Plasmodium vivax malaria

This Phase 2b trial tests whether a new drug, SJ733, combined with tafenoquine can cure P. vivax malaria and prevent it from returning. About 104 adults with uncomplicated malaria will receive different schedules of SJ733 plus tafenoquine, or standard chloroquine plus tafenoquine…

This study tests a shorter, higher-dose course of primaquine to cure vivax malaria and prevent it from coming back. Current treatments take too long, so a 3-day course could make it easier for patients to complete therapy. The trial involves over 1,000 people aged 5 and older wit…

This phase II trial tests a new malaria vaccine called PvRII/Matrix-M in 36 healthy Thai adults aged 20-55. Half receive the vaccine, half a placebo. After three doses, 24 volunteers will be exposed to the malaria parasite in a controlled setting to see if the vaccine reduces inf…

This study tests an experimental vaccine called PvCS/Montanide ISA-51 to see if it can protect against P. vivax malaria, a major cause of recurrent fever and anemia. 72 healthy adults in Colombia will receive either the vaccine or a placebo, then be exposed to infected mosquitoes…

This early-stage trial is testing a new vaccine called Vivaxin, designed to protect against malaria caused by the Plasmodium vivax parasite. Researchers will give the vaccine to 48 healthy adults who have never had malaria, to check if it is safe and whether it triggers an immune…

This study compares two common antibiotic combinations—vancomycin with piperacillin/tazobactam versus vancomycin with meropenem—to see which is less harmful to the kidneys. About 852 hospitalized adults with serious infections will be randomly assigned to one of the two combos. T…

This study tests whether combining tafenoquine with different antimalarial drugs can better prevent P. vivax malaria from coming back. About 300 adults in Thailand with uncomplicated P. vivax infection will receive one of three drug pairs and be monitored for 6 months. The goal i…

This study looks at how much of the malaria drugs primaquine and tafenoquine pass to babies through breast milk. It involves 60 breastfeeding mothers in Papua New Guinea who recently gave birth. The goal is to find a safe way to treat and prevent relapses of vivax malaria in new …

This study looks at whether a malaria drug called tafenoquine interacts with two other common malaria treatments (DHA-piperaquine and artesunate-pyronaridine) in adults with vivax malaria. About 507 participants will receive one of the combinations or a delayed treatment to compa…

This early-stage study tests a new treatment using special immune cells (CAR-T cells) designed to reduce harmful antibodies that can prevent or damage bone marrow transplants. About 18 people with blood diseases who have these antibodies will receive the cells in increasing doses…

This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a drug called tafenoquine in 60 children with vivax malaria in Papua New Guinea. Vivax malaria can hide in the liver and come back, so the goal is to find a treatment that clears the infection completely. The children will rece…

This study tests whether starting tube feeding right after a stem cell transplant can reduce severe gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with blood cancers or disorders. About 112 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard care or early tube feeding. The …

This observational study will look at 10,000 adults in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world during a single 24-hour period. Researchers want to find out how common infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are, how they are treated, and how patients recover. No new tre…

This research project aims to understand why older adults get more infections and why those infections can be more serious. By following 23,000 people aged 60 and older, scientists will collect health data and samples like blood and stool to study how the immune system changes wi…

This study will collect blood samples from 30,000 adults in the UK with various health conditions, including blood clots, infections, heart disease, diabetes, and more. The samples will be used to develop and fine-tune new diagnostic tests for the cobas® lumira device, which allo…

This study will follow 300 adults with severe infections in the ICU to see how levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs)—natural molecules that help stop inflammation—change over time. Researchers will use blood samples already collected during routine care, so no extr…
