A Randomised Efficacy Study of Combination Antimalarials to Treat Uncomplicated Malaria

Malaria Clinical Trial

Official title:
Open-Label, Randomised, Parallel Group in Vivo Drug Study to Evaluate Combination Anti-Malarial Therapy (CAT), Artesunate and Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine Versus Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine Alone, in Terms of Therapeutic Efficacy, Prevalence of Gametocyte Carriage and Prevalence of Molecular Markers Associated With SP Resistance In Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Infections.

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus artesunate versus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine alone in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria.

Clinical Trial Description

Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to anti-malarial drugs is a serious impediment to the control of malaria. In order to facilitate formulation of effective regional drug policies and to provide a database for decision-making on the implementation of combination therapy (CAT), it is essential that the in vivo response to CAT be investigated. In the South East African Combination Anti-malarial Therapy (SEACAT) evaluation, there is a comprehensive evaluation of the phased introduction of combination anti-malarial therapy in Mozambique. As a component of this evaluation, in selected Mozambique sites where intensity of malaria transmission is high, a direct parallel group comparison of monotherapy (SP) with CAT (artesunate plus SP) will be conducted according to this protocol. ;
