  • Any other underlying disease that would compromise the diagnosis and the evaluation of the response to the study medication (including clinical symptoms of immunosuppression, tuberculosis and bacterial infection)
  • Treatment in the 28-days prior to screening with sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (FANSIDAR, CELOXINE), sulfalene/pyrimethamine (METAKELFIN), mefloquine-sulfadoxinepyrimethamine (FANSIMET), chloroquine* (NIVAQUINE); treatment in the 21-days prior to screening with mefloquine, or 7-days prior to screening with amodiaquine, halofantrine, quinine (full course), atovaquone - proguanil, artemisinins, co-artemether, tetracycline or clindamycin, or treatment for 5 half-lives prior to screening with drugs that have a potential anti-malarial activity (e.g. co-trimoxazole in the previous 60 hours)
  • Use of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to screening
  • Previous participation in this study
  • A positive pregnancy test at enrolment, women of child-bearing age who do not take a pregnancy test or female subjects who are breast-feeding an infant for the duration of the study

About this study

Official title: An Open, Randomised, Multi-centre Dose Ranging Phase II Study to Evaluate LAPDAP in Combination With Three Different Doses of Artesunate

Drug resistance to a range of antimalarial treatments has become widespread in Africa, South East Asia and South America. Because the rapid spread of drug resistance threatens a public health disaster in these areas of the world and to comply with the WHO-Roll Back Malaria policy of using Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT), there is a need to develop new, safe, effective and affordable ACT.

Chlorproguanil-dapsone-artesunate (CDA)is a new ACT that is being developed for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Africa.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Chlorproguanil-dapsone-artesunate (CDA)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Treatment differences between 1,2, or 4mg/kg artesunate with a fixed dose of Chlorproguanil-dapsone (LAPDAP), as measured by determination of PC90 (time to achieve reduction of parasitaemia by 90% of baseline)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The key secondary efficacy endpoint is parasite viability (the proportion of ring-form parasites developing to schizonts) determined from rich adult data and confirmed with more sparse child data

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chlorproguanil-dapsone-artesunate (CDA) in people with Malaria, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Malawi, The Gambia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment differences between 1,2, or 4mg/kg artesunate with a fixed dose of Chlorproguanil-dapsone (LAPDAP), as measured by determination of PC90 (time to achieve reduction of parasitaemia by 90% of baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00519467, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Dec 2016.
