Clinical Trial Summary

This is an individually randomized, controlled, single blind three arm clinical trial of malaria chemoprevention strategies Arm 1: Intermittent preventive treatment with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (IPT-DP). Arm 2: Intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) plus chloroquine (CQ) (IPT-SPCQ). Arm 3: Control - students will receive standard of care (no preventive treatment). Outcomes include P. falciparum infection and parasite density, anemia, cognitive function and educational testing, as well as infection prevalence in young children sleeping student's households to assess the impact on transmission.


Clinical Trial Description

Students attending a single primary school in Machinga District, Malawi who were enrolled in NCT05244954 were offered enrollment in this follow-on study. The intervention will be conducted every 6-weeks during the two school terms which coincide with peak malaria transmission. Students in the IPT-DP arm will be treated with with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) (females less than 10 years old and all males) or chloroquine (females 10 years old or older. Students in the IPT-SPCQ arm will be treated with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus chloroquine (females less than 10 years old and all males) or chloroquine alone (females 10 years old or older). ;
