Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Infant in Mali - Full Text View

Sponsors and Collaborators:	University of Bamako UNICEF

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00766662

Purpose

Studies have shown that Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) with Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP)reduced the incidence of clinical malaria and anemia without modifying infants' serological response to EPI vaccines. Thus IPTi was seen as a potential public health tool of great benefit to the children of Africa and a logical addition to the Immunization Plus package. The objectives of this operational researcher were

to develop an implementation model for IPTi in the health care system in Mali
to assess its impact on the EPI vaccines and other health interventions coverage
and on molecular makers of resistance to SP

Condition	Intervention
Malaria	Drug: Sulfadoxine pyrimethamine

Primary Outcome Measures:

EPI vaccines and other health interventions coverage [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Molecular makers of resistance of P. falciparum to Sulfaxodine- pyrimethamine [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Start Date:	October 2006
Study Completion Date:	December 2007
Primary Completion Date:	December 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

The study was implemented in districts of the region of Koulikoro; the district of Koulikoro and the district of Kolokani. The whole district of Koulikoro was covered by the intervention while in Kolokani, the 22 health areas (sub districts) were randomized in 1:1 ratio with the intervention in 11 health areas and the other 11 serving as control for the assessment of the impact of IPTi implementation on EPI vaccines and other health interventions coverage as well as its impact on the resistance to SP. The implementation consisted of administration of ½ tablet of Sulfadoxine -Pyrimethamine with EPI vaccines (DTP2, DTP3 and Measles vaccine) from December 2006 to December 2007.
