Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Effect of Single-course Malaria Chemoprevention on Clearance of and Protection from Plasmodium Falciparum Infection in the Presence of Resistance-associated Genotypes in Cameroon
Brief Summary:
The Cameroon PCPI study will measure the effect of the parasite genotypes associated with SP resistance on parasite clearance and protection from infection when exposed to SP.The total number of participants is expected to be 900 healthy between 3 to 5 years old who have no symptoms of malaria infection of which 450 children will be assigned to the SP group, 250 to the SPAQ group, and 200 to the AS group.The results of this study will allow to measure the effect of the parasite genotypes associated with SP…
