Clinical Trial Summary

Malaria is a life-threatening disease especially in small children. A high degree of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to chloroquine has already spread to South-Benin where this study is taking place. In the past few years, the recommendation for a first-line treatment in this area has moved from chloroquine to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). There is growing evidence that Plasmodium falciparum resistance to SP has come to South-Benin. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of SP to two compact artemisinin-based therapies (ACT): artemether-lumefantrine and the amodiaquine-artesunate coformulation. ACT will be unsupervised.

The primary endpoint is an effectiveness comparison (PCR corrected) at day 28. Secondary outcomes are effectiveness comparisons (PCR corrected) at day 14 and 42 and a study on the relationships between ACT PK data (day 3) and outcome.

Expected total enrollment: 225 patients

Study start: April 2007; expected completion: December 2007
