Active clinical trials for "Malaria"

Patients with non-falciparum infection will be given artemether-lumefantrine for three days and will be followed up for 28 days. Besides efficacy and safety evaluations a substudy on immunology will be performed.

A randomized, controlled clinical trial conducted in Southeastern Bangladesh using artesunate monotherapy to determine the baseline sensitivity of P. falciparum to artemisinins.

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine tablets (6-dose regimen) in African infants / children with acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria.

This study is to assess the value of incorporating a malaria RDT based strategy in HMM. The primary activity of the study wil be a two armed cluster randomised trial in two study sites in Uganda, one in Ghana and one in Burkina Faso. One of the Uganda sites is highly endemic and the other meso-endemic for malaria. In one arm the children will be treated presumptively for malaria with ACT (control arm) and the other arm the children will receive ACT only when they have a positive RDT result (implementation arm). The children in the implementation arm will also receive antibiotics if they have a raised respiratory rate. The primary outcome will be the recovery rate in the intervention arm compared to that of the control arm on Day 3. In addition, an acceptability assessment of RDTs in the community will be undertaken both before and after the intervention trial and a cost-effectiveness analysis of the RDT strategy will also be completed. For a sub-sample, microscopy slides will also be taken on Day 0 to demonstrate comparable levels of endemicity in control and intervention groups. These activities will be carried out over a two year period.

A) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria during second and third trimester pregnancy to oral Quinine hydrochloride. The PCR-corrected adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) on day 42 is considered as the primary efficacy criterion. Newborns will be followed for growth and development indicators.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of weekly iron supplementation and the efficacy of malaria chemoprophylaxis from 2 to 12 months of age in infants living in an area of intense and perennial malaria transmission

Drug resistance to a range of antimalarial treatments has become widespread in Africa, South East Asia and South America. Because the rapid spread of drug resistance threatens a public health disaster in these areas of the world and to comply with the WHO-Roll Back Malaria policy of using Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT), there is a need to develop new, safe, effective and affordable ACT. Chlorproguanil-dapsone-artesunate (CDA)is a new ACT that is being developed for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Africa.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy in children aged 6 - 59 months with uncomplicated malaria, treated with either conventional artemether/lumefantrine tablets(Coartem®) or artemether/ lumefantrine suspension (Co-artesiane®) in Western Kenya

The purpose of the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy profile of a new paediatric MB formulation combined with AQ or AS and compared to AS-AQ in young African children with uncomplicated falciparum malaria.

The primary objective is to assess the safety of different doses of ferroquine with artesunate (AS) in adult African patients with uncomplicated malaria. The secondary objectives are to assess activity in reducing parasitemia and the pharmacokinetics of ferroquine and its metabolites.
