Detailed Description
An exploratory study to examine the efficacy and safety of imatinib mesylate in combination with dihydroartemisinin plus piperaquine on suppression of parasitemia in patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
In vitro studies of P. falciparum parasitized erythrocytes demonstrate that inhibitors of the protein tyrosine kinase SYK prevent malaria parasite egress from infected red blood cells and thereby terminate the parasite's life cycle.
Although no potent syk kinase inhibitors were approved for human use at the time of initiation of this study, a bcr-abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (imatinib mesylate (Gleevec®)) that also exhibits off-target inhibition of syk tyrosine kinase, has been FDA-approved for treatment of a number of human malignancies including chronic myelogenous leukemia and GIST.
Because imatinib can be taken daily for many years without significant toxicity, it can be used to obtain a preliminary indication of whether inhibition of erythrocyte syk kinase can suppress parasitemia in patients with P. falciparum malaria.
In a phase 1 clinical trial on the same patient population, anti-malaria activity was observed with imatinib, with little or no accompanying toxicity.
Because dihydroartemisinin plus piperaquine constitute the currently used standard-of-care therapy for malaria in Southeast Asia, the above trial will test the safety and efficacy of the combination of imatinib plus dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine in treatment of uncomplicated malaria.
In this pilot study, the rate of decrease in peripheral blood parasitemia in 30 adult male patients with uncomplicated malaria will be compared to the same rate of decrease in parasitemia in 30 adult male patients treated solely with dihydroartemisinin plus piperaquine.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Imatinib combination therapy
Administration of imatinib (400 mg/day) plus dihydroartemisinin (40 mg/day) plus piperaquine (320 mg/day) to uncomplicated adult male malaria patients.
Normal health parameters will be monitored continuously to evaluate safety and the decrease in peripheral blood parasitemia with time will be quantitated to assess efficacy.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Time to Parasite Clearance
Time Frame: From baseline to the time point when the blood parasite count is zero (up to a maximum of 5 days)
|
Parasite clearance was determined by assessing the parasite count in blood, using thin film, thick film and qPCR analysis
|
From baseline to the time point when the blood parasite count is zero (up to a maximum of 5 days)
|
28-day Cure Rate
Time Frame: Day 28
|
28-day cure rate was defined as the percentage of participants with blood parasite count of zero after 28 days of treatment and no evidence of recurrent infection with the same parasite genotype after reduction of the asexual parasitemia.
Follow up after treatment will only be performed in the case of complete clearance of parasites at D5 due to Imatinib treatment.
