Pharmacokinetic, Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability Study of a Single Dose of Acoziborole in g-HAT...

TrypanosomiasisAfrican2 more

Acoziborole has been studied in an open-label pivotal Phase II/III trial (DNDi-OXA-02-HAT) in the DRC and Guinea. As the numbers of reported cases diminish, resources for surveillance and specialised screening will also taper. This decrease, coupled with the loss of diagnostic skills and disease management expertise, will lead to a weak and less specialised HAT technical environment. The history of g-HAT has shown that outbreaks or re-emergence of the disease have already happened under different circumstances when surveillance was relaxed or simply because the populations at risk live in areas of political instability, limiting access to specialised care. Even with a steady decrease of reported incidence, no model can currently predict that HAT could not re-emerge. Although g-HAT is predominantly a disease of adults, children are also affected at diverse rates depending on the geographical and behavioural characteristics in the different areas of disease transmission. Hence efforts are needed to develop a paediatric formulation from a new generation of oral HAT treatments.

Randomized Clinical Trial of Three Drug Combinations for Late-Stage Gambiense Human African Trypanosomiasis...

TrypanosomiasisAfrican

The treatment human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in the meningoencephalitic phase relies on two molecules officially registered: melarsoprol, the most commonly used, has a poor safety profile and is becoming ineffective due to parasite resistance; and eflornithine, with better tolerance but more complicated and expensive to implement in endemic countries. nifurtimox, registered only for Chagas' disease but used off-label since the 1970's in series of cases of HAT, is at present the only other available alternative. The very limited number of compounds available, the lack of prospects for the development of new products and the emergence of resistance are arguments for the use of therapeutic combinations. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of three drug combination therapies: melarsoprol-nifurtimox, melarsoprol-eflornithine and eflornithine-nifurtimox.

Human African Trypanosomiasis

Multicenter, open label, uncontrolled phase IIIb study of therapeutic use of the combination of nifurtimox and eflornithine (NECT) for the treatment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in the meningo-encephalitic phase. Overall objectives: Assess the clinical tolerability, feasibility and effectiveness of NECT co-administration to treat patients with T.b. gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in the meningo-encephalitic phase in actual real-life conditions (regular treatment centers of the National HAT Control Programme, NGO treatment centers). Primary objective: Assess the clinical response of the NECT co-administration under field conditions. Secondary objectives: Assess the incidence and type of adverse events (AE), and the capacity of the treatment centers to deal with these. Assess the feasibility of the implementation of the NECT coadministration by the health center. Assess the effectiveness of the NECT co-administration at 24* months after treatment.

Trial of DB289 for the Treatment of Stage I African Trypanosomiasis

African Trypanosomiasis

Human African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has made a spectacular return during the last decade, and in many places the demand largely surpasses the capacities of the treatment centers. Treatment of the disease remains unsatisfactory. All currently used drugs must be administered parenterally, treatment is lengthy, and adverse drug reactions frequent. There are currently no drugs that are easily administered and have low toxicity, and might thus be used as tools to support disease control. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of DB289, a new, orally administered dication prodrug to pentamidine i.m. injection for the treatment of first stage sleeping sickness. The project will be executed in the framework of an international consortium consisting of several partners from academia, industry and from the Democratic Republic of Congo Ministries of Health.
