Median reduction in 
To compare the activity of each treatment regimen on microfilarial load for each respective group, the relative reduction in median microfilarial load (IQR) was computed. The relative reduction from baseline was >90% in the ALB+ALB and the ALB+IVM groups starting from around one-month post-treatment initiation with some small fluctuations during the 6-month follow-up. The ALB group showed a slightly lower relative reduction of about 80% from one-month post-treatment—also observed at the end of the 6-month follow-up period—while there were also considerable inter-individual variations throughout the follow-up period. The control group did not show any clinically significant relative reduction in median microfilarial load throughout the follow-up period. Details are shown in
