Development of emodepside as a possible adulticidal treatment for human onchocerciasis-The fruit of a successful industrial-academic collaboration

Jurgen Kruecken et al.

Summary: Current mass drug administration programs for river blindness rely on ivermectin but fail to eliminate adult worms. Emodepside, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic used in veterinary medicine, is considered a promising candidate for the treatment of onchocerciasis. Collaboration between academia and the pharmaceutical industry has led to Phase I clinical trials demonstrating the safety and efficacy of emodepside as an adulticide against the closely related cattle parasite Onchocerca ochengi, with Phase II trials planned for human health benefits.
