Funded Activity Summary

Every year, severe malaria kills up to 800,000 people worldwide. To prevent death, a patient must be treated promptly and effectively. Children and adults vary in terms of their response to a malaria drug, and therefore may require a different dosing regimen. We will perform a rigorous analytical assessment of antimalarial drug concentration and efficacy data to determine dosing regimens. This will improve the treatment of severe malaria, and thereby, reduce malaria-related mortality.
