Could a simple nutrient supplement boost malaria protection in kids?
NCT ID NCT06599593
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a daily nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) to monthly malaria prevention visits can reduce both malaria and malnutrition in children aged 6-24 months in Burkina Faso. Researchers will compare malaria rates and nutritional status between children receiving the supplement plus standard care versus standard care alone. The goal is to see if combining these interventions on the existing seasonal malaria chemoprevention platform is feasible and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Small Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplement (SQ-LNS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining nutrition with malaria prevention on the same platform reduces both diseases more effectively than malaria prevention alone.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (438 children) in one region, so results may not apply elsewhere. Adding supplements may not significantly improve outcomes and could complicate delivery.
