Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the the efficacy of different benznidazole regimens (300mg/day for 60 days, 150mg/day for 60 days, and 400mg/day for 15 days) for the treatment of chronic Chagas disease in adult patients. The efficacy is assessed through the proportion of patients with negative parasitaemia measured by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) during the first 12 months after starting treatment. The study will be performed in Spain, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia.
