OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: 0 to 24 hours after treatmentPopulation: Arm B did not receive ivermectin, thus no concentration was measured.
For characterization of population pharmacokinetics (PK) and drug-drug interaction parameters ivermectin, albendazole and its metabolites will be quantified using a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. Drug concentrations will be calculated by interpolation from a calibration curve with a lower limit of quantification of 1-5 ng/ml.

In case of unexpected results for outcome measure 10 (Concentrations of Albendazole and Ivermectin/Albendazole Combination in Adolescents (Aged 12 to 20 Years)), whole genome sequencing will be performed on blood samples from participants in the ivermectin/albendazole arm to analyse genetic variation of relevance for ivermectin metabolism.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: before treatment, i.e. at screening, and 14-21 days after treatmentTaxonomic relative abundances of gut bacterial communities will be analysed with high-throughput sequencing. Absolute abundances of specific taxa will be measured using taxon-specific qPCR. Changes in relative and absolute abundances will be measured before and after treatment.
