Trial summary

Studies have shown that Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) with Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP)reduced the incidence of clinical malaria and anemia without modifying infants' serological response to EPI vaccines. Read more about this study

About this study

Studies have shown that Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) with Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP)reduced the incidence of clinical malaria and anemia without modifying infants' serological response to EPI vaccines. Thus IPTi was seen as a potential public health tool of great benefit to the children of Africa and a logical addition to the Immunization Plus package. The objectives of this operational researcher were

  • to develop an implementation model for IPTi in the health care system in Mali
  • to assess its impact on the EPI vaccines and other health interventions coverage
  • and on molecular makers of resistance to SP
Read the detailed description

The study was implemented in districts of the region of Koulikoro; the district of Koulikoro and the district of Kolokani. The whole district of Koulikoro was covered by the intervention while in Kolokani, the 22 health areas (sub districts) were randomized in 1:1 ratio with the intervention in 11 health areas and the other 11 serving as control for the assessment of the impact of IPTi implementation on EPI vaccines and other health interventions coverage as well as its impact on the resistance to SP. The implementation consisted of administration of ½ tablet of Sulfadoxine -Pyrimethamine with EPI vaccines (DTP2, DTP3 and Measles vaccine) from December 2006 to December 2007.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sulfadoxine pyrimethamine in people with Malaria, run by University of Bamako at 1 site in Mali.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 Oct 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mali. 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.

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?

EPI vaccines and other health interventions coverage (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00766662, 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 Oct 2008.
