The hypothesis is that eliminating the parasite reservoir within the household will provide a complementary layer of protection against Malaria in Pregnancy especially when access to care is limited and visits may be delayed or missed.\n\nAim 1: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of a Focal Mass Drug Administration program with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine as a novel component of the Malaria in Pregnancy prevention package. The study team will conduct an open-label, randomized pilot study at a primary health center in rural western Uganda. The household members of women presenting to their first antenatal Clinic visit will be randomized 1:1:1: to (i) control (ii) one-time Focal Mass Drug Administration, or (iii) monthly Focal Mass Drug Administration. Using an established implementation framework, the study team will assess process measures such as the proportion of household members reached, willingness to take Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine, adherence to the course of treatment, and frequency of adverse events.\n\nAim 2: Estimate the efficacy of Focal Mass Drug Administration to create a \"safe zone\" in the immediate home environment and ultimately prevent Malaria in Pregnancy. Using the study design outlined in Aim 1, The study team will follow participating pregnant women and associated households through delivery, including longitudinal assessments of P. falciparum infection. As a pilot study, the trial is deliberately not powered for statistical tests of significance, but The study team will measure the incidence of (i) clinical malaria, defined as the presence of typical symptoms (e.g., fever, lethargy) and a positive malaria rapid diagnostic test (Rapid Diagnostic Test), (ii) asymptomatic P. falciparum parasitemia and placental malaria by Polymerase Chain Reaction throughout pregnancy and (iii) the incidence of adverse birth outcomes (e.g., stillbirth, low birth weight). In addition, the study team will measure the prevalence of asymptomatic parasitemia in household members using Rapid Diagnostic Tests at three time points to estimate the effectiveness of Focal Mass Drug Administration at maintaining a parasite-free zone",[58,64,68],{"label":59,"type":60,"description":61,"interventionNames":62},"A single dose of Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine","EXPERIMENTAL","A single administration of Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine as a focal mass drug administration Focal Mass Drug Administration.",[63],"Drug: Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine",{"label":65,"type":60,"description":66,"interventionNames":67},"Monthly dose of Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine","Monthly doses of Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine for household members",[63],{"label":69,"type":70,"description":71,"interventionNames":49},"Control","NO_INTERVENTION","Participants in this arm will receive current standard of care.",[73],{"type":74,"name":75,"description":76,"armGroupLabels":77,"otherNames":78},"DRUG","Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine","A single or monthly dose of Dihydroartemisinin Piperaquine based on weight will be taken orally.",[59,65],[79],"Focal Mass Drug Administration",[81],{"name":82,"affiliation":5,"role":83},"Ross Boyce, MD","PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR",[85],{"name":86,"role":87,"phone":88,"phoneExt":49,"email":89},"Boyce","CONTACT","(919) 932-0688","roboyce@med.unc.edu",[91],{"facility":92,"status":93,"city":94,"state":49,"zip":49,"country":95,"countryCode":96,"cosmosGeoPoint":97,"geoPoint":102,"contacts":49},"Bugoye Level III Health Center","RECRUITING","Kasese","Uganda","UG",{"type":98,"coordinates":99},"Point",[100,101],30.08333,0.18333,{"lat":101,"lon":100},{"type":104,"investigatorFullName":49,"investigatorTitle":49,"investigatorAffiliation":49,"oldNameTitle":49,"oldOrganization":49},"SPONSOR",[106],{"name":107,"class":108},"National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)","NIH","100594590","early-phase-1-focal-mass-drug-administration-for-the-prevention-of-malaria-in-pregnancy-100594590",false,"NCT07021430","Focal Mass Drug Administration for the Prevention of Malaria in Pregnancy","Focal Mass Drug Administration for the Prevention of Malaria in Pregnancy: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Primary residence (i.e., where a person lives for ≥ 6 months per year) in Kasese District with no plans to change residency in subsequent 6 months\n* Able and willing to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study\n* Able and willing to consent to study procedures as documented on informed consent form.
