One-Shot malaria shield? new combo drug aims to stop silent infections

NCT ID NCT05974267

Summary

This study tested whether a single dose of two drugs (M5717 and pyronaridine) could clear existing silent malaria infections and then protect people from getting infected again. It involved 192 asymptomatic adults and adolescents who already had the malaria parasite in their blood but felt fine. Researchers measured how long the protection lasted and checked the safety of the treatment.
