NCT01634945

Brief Summary

The proposed project is aimed at testing two interventions, namely a highly bioavailable iron compound and a combination of SP plus amodiaquine for intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) of malaria, to reduce anaemia in very young children.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hemoglobin

    The study population will consist of 12 to 36-month-old infants in villages covered by the Taabo DSS site. Assuming a mean Hb of 97.3±19.6 g/l and that an increase of 8 g/l in Hb would be clinically relevant, and allowing for a dropout rate of 20%, we calculated that 125 infants per group were initially needed to achieve a power level of 90% at a 5% level of significance.

    9 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Iron status indicators (SF, TfR)

    9 months

  • Malaria prevalence
