Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis | Drug: Albendazole | Phase 2 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To estimate the risk of serious adverse events (SAE) related to intervention in asymptomatic SANCC; these include drug-related side effects, moderate/severe intracranial hypertension, hydrocephalus requiring shunting or endoscopy, stroke, status epilepticus, or unexplained death.
OUTLINE:
Participants will be hospitalized for approximately 15-30 days while they receive treatment with the antiparasitic drug albendazole, as well as additional drugs (dexmathesaone and omeprazole) to address potential treatment complications. Participants will have continuous monitoring for adverse events while in the hospital. After participants are released to home, they will monitored for adverse events for an additional 12 months through home visits, telephone contact, and monthly clinical evaluations with serologic and radiologic assessment.

Official Title ICMJE | An Open-label Non-randomized Phase IIa Trial to Evaluate Safety of Early Intervention in Asymptomatic Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis | ||||||||
Brief Summary | Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis (SANCC) is a severe infection of the brain by the tapeworm Taenia solium. People who have this infection are usually diagnosed late in the disease process leading to very poor prognosis. This trial studies the safety of early medical intervention in people who have SANCC but do not have symptoms. The trial will enroll 18 participants in Peru. | ||||||||
