Title: A Randomised Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Four Drug Regimens When Used for Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria in Senegalese Children
Brief Summary: A recent study has shown that the administration of a single dose of sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine plus artesunate to Senegalese children on three occasions during a short malaria transmission season reduced the incidence of clinical attacks of malaria by 86%. However, use of this drug regimen led to the selection of parasites with molecular markers of resistance to pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine. Therefore, a trial of three alternative regimens has been undertaken to see if these are as effective and safe as the drug combination used in the initial study but less likely to select for drug resistance.

Title: A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Trial to Measure the Potential of Intermittent Treatment With Artesunate Plus Sulphadoxine/Pyrimethamine (SP) to Reduce the Malaria Burden in Sub-Saharan Africa
Brief Summary: In countries of the Sahel and sub-Sahel, malaria transmission is highly seasonal with nearly all infections occurring during a few months of the year. However, mortality and morbidity from malaria may be high during this period, especially in young children who are the group most at risk.

Intermittent preventative treatment (IPT) is a new approach to the prevention of malaria in this situation. IPT involves the administration of an anti-malarial to children at risk for malaria at fixed times, even if they are not infected. To investigate how effective this approach might be in Senegal, a trial has been undertaken in which 1136 children aged 6 weeks to 59 months were given a single dose of sulfadoxine pyrimethamine and artesunate on three occasions during a three-month rainy season and the incidence of clinical malaria in these children was compared with that in a group of children who received placebo. Additional observations were made on the incidence of side effects in children in the two groups and on the impact of IPT in children (IPTc) on markers of drug resistance in children whose blood films were positive for Plasmodium falciparum.
