Trypanosoma Brucei Rhodesiense; Infection Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Retrospective Analysis of Suramin Treatment for Stage 1 Trypanosoma Brucei Rhodesiense Human African Trypanosomiasis (S1 TBR HAT) in Uganda and Malawi
The study will include TBR HAT patients treated with suramin between 2000 and 2020 at three sites in Uganda and Malawi A natural history cohort composed of source data from approximately 200 patients from a published epidemiological study will be used as a comparator. This study's objectives are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of suramin in the Stage 1 treatment of TBR HAT.
The study will include TBR HAT patients treated with suramin between 2000 and 2020 at three sites in Uganda and Malawi (e.g., the retrospective suramin-treated cohort). The study will include all the approximately 145 patients who are deemed eligible through chart review and who have sufficient data. A natural history cohort composed of source data from approximately 200 patients from a published epidemiological study will be used as a comparator. The primary objective is to determine whether standard of care treatment with suramin, as currently practiced in Uganda and Malawi, leads to better health outcomes in patients with S1 TBR HAT than observed in a natural history cohort with source data from a published epidemiologic study. ;
