A new study suggests that there are important but neglected issues with falsified and substandard medicines used to treat diabetes and that “no country is immune”.

WWARN’s Clinical Scientific Group have published research in BMC Medical Research methodology and Malaria Journal comparing different statistical approaches for deriving cumulative estimates of drug efficacy from clinical studies. Results indicate that the Cumulative Incidence Function (CIF) approac...

IDDO has launched a new global Chagas scientific collaboration with the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi). The new platform will collate and standardise data to accelerate better treatments for the 6–7 million people worldwide with Chagas disease.

An IDDO/WWARN study has found that primaquine is not associated with increased levels of anaemia following treatment of patients without G6PD deficiency for P. vivax malaria and should be used as part of a radical cure. In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers carried out a systematic r...

Teams from IDDO and WWARN are excited to once again be taking part in the European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health, ECTMIH.

Researchers have found that severe malnutrition is associated with lower exposure to the antimalarial drug lumefantrine in children treated with artemether-lumefantrine, the most common treatment for uncomplicated falciparum malaria. The study, which is the first to specifically address this, has be...

There’s still time to apply for a National Institute for Health Research, NIHR, Global Health Policy and Systems Research Development Award.

WWARN hosted a successful workshop in West Africa aimed at improving researchers’ skills. The aim of the workshops was two-fold; to train researchers in best practice of designing, conducting, analysing and reporting antimalarial drug clinical trials, and also to build expertise within the region.

New research published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases has found that a longer follow-up is required to assess antimalarial drug efficacy in pregnant women. This was found across all drugs assessed in low malaria transmission settings. The report’s authors have called for guidelines specifically f...
