There are about 751 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Kenya. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to determine the comparative efficacy of artesunate plus sulfamethoxypyrazine-pyrimethamine versus Praziquantel in the treatment of school children infected with S.mansoni in western Kenya.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether insecticide treated wall liners, in combination with insecticide treated nets, reduce the incidence of malaria infections compared to insecticide treated nets alone.
The World Health Organization has recommended that developing countries should incorporate pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) into their routine immunization schedules. The Kenya Ministry of Health anticipates introducing a new formulation of PCV, PCV10, into the routine childhood immunization schedule in 2010. In the areas of Kenya that have been designated to monitor the impact of vaccine, a catch-up campaign will be implemented to vaccinate children aged 12-59 months. PCV10 has been found to be safe and effective in infants. It is licensed for use in children up to 2 years of age, but its use as a primary series in children over age 12 months has not been evaluated. This study will assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of PCV10 first administered at an age of 12-59 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating HSV-2 with either valacyclovir or acyclovir is more effective in suppressing HIV-1 virus levels in people co-infected with HIV-1 and HSV-2.
A descriptive post-intervention study designed to provide data to decision-makers at the Kenyan Ministry of Health, the Extending Service Delivery Project (ESD), and Pathfinder International about whether and how to scale-up the ESD Project's postabortion care (PAC) services package. Approximately three months of data will be collected following the introduction of postabortion care job aids in eight public sector health facilities in Central Province and Nairobi, Kenya. Postabortion clients and providers will be interviewed; facilities providing PAC services will be inventoried using facility checklists.
The purpose of this study is to see if a computerized counseling tool helps patients reduce their sexual transmission risk and improve their antiretroviral adherence.
This is a cluster randomized trial comparing the integration of family planning services into HIV care and treatment programs versus the standard referral for family planning services outside of HIV care and treatment programs within Suba, Kisumu East, Rongo and Migori districts in Nyanza province.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Shang Ring, a novel Chinese device for voluntary medical male circumcision, in order to improve the provision of male circumcision services for HIV prevention in Africa.
Primary objective: To assess the Day 28 efficacy defined as the percentage of patients with no parasitic recrudescence, of 3 treatment groups - 3 dose levels of ferroquine associated with artesunate - for a 3-day treatment. Secondary objectives: - To assess the efficacy of ferroquine at one dose level alone for a 3-day treatment. - To assess the clinical safety of 4 treatment groups - 3 dose levels of ferroquine associated with artesunate and one dose level of ferroquine alone. - To assess pharmacokinetics parameters of ferroquine and its metabolites along sparse sampling schedules.
The trial aim is to ascertain what, if anything, needs to be combined with a boosted protease inhibitor (bPI) backbone in second-line therapy in order to maximize the chance of a good clinical outcome following WHO-defined failure on a first-line nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) and NNRTI-containing regimen with probable extensive NRTI and NNRTI resistance mutations.
