Breakthrough study could end treatment ban for new moms with malaria

NCT ID NCT07060404

Summary

This study aims to find out if two common malaria drugs, primaquine and tafenoquine, are safe for breastfeeding mothers and their babies. Currently, these drugs are not recommended for new mothers for six months after birth due to safety concerns. Researchers will measure how much of the drugs pass into breast milk and check the health of both mothers and infants to see if earlier treatment is possible. If safe, this could allow more women to receive complete malaria treatment, preventing dangerous relapses.
