This research is being done to learn about the safety in humans of a medicine that is already
used in cows and pigs to treat worms. The medicine may be useful for people who have these or
other worms. The medicine will be studied first in healthy people, who will be given a very
small amount of the medicine once. If the smallest amount of medicine is found to be safe, a
slightly higher amount will be given to a new group of volunteers. The highest amount that
will be tested is similar to the amount given to animals. If the medicine can be given safely
to healthy people in the planned amounts, a later study will be done in people who have worms
to see if the medicine kills the worms.
