Antimalarials
• Pioneering trials of artemisinin combination
therapies for the treatment of malaria. These
studies have dramatically cut the death rate from
malaria in Southeast Asia, helped to prevent the
emergence and spread of resistance, and have
provided the biological, economic and clinical
basis for changes in global antimalarial treatment
recommendations.
• Creation and early testing in Kenya of a low-cost
and effective antimalarial treatment, ‘Lapdap’.
This new drug is now being trialled as a combination
with an artemisinin derivative (artesunate) to enhance
and safeguard its efficacy.
