 Optimizing malaria treatment for HIV-malaria co-infected individuals by addressing drug interactions between Artemether-Lumefantrine and Efavirenz.; a randomized trial
REFNo: HS820ES

General Objective: To utilize innovative interventions to overcome drug interactions between artemether-lumefantrine and efavirenz to guide malaria treatment for individuals co-infected with HIV and malaria.
Specific objectives:
1. To determine the safety and Pharmacokinetics of the double dose artemether-lumefantrine when administered with efavirenz based ART among healthy volunteers (malaria negative and HIV negative individuals).
2. To determine the safety and Pharmacokinetics of the 5-day course of artemether-lumefantrine when administered with efavirenz based ART among healthy volunteers (malaria negative and HIV negative individuals).
3. To determine the safety, pharmacokinetics and malaria treatment outcome of a standard dose of artemether-lumefantrine compared to double of the standard dose for weight and a 5-day course of artemether-lumefantrine for treatment of uncomplicated malaria among HIV-Malaria co-infected individuals receiving efavirenz-based ART.
4. To determine the safety and Pharmacokinetics of artemether-lumefantrine when administered with Dolutegravir based ART among HIV-malaria co-infected individuals
