Competing risk events in antimalarial drug trials in uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria: a WorldWide Antimalarial Resistance Network individual participant data meta-analysis [PDF]
Background Therapeutic efficacy studies in uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria are confounded by new infections, which constitute competing risk events since they can potentially preclude/pre-empt the detection of subsequent recrudescence of ...

World Antimalarial Resistance Network I: Clinical efficacy of antimalarial drugs [PDF]
يتيح انتشار تجارب الأدوية المضادة للملاريا في السنوات العشر الماضية الفرصة لإطلاق جهد ترصد عالمي منسق لرصد فعالية الأدوية المضادة للملاريا. إن تنوع تصاميم الدراسات السريرية والأساليب التحليلية يقوض القدرة الحالية على تحقيق ذلك. تهدف الشبكة العالمية المقترحة لمقاومة الملاريا (WARN) إلى إنشاء قاعدة بيانات سريرية شاملة يمكن من خلالها استخلاص تقديرات موحدة

The threat of antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]
La bataille entre l'homme et le paludisme se poursuit depuis des milliers d'années. Les médicaments antipaludiques sont des armes essentielles pour lutter contre la maladie, mais leur efficacité est menacée par la résistance aux médicaments qui continue d'émerger, créant un obstacle majeur à la lutte antipaludique et compromettant les espoirs ...

A database of antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]
A large investment is required to develop, license and deploy a new antimalarial drug. Too often, that investment has been rapidly devalued by the selection of parasite populations resistant to the drug action. To understand the mechanisms of selection, detailed information on the patterns of drug use in a variety of environments, and the geographic ...

Antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]
Malaria, the most prevalent and most pernicious parasitic disease of humans, is estimated to kill between one and two million people, mainly children, each year. Resistance has emerged to all classes of antimalarial drugs except the artemisinins and is responsible for a recent increase in malaria-related mortality, particularly in Africa.
