Filter by:The purpose of this prospective, observational study is to assess the operational feasibility of appropriate radical cure treatment for P. vivax malaria with tafenoquine or primaquine, in patients 16 year and older, after G6PD testing in Thailand. The study will be implemented in a phased manner, in the provinces of Yala and Mae Hong Son. The first phase will be at higher level health facilities (hospitals). An interim analysis will be conducted after 40 patients are enrolled in the study in order to decide whether the study could be extended to lower level HFs. If approved by the Independent Study Oversight Committee, the study will be implemented in lower level HFs (malaria clinics).Higher level HFs will continue to include patients in the study during this 2nd phase.Written informed consent / assent is required from all patients /guardians in the case of minors.
A prospective clinical study to compare the clinical performance of the FINDER™ Instrument and the G6PD assay to an FDA cleared instrument/reagent combination in adult and neonate populations.
The proposed study will determine whether G6PD-deficient RBCs store differently than normal RBCs under standard blood banking conditions. The investigators plan to screen a large number of healthy male volunteers for G6PD deficiency in order to identify 10 G6PD deficient and 30 matched normal individuals using a blood sample obtained from a finger-stick. The identified individuals will then be asked to donate a unit of blood that will be stored for up to 42 days and various tests will be performed on these units during storage. At 6 weeks of storage a portion of the unit will be radioactively labeled and re-infused into the volunteer. Blood samples will be drawn before, during, and after the infusion to measure how well or poorly the red blood cells survive after transfusion.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the accuracy of the SD Biosensor STANDARD™ point-of-care (POC) G6PD test in measuring G6PD activity and classifying results compared to a reference assay and across repeated measurements in capillary samples.
Th objectives of this study are: - To determine the performance of G6PD tests in detecting G6PD activity and hemoglobin (Hb) compared to a reference assay - To assess the comprehension of the G6PD test packaging and labelling among intended users - To assess the usability of G6PD test result outputs among intended users
The primary objective of this study is to assess the accuracy of the SD Biosensor STANDARD G6PD Analyzer in measuring G6PD activity when used by trained health care workers.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of alpha-lipoic acid supplementation on redox status, physiological and biochemical parameters in G6PD deficient individuals after acute exercise.
In Cambodia, falciparum is becoming more difficult to treat because drugs are becoming less effective. The investigators can help to try to prevent the spread of this resistant malaria by adding a drug that will make it more difficult for the mosquito to drink up the malaria in people's blood. If the mosquito cannot drink up the malaria, then the malaria cannot develop in the mosquito so it will not be able to inject malaria back into people when it bites. The drug the investigators will use is called primaquine. Primaquine commonly causes the red cells in the blood to break apart if they are weak. Red cells need enzymes to work properly and weak red cells have low amounts of an enzyme called glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). The investigators want to know if treating malaria with primaquine will be safe for the red cells. To do this study, the investigators need to know if a subject has low G6PD or not.
