NCT ID NCT06599593

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study in Burkina Faso tests whether adding a nutritional supplement (small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements) to the monthly malaria prevention medicine already given to young children can reduce both malaria and malnutrition during the rainy season. About 438 children aged 6-24 months will receive either the standard malaria prevention alone or with the added nutrition. The goal is to see if this combined approach offers better protection during the most vulnerable months.
