Condition(s) targeted: Malaria

Intervention: Azithromycin plus Chloroquine (Drug); Mefloquine (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Pfizer

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):

Summary

To compare Azithromycin plus Chloroquine versus Mefloquine to treat uncomplicated plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label, Comparative Trial Of Azithromycin Plus Chloroquine Versus Mefloquine For The Treatment Of Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria In Africa

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

The primary objective is to confirm the hypothesis that azithromycin plus chloroquine is noninferior to mefloquine for the treatment of symptomatic, uncomplicated malaria due to P. falciparum in Africa.

The primary endpoint of the study will be the asexual P. falciparum Parasite Clearance Rates (adjusted for molecular testing determining recrudescence, true failures, from reinfection, true cures) at Day 28 in the Parasitologic Per Protocol population.

Secondary outcome:

A secondary objective is to assess the efficacy of azithromycin plus chloroquine.

Additional secondary objectives include an assessment of the safety and tolerability of all treatment regimens.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Females and males 18 years of age and older with uncomplicated, symptomatic malaria

as as indicated by the presence of both of the following:

- Blood smears positive for Plasmodium falciparum asexual parasitemia between 1000
