Filter by:This study will assess efficacy, safety , tolerability and PK in uncomplicated adult malaria patients with P. vivax or P. falciparum infection after 3 day dosing with KAE609 at 30 mg/day
The primary objective of the drug-drug interaction study is to evaluate any drug interaction between the CYP2D6 substrate metoprolol and pyronaridine-artesunate in healthy volunteers. The primary objective of the pyronaridine-artesunate redosing study is to determine the safety of redosing a 3-day regimen of pyronaridine-artesunate following 60 or 90 days in healthy volunteers.
A cluster-randomised trial will be undertaken in Burkina Faso to investigate whether a comprehensive mass media campaign using local radio stations can change behaviours on a scale large enough to result in measurable and sustainable reductions in under-five child mortality. It is hypothesised that as a result of the scale and multi-pronged nature of the campaign, reductions of between 10% and 20% in child mortality will be achieved.
Background: - Some clinical trials require larger amounts of plasma and white blood cells than can be collected through simple blood donations. Apheresis is a procedure used to collect parts of the blood for study and return the rest of the blood to the donor. Healthy volunteers who provide plasma and white blood cells for study may need to give multiple donations. Researchers want to use apheresis to collect plasma and white blood cells from healthy volunteers in Mali. Objectives: - To collect plasma and white blood cells from healthy volunteers in Mali. Eligibility: - Healthy volunteers between 18 and 55 years of age. - Volunteers must be in National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases clinical trials. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also provide basic blood and urine samples. - Participants will have apheresis to collect plasma and white blood cells for study. Before each collection, they will provide a small blood sample for testing. They will be monitored during and after donation to prevent side effects. - Under this protocol, participants may have apheresis up to six times per year. - No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol....
The purpose of this study is to determine if sterile, protective immunity to malaria can be induced by malaria parasite exposure limited to the early liver stage of the parasite lifecycle.
This is an open label, human pilot study to optimise controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) administered by Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (PfSPZ. Volunteers will be inoculated with PfSPZ Challenge. The route of administration and dose will vary in order to identify the optimal regimen that achieves the greatest infection rate in volunteers with Plasmodium falciparum. All volunteers recruited will be healthy adults aged between 18 and 45 years. Safety and infectivity data will be collected for each of the regimens.
This is an open label uncontrolled study to determine the efficacy of fosmidomycin and clindamycin when co-administered orally over three days in the treatment of acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in children. The primary study endpoints will be the cure rate on Day 28 (PCR corrected). The secondary endpoints will be the cure rate on Day 7 and the parasite and fever clearance times.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of azithromycin as a possible combination partner for fosmidomycin to protect it from its susceptibility to recrudescent infections when used as monotherapy for acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria while retaining its excellent safety profile.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy, ACT,(artemether-lumefantrine) used as intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) alone or in combination with praziquantel, will have any effects on anemia, malaria, schistosomiasis and school sustained attention and concentration.
A Phase III malaria prevention trial was conducted in two camps of Liberian refugees in Sierra Leone using Insecticide Treated Polyethylene Sheeting (ITPS) or untreated polyethylene sheeting (UPS) randomly deployed to defined sectors of each camp. The ITPS was impregnated with pyrethroid insecticide during manufacture. In Largo camp the ITPS or UPS was attached to inner walls and ceilings of shelters, while in Tobanda the ITPS or UPS was used to line the ceiling and roof only. Cohorts of children up to 3 years of age were cleared of malaria parasites and monitored for up to 8 months post construction for possible malaria re-infection. Installation teams and refugee groups were blinded as to whether the sheeting was insecticide treated or not.
