Malaria,Falciparum Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of the Performance of a Highly-sensitive Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) Versus Conventional RDT, Compared With PCR as the Gold Standard, in Reactive Case Detection of Malaria Infections in Rakhine State, Myanmar
A systematic review assessing the role, appropriateness and benefits of the active case detection strategy, both proactive and reactive, in low malaria transmission settings. A common indication is that more studies should be carried out to optimize the ACD strategy to the local context, or to provide evidence for the adoption of improved methods. One possible improved method is the use of more accurate diagnostic tools, such as the hsRDT proposed in this study, with an increased capacity to detect lower levels of parasitemia. It can provide a timely and relevant contribution for their development of national Standard Operating Procedures for a screening tool in the reactive case detection strategy.

Primary | Prevalence of malaria infections identified by the new hsRDT | Outcomes measured by malaria test positivity rate by cRDT, hsRDT and PCR, respectively | PCR diagnosis of samples will occur after 10 months of data collection. | |
Secondary | Diagnostic performance characteristics of hsRDT versus cRDT using PCR as gold standard, in the detection of P.falciparum infections | Outcomes measured between hsRDT and cRDT | Outcomes will be analyzed after 10 months of data collection | |
Secondary | Correlation of detection capability between cRDT and hsRDT | Outcomes measured by correlation of test positivity rates | PCR results will be analyzed during month 10 | |
Secondary | Risk factors associated with malaria infection cases | Outcomes will be measured by relative risk of malaria in association with different risk factors identified | Outcome will be measured/analyzed in month 10, after PCR results are released |
