Molecular Assessment of Drug Resistance Markers in Asymptomatic Malaria Cases in Myanmar Artemisinin Resistance Containment Zones and Malaria Antibody Kinetic Analysis

Detailed Description

This study is longitudinal and observational cohort study to detect the drug resistance molecular markers in asymptomatic malaria infected local residents in study site. Only local residence who are not migrants, are recruited in the study and active and passive surveillance have been carried out within one year observation period. At the time of enrollment, blood film examination, rapid diagnosis test (RDT) testing have been done all together with the collection of the venous blood (about 1-2 mL) that would be used for molecular analysis later. All of the RDT or microscopy positive cases were treated according to the National Malaria Treatment Policy in Myanmar. A total of at least 1000 participants have been recruited in the study. Active case detection has been done in every three months. The venous blood were used for molecular based detection of the asymptomatic malaria infection by using High-throughout pooling strategy. All of the positive samples, (falciparum and vivax), have been checked for drug resistance molecular analaysis compared with the previously collected symptomatic malaria infection cases in the same region.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of the Asymptomatic malaria infection
Time Frame: 2016 March
Number of the asymptomatic malaria infection by molecular method in the sample collected from apparently healthy individuals. It have been done by nested PCR based method. Number of the asymptomatic infection will be finished in March 2016. (up to up to 5 months after last samples collection)
2016 March

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of the cases that showed drug resistance molecular markers in asymptomatic malaria infection
Time Frame: 2016 April
K13, Pffd, Pfmdr2 and Pfcrt markers for falciparum and Pvcrt-O, Pvdhps, Pvdhfr and Pvmdr1 for vivax asymptomatic infections.The target sequences will be analysed to detect the specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). Molecular marker analysis will be done as soon as after asymptomatic infection have been confirmed. It will be finished in 2016 April. (up to 6 months after last sample collection)
2016 April
Prevalence of the different Malaria Antibody in local resident in Myanmar
Time Frame: 2016 December
Malaria antibody that against the malaria parasites will be assessed by using high sensitive protein microarray. Total overall prevalence will be assessed and time to time change of the antibody status will be observed. It will be started in April until December 2016.(Up to 14 months after last sample collection)
2016 December

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2015

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
