Comparative clinical trial of two-fixed combinations dihydroartemisinin-napthoquine-trimethoprim (DNP) and artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem/Riamet) in the treatment of acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Thailand.
An open randomized comparison of two-fixed dose artemisinin derivative-containing combination regimens was conducted in adults with acute uncomplicated multidrug resistant falciparum malaria in Thailand. DNP, a combination of dihydroartemisinin with napthoquine and trimethoprim developed recently in China, has been evaluated in China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. This study was performed to ...
متن کاملA randomized trial of artesunate-mefloquine versus artemether-lumefantrine for treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Mali.
The choice of appropriate artemisin-based combination therapy depends on several factors (cost, efficacy, safety, reinfection rate, and simplicity of administration). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that artesunate-mefloquine (Artequin) is as efficacious as artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) in treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The study was carried out from Augus...

Randomized trials have confirmed the efficacy and safety of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) for treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Data from seven studies supported by Novartis (1996-2007), including 647 adults (> 16 years of age, 83.3% completed the study) and 1,332 children (≤ 16 years of age, 89.3% completed the study) with microscopically confirmed uncomplicated P. falci...
متن کاملArtesunate + amodiaquine versus artemether-lumefantrine for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in the Colombian Pacific region: a noninferiority trial.
INTRODUCTION In Colombia, there are no published studies for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria comparing artemisinin combination therapies. Hence, it is intended to demonstrate the non-inferior efficacy/safety profiles of artesunate + amodiaquine versus artemether-lumefantrine treatments. METHODS A randomized, controlled, open-label, noninferiority (Δ≤5%) clinical t...
