OZ439 is a novel, synthetic trioxolane medicine which is related to artemisinin, but has the advantage of a longer elimination half-life so is being developed to be administered together with a potential partner drug e.g. mefloquine as a single dose cure for uncomplicated malaria. The study findings will be used to inform the dose and design of future studies. The aim of the study is to establish the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of co-administered OZ439 and MQ at a range of doses up to the maximum tolerated dose, in healthy volunteers.
Primary Objective: To assess the antiparasitic activity of intramuscular (IM) SAR97276A based on parasite reduction ratio at 72 hours in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria Secondary Objectives: - To assess the evolution of clinical signs and symptoms (including the need for a rescue therapy) in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria receiving SAR97276A with reference to Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapy (ACTs) - To assess the pharmacokinetics profile of SAR97276A in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria - To assess the safety profile of SAR97276A in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria - To assess the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of SAR97276A
The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Sevuparin/DF02 when administered as an i.v. infusion in combination with Malanil® (atovaquone/proguanil) as anti-malarial treatment in subjects affected with uncomplicated malaria. The study will also assess the potential of Sevupatin/DF02 to reduce infected erythrocyte sequestration and rosette formation. The study consists of a dose escalation part (part 1) followed by an open labelled, randomized comparison of treatment with Sevuparin/DF02 and Malanil® versus Malanil® alone (part 2).
This Phase II study is designed to determine whether a single 600 mg dose or 400mg/day for 3 days of tafenoquine is efficacious, and well tolerated for clearing P. vivax malaria infection (blood schizontocidal and gametocytocidal activity) and preventing P. vivax relapse (hypnozoite eradication). It will also further establish the safety and tolerability of these doses of tafenoquine.
The current treatment recommendations for P. vivax in pregnant and non-pregnant individuals are to use chloroquine; in non-pregnant patients this is followed by primaquine to prevent relapse. As primaquine can not be used in pregnant women, these women remain at risk of relapse. As there is increasing concern about chloroquine resistant P. vivax in this region, there is a need to identify alternative treatment options. The artemisinin combination therapies are recommended for use against P. falciparum infections in pregnant women after the 1st trimester; additional data are needed to support the use of these drugs against P. vivax.
Data on the burden of MIP in low transmission areas, such as Latin America, are very limited; there is even less information on the efficacy of case management of MiP. The treatment recommendations for MiP in Latin American countries have been changing rapidly in recent months; currently, either artemether-lumefantrine (AL) or mefloquine-artesunate (MA) is the first line treatment for P. falciparum (depending on country); however, no data exists on the efficacy of these drugs for the treatment of malaria in pregnancy in Latin America to support their use. We propose a multi-center 2-arm open-label randomized Phase 4 clinical trial to assess safety and efficacy of the present therapies, AL and MA. We hypothesize that the drugs will both be efficacious for use in pregnant women in Brazil.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and tolerability of escalating doses of a genetically attenuated parasite malaria vaccine (p52-/p36- GAP vaccine) in healthy malaria-naive adults. The study will also assess preliminary efficacy of p52-/p36- GAP vaccine following primary experimental challenge with P. falciparum sporozoites. Lastly, the study will assess immunogenicity of p52-/p36- GAP in malaria-naïve healthy adults and preliminary efficacy of p52-/p36- GAP vaccine following primary experimental re-challenge with P. falciparum sporozoites.
Primary objective: To assess the Day 28 efficacy defined as the percentage of patients with no parasitic recrudescence, of 3 treatment groups - 3 dose levels of ferroquine associated with artesunate - for a 3-day treatment. Secondary objectives: - To assess the efficacy of ferroquine at one dose level alone for a 3-day treatment. - To assess the clinical safety of 4 treatment groups - 3 dose levels of ferroquine associated with artesunate and one dose level of ferroquine alone. - To assess pharmacokinetics parameters of ferroquine and its metabolites along sparse sampling schedules.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine compared to chloroquine prophylaxis in Honiara, Solomon Islands for prevention of malaria and it's adverse effects in pregnancy.
