About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized Multicenter Study to Investigate the Anti-parasitic Activity, Pharmacokinetic and Safety of IM SAR97276A With Oral ACTs as Positive Control in Children Presenting With Symptomatic Plasmodium Falciparum Uncomplicated Malaria

Primary Objective:

To assess the antiparasitic activity of intramuscular (IM) SAR97276A based on parasite reduction ratio at 72 hours in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria

  • To assess the pharmacokinetics profile of SAR97276A in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria
  • To assess the safety profile of SAR97276A in pediatric patients with uncomplicated malaria
  • To assess the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of SAR97276A

What is being measured

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

  1. Parasite Reduction Ratio (PRR)

    Measured: at 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evolution of mean Parasitaemia over time (nb/µL)

    Measured: every 6 hours from baseline up to 72 hours (day 4)

  2. Evolution of mean Gametocytes count over time (nb/µL)

    Measured: from baseline to end of study (day 28 ± 2)

  3. Fever Clearance (time to reach Temperature < 38°C)

    Measured: every 6 hours from baseline up to 72 hours (day 4)

  4. General conditions improvement: mean total symptom score over time

    Measured: every 6 hours from baseline up to 72 hours (day 4)

  5. SAR97276 pharmacokinetic profile in plasma and blood

    Measured: from baseline up to 12 hours after the last study drug intake on (Day 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SAR97276A and arthemeter + lumefantrine (ACTs) in people with Malaria, run by Sanofi at 4 sites in 4 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 6 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Benin, Burkina Faso, Gabon, Kenya. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Data Monitoring Committee recommendation). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Parasite Reduction Ratio (PRR) (time frame: at 72 hours). 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 NCT01445938, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Dec 2012.
