Project Title

Validation of New Biomarkers for Monitoring Plasmodium falciparum Reduced susceptibility/Tolerance or Resistance to Artemisinin Derivatives and Partner Drugs in Nigeria

EDCTP Project

TA.2007.40200.016

EDCTP Program

EDCTP1

EDCTP Project Call

Senior Fellowship (SF)

Host Organisation

Department	Institution	Country
	University of Ibadan	Nigeria

Project Objectives

1. Evaluate clinical treatment response parameters, in vitro and in vivo efficacy and drug blood levels of artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and artesunate-amodiaquine (AS-AQ) combinations in patients’ infected with P. falciparum in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria 2. Use the PCR, DNA sequencing approaches to identify new biomarkers/ molecular determinants of P. falciparum response to ARTs and Partner drugs in vitro and in vivo 3. Validate the role of new biomarkers/molecular determinants of P. falciparum response to ARTs and partner drugs by collating SNPs/SNPs patterns in parasite genes with clinical treatment response parameters, patients’ treatment outcome, blood drug levels and in vitro quantitative responses (phenotypes).

Study Design

In vitro and in vivo bio-markers studies

Results & Outcomes

Five major sub-studies were completed. The capacity building programme at the grantee’s laboratory at the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, in Nigeria has been improved and has been used to train several students.
