First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving malaria medicine to school-age children can lower malaria cases in the entire community. School children often carry the malaria parasite without symptoms and spread it to others. The trial will involve about 4,800 children in The Gambia and measure how many people of all ages get malaria over two years.
