Study Groups

WWARN facilitates a number of collaborative Study Groups to undertake individual patient data meta-analyses to answer specific research questions about malaria treatments and antimalarial drug resistance. Gathering and combining data sets from multiple studies increases sample sizes, so that effects, including smaller effects, and effects on sub-populations can be identified with greater certainty. Working together and combining data from different regions and populations is improving our understanding of drug resistance and strengthening global efforts to control and eventually eliminate malaria.

This is an extension of a planned dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) Safety Study Group, which aims to consider the effect of HIV disease and co-administration of widely-used antiretroviral (ARVs) on the safety of DP. Due to a lack of available DP studies, the individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis will have greater public health value when these results were compared to other ACTs.
