Lingering challenges in malaria elimination efforts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Insights and potential solutions

Health Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Introduction Between 2000 and 2015, significant gains were recorded in reducing the global burden of malaria due to enhanced global collaboration and increased funding. However, progress has stagnated post‐2015, and the COVID‐19 pandemic seems to have reversed some of these gains, necessitating a critical reevaluation of interventions.

Medication adherence framework: A population‐based pharmacokinetic approach and its application in antimalarial treatment assessments

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 795-811, May 2024.
Abstract We reported here on the development of a pharmacometric framework to assess patient adherence, by using two population‐based approaches – the percentile and the Bayesian method. Three different dosing strategies were investigated in patients prescribed a total of three doses; (1) non‐observed therapy, (2) directly observed administration of ...

Estimation of trajectory of protective efficacy in infectious disease prevention trials using recurrent event times

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 1759-1773, 30 April 2024.
In studies of infectious disease prevention, the level of protective efficacy of medicinal products such as vaccines and prophylactic drugs tends to vary over time. Many products require administration of multiple doses at scheduled times, as opposed to one‐off or continual intervention. Accurate information on the trajectory of the level of protective
