First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests whether azithromycin, an antibiotic, helps children aged 6-59 months with severe acute malnutrition gain weight and recover better than the current standard treatment (amoxicillin) or a placebo. About 3,000 children in Burkina Faso will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The goal is to see if a different antibiotic can improve recovery and reduce deaths in this vulnerable population.
