Study Description

This is a multicenter, open label, non-comparative, single arm multi-country study in
approximately 300 adult and pediatric subjects (≥ 6 years of age) with fascioliasis. The
study population consists of male and female adult and pediatric patients (≥ 6 years of
age). The study will enroll approximately 300 subjects with acute (minimum 15% of overall
study population) or chronic fascioliasis. Enrolled subjects will receive two doses of 10
mg/kg of Egaten given approximately 12 hours apart. Subjects will be treated and followed
up on an outpatient basis. After screening and post treatment, at Day 3 and Day 6 the
subjects will be followed for safety and tolerability. These visits are primarily for
safety follow up and may be telephonic or home visit by qualified personnel or onsite
visits based on the investigator's discretion. During visits Day 10, Day 30, Day 60 and
Day 90 post-treatment, the subjects will be followed for safety, tolerability and
efficacy. On Day 15, Day 45 and Day 75, telephonic follow-up (primarily for safety) will
be conducted.
