Malaria in pregnancy often causes no symptoms, yet it can lead to anaemia, premature birth, and low birth weight. Standard rapid tests miss many of these quiet infections. Researchers are comparing a new high-sensitivity rapid diagnostic test with conventional tests in 930 pregna…

Researchers are evaluating four blood glucose meters and four HbA1c point-of-care devices to see how accurately they measure blood sugar and long-term glucose control compared with standard lab methods. The study includes people with diabetes, both adults and teenagers, some of w…

Malaria in pregnancy can hide in the placenta and harm both mother and baby, yet it often goes undetected. This study enrolls about 1,200 pregnant women in Africa to see whether malaria rapid diagnostic tests, blood smears, and PCR on maternal blood can accurately detect or predi…

Visceral leishmaniasis is a fatal parasitic disease if left untreated, and current methods to check whether treatment worked require invasive sampling of the spleen or bone marrow. Researchers at Gondar University Hospital in Ethiopia are evaluating blood-based immune and molecul…

Researchers in Senegal are testing a new way to care for children under 15 who come to primary health clinics with fever or diarrhea. The strategy combines rapid tests for malaria, dengue, and strep A with a digital tool that suggests treatment based on symptoms and test results.…

Dengue fever is common in Burkina Faso, but primary health clinics often rely only on malaria rapid tests when a child arrives with fever. Researchers are testing a digital module that walks health workers through the country's dengue management guideline and pairs it with dengue…

Researchers in Georgia are testing whether mailing hepatitis C self-tests to people who inject drugs and men who have sex with men increases how many get tested. The trial enrolls 1,250 adults in Tbilisi and Batumi who do not know their hepatitis C status. Half receive a self-tes…

Researchers in Karachi, Pakistan, are studying whether delivering hepatitis C self-tests to people's homes increases how many get tested. The trial enrolls about 2,000 adults who live in two areas of the Malir district and have not recently been tested. Half receive a self-test k…

Researchers are testing whether giving people in Malaysia a rapid hepatitis C self-test kit to use at home increases how many get tested, compared with standard clinic-based testing. The trial enrolls 750 adults who are not known to have hepatitis C and have not been tested in th…

Researchers are testing a portable device called Truenat MTB Plus/COVID-19 to see if it can accurately detect both tuberculosis and COVID-19 from the same sample. The study will enroll about 2,000 adults who have symptoms like a long-lasting cough, fever, or weight loss, which co…

This study will check how well three new rapid tests detect mpox virus compared to a standard lab test. Researchers will use about 80 stored skin swab samples from Uganda. The goal is to see if these quick, portable tests are accurate enough for use in places without full labs.

This study evaluates whether two newer line probe assays, the YD REBA MTB-MDR and Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V2, perform as well as the older Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V1 in detecting drug-resistant tuberculosis. Researchers will test stored, de-identified samples from adults with sym…
