- Clinical TherapeuticsPharmacometric Analysis of Tribendimidine Monotherapy and Combination Therapies To Achieve High Cure Rates in Patients with Hookworm Infections
In the treatment of hookworm infections, pharmacotherapy has been only moderately successful and drug resistance is a threat. Therefore, novel treatment options including combination therapies should be considered, in which tribendimidine could play a role. Our aims were to (i) characterize the pharmacokinetics of tribendimidine’s metabolites in adolescents receiving tribendimidine monotherapy or in combination with ivermectin or...
- Clinical TherapeuticsPopulation Pharmacokinetics and Exposure-Response Analysis of Tribendimidine To Improve Treatment for Children with Hookworm Infection
Tribendimidine has been successful in treating hookworm infections and may serve as an alternative to albendazole should resistance arise. Our aims were to (i) characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of tribendimidine’s primary metabolite, deacetylated amidantel (dADT), and secondary metabolite, acetylated derivative of amidantel (adADT), in school-aged children and adolescents, (ii) link exposure to efficacy against hookworm, and (iii)...
- Clinical TherapeuticsPooled Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Tribendimidine for the Treatment of Opisthorchis viverrini Infections
Opisthorchiasis, caused by the foodborne trematode Opisthorchis viverrini, affects more than 8 million people in Southeast Asia. In the framework of a phase 2b clinical trial conducted in Lao People’s Democratic Republic, pharmacokinetic samples were obtained from 125 adult and adolescent O. viverrini...
- Experimental TherapeuticsIn Vitro and In Vivo Drug-Drug Interaction Study of the Effects of Ivermectin and Oxantel Pamoate on Tribendimidine
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections still remain a major health problem in poor rural settings. The lack of efficacious drugs against all STH species raises interest in drug combinations.
