Actual (reported)Human African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has made a spectacular return during the last decade, and in many places the demand largely surpasses the capacities of the treatment centers. Treatment of the disease remains unsatisfactory. All currently used drugs must be administered parenterally, treatment is lengthy, and adverse drug reactions frequent. There are currently no drugs that are easily administered and have low toxicity, and might thus be used as tools to support disease control. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of DB289, a new, orally administered dication prodrug to pentamidine i.m. injection for the treatment of first stage sleeping sickness. The project will be executed in the framework of an international consortium consisting of several partners from academia, industry and from the Democratic Republic of Congo Ministries of Health.

Actual (reported)The primary efficacy endpoint was the parasitological cure at 3 months after completion of treatment.
3 months
The primary outcome measure for safety analysis was the rate of occurrence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events during the observation period.
12 day
The secondary outcome measure was the incidence rate of adverse events (all Grades combined) during the 7- to 9-day observation period in Treatment Sequence 1 and during the 12-day observation period in Treatment Sequence 2.
12 day
The number and percentage of subjects with parasitological cure, subjects with confirmed (parasitological) treatment failure, and subjects with suspected treatment failure at 6, 12, and 24 months after completion of treatment.
