Clinical Trial Summary

Cluster-randomised trial comparing co-administration of Azithromycin/Ivermectin/Albendazole with separate administration of Azithromycin and Ivermectin/Albendazole. The study will be conducted in Beneshangul-Gumuz region, Ethiopia. Within this district, a study group of 8,000 people (in approximately 40 clusters) will receive the azithromycin, ivermectin & albendazole at a single time. A control group of 8,000 people (in approximately 40 clusters) within the same district will receive the current MDA treatment schedule beginning with Ivermectin/Albendazole followed two weeks later with azithromycin. All drug dosing will be in line with standard FMOH and WHO Guidelines for MDA for trachoma and lymphatic filariasis. The study will randomly sort subdistrict communities (Gotes) into the trial arm and the control arm. The study will compare the number of adverse events (AEs) and severe adverse events (SAEs) between the two arms to determine if co-administration is not inferior to the standard treatment. The primary outcome will be to demonstrate the safety of the triple-drug administration as measured by incidence of AEs/SAEs following the MDA.
