Severe malaria care, including severe anaemia and kidney dysfunction.
The approach
SMAART-MAP is a multisite adaptive platform trial.
The SMAART-MAP trial is part of the Severe Malaria A Research and Trials consortium, a research collaboration investigating care for children hospitalised with severe malaria.
At St Paul’s Hospital in Nchelenge District, the study is designed to enrol 300 children aged three months to twelve years. Its research includes approaches to severe anaemia and kidney dysfunction associated with severe malaria.
NHRTI’s work on the study is led by Principal Investigator Dr Mike Chaponda in collaboration with Imperial College London. The research aims to generate evidence that can inform the treatment and care of affected children.
