite, activity, and quality of life in cancer patients who had lost a minimum of 5% of their body weight in the prior six months. Effectiveness was measured by changes in lean body mass, weight, appetite, and activity over 12 weeks and at a 30-day follow-up. Activity and quality of life were assessed using wearable monitors and standardized questionnaires, while safety was closely tracked through adverse event reporting, laboratory tests, vital signs, visual analogue scales, and ECGs. In the interim analysis, 18 evaluable patients—primarily with lung and gastrointestinal cancers not receiving cyclic chemotherapy—were included. After 12 weeks of treatment in patients who titrated to the top dose evaluated of 1300 micrograms (n=5), ART27.13 demonstrated compelling increases in mean body weight of 6.38% (Standard Deviation or SD 9.50) compared to patients on placebo (n=6) who lost -5.42% (SD 8.17). The maximum weight gain in the ART27.13 group reached 18.5%, versus only 0.4% in placebo. The maximum weight loss in the placebo arm was -17.4%, compared to just -3.0% in the ART27.13 group. Additional benefits were seen in lean body mass, with a +4.23% increase (SD 5.37) in the treatment group versus a -3.15% loss (SD 4.89) in placebo at one month, as well as qualitative improvements in total and weekly activity scores. Safety results were consistent with prior findings. Among the 32 participants enrolled in the CAReS Phase 2 trial to date, 7 patients (22%) experienced adverse events that may be related to ART27.13. All were mild or moderate, with the exception of a single case of severe malaise, and no drug-related serious adverse events were reported. These data are aligned with safety outcomes observed in Phase 1 of CAReS, supporting ART27.13’s overall favorable tolerability and acceptable safety profile. “These data represent a reassuring and convincing drug effect for the highest dose of ART27.13 tested,” stated Steven Reich, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Artelo. “For patients facing the devastating effects of cancer anorexia and cachexia, we believe these findings are particularly promising, especially for the Phase 2 protocol patients that had intra-patient dose-escalation. With these interim results, we are evaluating plans to advance the ART27.13 program by starting patients at the highest dose, which has the greatest treatment effect and acceptable safety.” Gregory D. Gorgas, President and CEO of Artelo, commented, “Based on the strength of this data and the recently announced Notice of Allowance for the patent application covering our intended commercial formulation through 2041, we are rapidly accelerating our licensing strategy as the most value-accretive path forward. We are in the process of sharing these results with global and regional pharmaceutical companies already familiar with ART27.13 who were awaiting this randomized data from the CAReS trial. Through this targeted effort we aim to speed development and maximize value for our shareholders.” ART27.13 is a novel benzimidazole derivative being developed as a once-daily, orally administered agent selectively targeting peripheral CB1 and CB2 receptors, with the potential to improve body weight, appetite, muscle degeneration, and quality of life in cancer patients. Initially developed by AstraZeneca plc, ART27.13 has been in seven clinical studies with over 280 participants. A statistically significant and dose-dependent increase in body weight was observed in people with back pain who were otherwise healthy. Importantly, the drug enables systemic metabolic effects while minimizing central nervous system-mediated toxicity. Having completed a Phase 1 study in cancer patients where ART27.13 demonstrated an excellent safety profile, Artelo is conducting a Phase 2 trial as a supportive care therapy for cancer patients suffering from anorexia and weight loss. Currently, there is no FDA approved treatment for cancer anorexia cachexia syndrome. The Cancer Appetite Recovery Study (CAReS) is a Phase 1/2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the Company’s lead clinical program, ART27.13, in patients with cancer anorexia and weight loss. Cancer-related anorexia, or the lack or loss of appetite in the person with cancer, may result from the cancer and/or its treatment with radiation or chemotherapy. It is common for people with cancer to lose weight. Anorexia and the resulting weight loss can affect a patient’s health, often weakening their immune system and causing discomfort and dehydration. A weight loss of more than 5% can predict a poor outcome for cancer patients and a lower response to chemotherapy. The Phase 1 portion of the CAReS study was designed to determine the most effective and safest initial dose of ART27.13 in the Phase 2 stage. The Phase 2 portion of the CAReS study is designed to determine estimates of activity of ART27.13 in terms of lean body mass, weight gain, and improvement of anorexia compared to placebo. Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome (CACS) is a condition marked by loss of appetite, weight loss, and the breakdown of muscle and fat, affecting up to 80% of patients with advanced cancer- representing a greater than $3 billion addressable market. This loss of appetite, known as anorexia, may result from the cancer itself or from treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy. The resulting weight loss can weaken the immune system, cause discomfort and dehydration, and lower a patient’s ability to tolerate treatment. Losing more than 5% of body weight is associated with poorer outcomes and reduced response to chemotherapy. While drugs that stimulate appetite have been used to help manage cancer-related anorexia, there are currently no approved treatments in the US, UK, or EU for this condition. Artelo Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics that modulate lipid-signaling pathways, with a diversified pipeline addressing significant unmet needs in anorexia, cancer, anxiety, dermatologic conditions, pain, and inflammation. Complementing its scientific innovation, Artelo has adopted a forward-looking corporate finance initiative whereby it is deploying a portion of its excess capital into Solana under its digital asset treasury strategy. Led by an experienced executive team collaborating with world-class researchers and digital-asset technology partners, Artelo applies rigorous scientific, regulatory, commercial, and treasury management practices to maximize stakeholder value.

196 Drug Samples Fail CDSCO Quality Test; One Deca-Durabolin Sample Flagged as Spurious

New Delhi: Drug regulators, during their monthly quality review, have identified around 196 drug samples as “ Not of Standard Quality ” (NSQ) and one sample as “spurious.” The drug alert issued by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization ( CDSCO ) states that out of the 196 NSQ samples, 60 were identified by central drug laboratories, while the remaining 136 were flagged by state laboratories. In addition, one drug sample identified as spurious is a “ Nandrolone Decanoate Injection,” marketed as Deca-Durabolin —an anabolic steroid used for various medical conditions, including osteoporosis and anemia. According to a note from the Union Health Ministry , the spurious sample was picked from Bihar and “is manufactured by an unauthorized manufacturer using the brand name owned by another company.” In its alert, the CDSCO specified that the tested sample failed due to issues with the “Identification and Assay of Nandrolone Decanoate .” In India, “Deca-Durabolin 50 mg” is marketed by Ahmedabad-based Zydus Healthcare, following its acquisition of the brand from MSD (Merck Sharp & Dohme) in December 2016. The matter is currently under investigation, and the purported spurious drug is subject to the outcome of the inquiry. A drug is deemed spurious if it resembles another drug in a manner likely to deceive, or if it bears upon its label or container the name of another drug—among several other conditions detailed under Section 17-B of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. Among the 60 NSQ samples flagged by central laboratories are Nimesulide and Paracetamol tablets manufactured by Pro-Pharma Care; Cefpodoxime Proxetil tablets by Sunvij Drugs; Ciprofloxacin tablets by Cadila Pharmaceuticals; and 57 other samples. The 136 NSQ samples identified by state laboratories include Glimepiride 1 mg and Metformin HCl 500 mg tablets manufactured by Surge Pharmaceuticals; Albendazole tablets by Samkem; and Oxfendazole and Ivermectin Bolus by Argon Remedies, among 133 other samples. The identification of drug samples as NSQ is based on the failure of the sample to meet one or more specified quality parameters. The term NSQ is defined under Section 16(1)(a) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. However, according to the Health Ministry, “the failure is specific to the drug products of the batch tested by the Government Laboratory and does not warrant concerns about other drug products available in the market.” The ministry added that the identification of NSQ and spurious medicines is undertaken regularly (monthly), in collaboration with state regulators, to ensure such drugs are detected and removed from the market.
