Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims at describing the pharmacokinetic properties of rectal artesunate in well characterized severely ill patients using intravenous artesunate as a comparator.


Clinical Trial Description

Individually randomized, open label, 2-arm, cross-over, clinical trial. Patients are allocated to receive rectal artesunate at admission and intravenous artesunate after 12 hours or intravenous artesunate at admission and rectal artesunate after 12 hours.
