TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Safety and efficacy of artesunate-amodiaquine for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Burundi
Official scientific title Safety and efficacy of artesunate-amodiaquine in four sentinel sites in Burundi for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial The first line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in Burundi is artesunate-amodiaquine. The last study evaluating the efficacy of artesunate-amodiaquine was conducted in 2015-2016 and the efficacy was 92,5%.
