Chagas Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Short-course Benznidazole Treatment to Reduce Trypanosoma Cruzi Parasitic Load in Women of Reproductive Age: A Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial
The investigators are proposing to perform a double-blinded, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial comparing a short 30-day treatment with BZN 150mg/day (30d/150mg) vs. a 60-day treatment with BZN 300 mg/day (60d/300mg). The investigators will recruit not previously treated T. cruzi seropositive women with a live birth during the postpartum period in Argentina, randomize them at six months postpartum, and follow them up with the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1: To measure the effect of BZN 30d/150mg compared to 60d/300mg preconceptional treatment on parasitic load measured by the frequency of positive PCR (primary outcome) and by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), immediately (Specific Aim 1a) and 10 months (Specific Aim 1b) after treatment. Hypothesis 1a: The frequency of positive PCR and the parasitic load measured by qPCR immediately after BZN 30d/150mg will be non-inferior (Non Inferiority [NI] margin for PCR: 10% absolute difference) to BZN 60d/300mg. Hypothesis 1b: The frequency of positive PCR and the parasitic load measured by qPCR 10 months after BZN 30d/150mg will be non-inferior (NI margin for PCR: 9% absolute difference) to BZN 60d/300mg. Specific Aim 2: To measure the frequency of serious adverse events leading to treatment interruption of BZN 30d/150mg compared to 60d/300mg. Hypothesis 2: The frequency of serious adverse events leading to treatment interruption will be 50% lower with BZN 30d/150mg than with BZN 60d/300mg. A 24-month recruitment period is planned in four hospitals with 23,436 deliveries in 2015 and frequencies of T. cruzi seropositive women varying from 1.5% to 4.8%. The investigators are planning to enroll 600 T. cruzi seropositive women.
