New research into novel antimalarial combination in Africa

15 April 2019

The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) has granted new funding of 10 million euros ($11 million) to support late-stage trials for novel antimalarial combinations, including KAF156 (ganaplacide).

The trials, which will take place in African countries, will be conducted with the Swiss not-for-profit organization Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) and Novartis (NOVN: VX), the firm behind KAF156, which will be tested in combination with a new formulation of lumefantrine.

If successful, data from these trials will support future submissions to register the medicine with regulatory authorities.
