 A randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare efficacy, safety and tolerability of KLU156 with Coartem® in the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in adults and children ≥ 5 kg body weight followed by an Extension phase with repeated KLU156 treatment.
REFNo: HS3732ES

This study aims to confirm the efficacy, safety and tolerability of KLU156, a fixed dose combination of ganaplacide (KAF156) and a solid dispersion formulation of lumefantrine (lumefantrine-SDF), when administered once daily for three days in adults and children ≥ 5 kg body weight and ≥ 2 months of age suffering from uncomplicated P.Falciparum malaria (with or without other plasmodium spp. co-infection). In the Extension phase, the safety, tolerability and efficacy of repeated treatment with KLU156 will be assessed for a maximum of two years in patients who did not experience early treatment failure(ETF), who did not experience any study treatment-related SAE (Serious Adverse Event) previously and who gave informed consent to participate in the Extension phase.

 Evaluation of the protective efficacy of a spatial repellent to reduce malaria prevalence in Uganda: Study protocol for a cluster-randomized double-blinded control trial: The Mossie-GO trial
REFNo: HS4196ES

The study’s primary objective is to demonstrate and quantify the protective efficacy (PE) of Mossie-GO, an active spatial repellent system disseminating transfluthrin, in reducing the prevalence of malaria infection in children ≤ 5 years of age.

The study’s secondary objective is to measure the impact of the intervention on entomological correlates of transmission including vector densities and host seeking behaviour. Insecticide resistance in the local mosquito population will also be explored.

 Bridges2Scale: Testing Implementation Strategies for an intervention among young people affected by AIDS
REFNo: SS2488ES

Bridges2Scale will use a two-arm Hybrid III effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized clinical trial, where we will compare two multifaceted strategies (standard vs. enhanced) for scaling the Bridges interventions (consisting of financial literacy training, peer mentorship, family income-generating , and youth development accounts). The standard implementation strategy has been applied in our prior and ongoing studies and involves educational meetings that prepare staff members to deliver Bridges with minimal disruption to site workflow. This will be compared to an enhanced strategy that will be developed using Implementation Mapping, a systematic protocol for developing implementation strategies using theory, evidence, and stakeholder input. Aim 1: Compare the implementation effectiveness of the standard implementation strategy vs. an enhanced implementation strategy. Aim 2: Determine the clinical effectiveness of Bridges implemented via a standard vs. enhanced implementation strategy. Aim 3: Explore implementation processes, mechanisms, and determinants. Aim 4: Compare the cost and cost-effectiveness of the two implementation strategies.
