الوصف: We tested the efficacy and safety of chlorproguanil/dapsone co-administered with artesunate (CD+A) for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in children compared with amodiaquine+sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (AQ+SP) at two different sites in Rwanda. The trial was open label and 800 patients were randomly assigned to AQ+SP (n=400) or CD+A (n=400). Patients were hospitalised for 3 days and then followed-up weekly until Day 28 after treatment. Clinical and parasitological outcomes were recorded. Results showed that neither treatment was adequately efficacious. At one site, the adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR), PCR-adjusted, was 73.3% in the CD+A arm and 87.8% in the AQ+SP arm (P
