Trial Type Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
New Combination NCT00694694 ↗ Azithromycin + Artesunate v Artemether-lumefantrine in Uncomplicated Malaria. Completed National Institute for Medical Research, Tanzania Phase 3 2008-06-01 This trial sets out to determine whether the combination of azithromycin and artesunate (AZ+AS) is as good as the current standard treatment for uncomplicated malaria in Tanzania, artemether-lumefantrine (AL). There are two reasons this is important 1. there are only a limited range of drug combinations which work against malaria in this area of Tanzania 2. azithromycin has antimalarial properties, but is also a broad-spectrum antibiotic, so if the combination is an effective antimalarial it might have a place where there are no diagnostic facilities as syndromic treatment for fever. Artesunate and azithromycin have both been used alone or in combination with other drugs in children in Tanzania for many years, and are considered safe. There is trial evidence for the effectiveness of this combination in adults in Asia, as well as in-vitro (laboratory) evidence that it works against the malaria parasite. The trial randomizes children with non-severe malaria to the new combination AZ+AS or the standard care arm AL. The primary outcome is the parasitological failure rate by day 28- meaning do malaria parasites get cleared, and stay cleared for at least 28 days. Secondary outcomes include safety.

NCT00082576 ↗ Azithromycin Plus Chloroquine Versus Mefloquine for the Treatment of Uncomplicated Malaria in Africa Completed Pfizer Phase 2/Phase 3 2004-06-01 The primary objective is to confirm the hypothesis that azithromycin plus chloroquine is non-inferior to mefloquine for the treatment of symptomatic, uncomplicated malaria due to P. falciparum.
NCT00127998 ↗ Antimalarial Drug Resistance in Mali Completed Malaria Research and Training Center, Bamako, Mali N/A 2005-07-01 Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum (malaria) to current antimalarial drugs and the continuing development of resistance to new antimalarial formulations is one of the major obstacles to effective malaria control and case management. Efficient, comprehensive and validated methods for monitoring drug resistance in advance of the development of resistance to the antimalarial drugs that are in use are urgently needed. Molecular markers of genetic polymorphisms that give rise to resistant P. falciparum parasites and methods in population genetics for evaluating the data can be valuable tools for monitoring drug resistance in the field. This study aims to: 1. Prospectively measure the in vivo response of P. falciparum malaria in Mali to several different antimalarial drugs and drug combinations: chloroquine (CQ), sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), amodiaquine (AQ), sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in combination with amodiaquine (SP/AQ), amodiaquine in combination with artesunate (AQ/AS), sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in combination with artesunate (SP/AS), and artemether-lumefantrine (Co-artem). In one site with preliminary data showing a high rate of P. falciparum resistance to mefloquine (MQ), this drug will also be tested. 2. Measure the frequencies of molecular markers for antimalarial drug resistance, and examine how those results relate to the efficacy of these drugs in treating clinical malaria 3. Measure drug levels at 3 days and correlate with efficacy results. 4. Examine early clinical, parasitologic, and clinical predictors of late treatment failure. 5. Use the knowledge gained in Aims 1-3 to develop a molecular tool for a countrywide resistance surveillance system for antimalarial drugs.

NCT00146718 ↗ Anti-Malarial Drug Resistance in Cameroon Completed University of Yaounde Phase 2/Phase 3 2003-08-01 The project is a three-armed study designed to evaluate the efficacy of amodiaquine(AQ), sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine(SP) and(AQ+SP) in three sites in Cameroon that differ in their baseline characteristics for malaria. In addition, drug resistance will be determined by measurement of blood drug levels,and identification of molecular markers of resistance.
