Update Protocol Safety & Efficacy Master v6.0 |
Using MDA of endectocides such as ivermectin to reduce malaria transmission offers several potential advantages:
1. It would target malaria vectors feeding on treated humans regardless of the place and time of biting, effectively targeting residual transmission driven by mosquitoes that feed outside times and spaces protected by core vector control tools.
2. It would target malaria vectors that feed on livestock and that are not exposed to insecticide within the home, effectively targeting zoophagic-driven residual transmission.
3. It holds additional potential to tackle insecticide resistance given that ivermectin’s mechanism of action differs from public health insecticides currently in use.
4. It offers an opportunity for the integrated prevention of malaria and NTDs [56, 57], which may help achieve efficiencies.
5. Broader ivermectin delivery to livestock would have positive externalities on households, by reducing the burden of intestinal helminths and ecto-parasites in dominant domesticated herds; this can in turn increase income, food security, and liberate resources for re-investment in household improvement and human healthcare
Primary objective
● To determine the safety (in humans) and efficacy of ivermectin MDA (administered to humans or humans and livestock simultaneously) for the prevention of malaria.
Secondary objectives
• To assess the efficacy of the intervention using complementary methods (efficacy)
• To assess the safety of the intervention with complementary methods (safety)
• To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the proposed ivermectin dose/regime in its relationship with efficacy and safety outcomes (efficacy and safety)
• To assess the impact of ivermectin MDA at the proposed regimen on the prevalence of selected ectoparasitic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) (scabies, headlice, tungiasis, and bed bugs)
• To assess the relationship between malaria incidence in children under 5 and community prevalence one month post last dose (this ser |

• To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the proposed ivermectin dose/regime in its relationship with efficacy and safety outcomes (efficacy and safety)
• To assess the impact of ivermectin MDA at the proposed regimen on the prevalence of selected ectoparasitic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) (scabies, headlice, tungiasis, and bed bugs)
• To assess the relationship between malaria incidence in children under 5 and community prevalence one month post last dose (this serves for prevalence outcomes and paves the way for future studies using prevalence as outcome which is much less resource-consuming than incidence)
• To assess the relationship between active and passive surveillance for malaria at health facility (this serves as validation of passive surveillance and paves the way for future studies using passive surveillance as outcome which is much less resource-consuming than active surveillance, ensuring no key safety events are missed)
• To assess the accuracy for malaria diagnosis of two different malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) used in comparison to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (this is directly linked to efficacy as determined by RDTs)
