TOCSINS Trial : Testing an oral treatment for snakebites in the Amazon
TOCSINS (Trial of Oral Combination Therapies for Snakebite Envenoming) is a groundbreaking clinical trial led by the Centre for Snakebite Research and Interventions (CSRI) at LSTM. The project aims to develop and test oral medications that can be easily administered in the field, providing immediate, accessible treatment for snakebite victims. By repurposing existing drugs that inhibit snake venom toxins, TOCSINS seeks to offer a practical solution to a pressing global health issue.
