To study a new combination, based on dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine (CV8) and atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone) for treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Vietnam.
Vietnamese adults with falciparum malaria were allocated randomly to treatment with dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine/trimethoprim/primaquine 256/2560/720/40 mg (CV8, n = 84) or Malarone 3000/1200 mg (n = 81), both over 3 days. Patients were followed-up for 28 days.
All patients recovered rapidly. The mean (95% CI) parasite elimination half-life of CV8 was 6.8 h (6.2-7.4) and of Malarone 6.5 h (6.1-6.9) (P = 0.4). Complete parasite clearance time was 35 (31-39) and 34 h (31-38) (P = 0.9). The 28-day cure rate was 94% and 95%, respectively (odds ratio 0.84, 95% CI 0.18-3.81). No significant side-effects were found.
CV8 and Malarone are effective combinations against multi-drug resistant falciparum malaria. CV8 has the advantage of a low price.
研究一种基于双氢青蒿素和哌喹(CV8)以及阿托伐醌/氯胍(malarone)的新组合,用于治疗越南非复杂性恶性疟。
将患有恶性疟的越南成年人随机分配接受双氢青蒿素/哌喹/甲氧苄啶/伯氨喹256/2560/720/40毫克(CV8,n = 84)或malarone 3000/1200毫克(n = 81)治疗,疗程均为3天。对患者进行28天的随访。
所有患者均迅速康复。CV8的平均(95%CI)寄生虫清除半衰期为6.8小时(6.2 - 7.4),malarone为6.5小时(6.1 - 6.9)(P = 0.4)。完全寄生虫清除时间分别为35(31 - 39)小时和34小时(31 - 38)(P = 0.9)。28天治愈率分别为94%和95%(优势比0.84,95%CI 0.18 - 3.81)。未发现明显副作用。
CV8和malarone是治疗多重耐药恶性疟的有效组合。CV8具有价格低廉的优势。
