Clinical cure was defined as no parasite egg in the urine samples at follow up as determined by the urine filtration technique. Number of participants with clinical cure were reported.

Percentage of reduction in group mean egg count was calculated as relative difference between the post-treatment arithmetic mean egg count and pre-treatment arithmetic mean egg count at baseline count, (pre-treatment mean egg count minus post-treatment mean egg count divided by pre-treatment mean egg count) *100. Egg counts were determined by the Kato-Katz method.

Egg counts were determined by the urine filtration technique.

Clinical cure is defined as absence of test line in the POC-CCA test cassette (that is no Schistosoma antigens detected). Number of participants with clinical cure were reported.

Adverse Event (AE) was defined any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a study drug, which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE was defined AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs: TEAEs were defined as those events with onset dates/time occurring after study intervention administration or events that worsen after study intervention administration. TEAEs included serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. Treatment-related TEAEs: reasonably related to the study intervention.

Severity of TEAEs were graded using Qualitative Toxicity Scale, as follows: Mild: Participant is aware of the event or symptom, but the event or symptom is easily tolerated; Moderate: Participant experiences sufficient discomfort to interfere with or reduce his or her usual level of activity; Severe: Significant impairment of functioning: the participant is unable to carry out his or her usual activities. Number of participants with TEAEs by severity were reported.

Diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were measured after at least 5 minutes of rest for the participant in a quiet sitting without distractions. Change from baseline in vital signs: diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure at Week 3 were reported.

Pulse rate was measured after at least 5 minutes of rest for the participant in a quiet sitting without distractions. Change from baseline in vital sign: pulse rate at Week 3 was reported.

Respiratory rate was measured after at least 5 minutes of rest for the participant in a quiet sitting without distractions. Change from baseline in vital sign: respiratory rate at Week 3 was reported.

Reaction to study intervention administration were recorded to describe tolerability as assessed by nurse/site staff for all children enrolled in the study. Reactions categorized as spitting, crying, diarrheas, sleepiness, abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and other. Number of participants with reaction to study intervention administration reported.

Palatability of the study intervention was assessed using a human gustatory sensation test (100-millimeter [mm] visual analog scale [VAS]) incorporating a facial hedonic scale, where lower score (0) indicates "not acceptable/not liked at all" and higher score (100) indicates "very acceptable/liked very much".

Cmax was obtained directly from the plasma concentration versus time curve.

Tmax was obtained directly from the plasma concentration versus time curve.

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last sampling time t at which the concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). AUC0-t was calculated according to the mixed log-linear trapezoidal rule.
