Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to provide stronger evidence for extended-dose chloroquine treatment of falciparum-positive Afghan refugees in Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP), Pakistan or justification for discontinuation of the policy.


Description:

To determine whether extended-dose chloroquine provided better cure rates and fewer recrudescences than standard chloroquine treatment among Afghan refugees, 163 falciparum patients from three Afghan refugee camps were recruited into 3-day (CQ 25mg/kg) or 5-day (CQ 40mg/kg) treatment arms and followed for up to 60 days.
