High Prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum K13 Mutations in Rwanda Is Associated With Slow Parasite Clearance After Treatment With Artemether-Lumefantrine

Judith Straimer et al.

Summary: Mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum K13 gene have caused treatment failures in malaria patients receiving artemisinin combination therapies in Southeast Asia. Until recently, relevant K13 mutations had been mostly absent from Africa. A phase 2 clinical study in Mali, Gabon, Ghana, Uganda, and Rwanda reported a 22% allele frequency for R561H in Rwanda and associated delayed parasite clearance.

Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Causal Prophylactic Efficacy of KAF156 in a Plasmodium falciparum Human Infection Study

James G. Kublin et al.

Summary: KAF156, a novel antimalarial drug with high protective efficacy, was found to be safe and well tolerated in a controlled human malaria infection model. Different doses of KAF156 showed varying levels of protection against malaria infection, with higher doses providing greater protection.

Defining the Antimalarial Activity of Cipargamin in Healthy Volunteers Experimentally Infected with Blood-Stage Plasmodium falciparum

James S. McCarthy et al.

Summary: The new antimalarial compound cipargamin showed antimalarial activity in healthy volunteers infected with blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum, although some subjects experienced serious liver function changes during treatment. Further evaluation of the compound's hepatic safety profile is needed despite the promising antimalarial activity observed.

Association of Plasmodium falciparum kelch13 R561H genotypes with delayed parasite clearance in Rwanda: an open-label, single-arm, multicentre, therapeutic efficacy study

Aline Uwimana et al.

Summary: This study confirms the emergence of artemisinin partial resistance in Rwanda. Although artemether-lumefantrine remains efficacious, vigilance for decreasing efficacy and further characterization of artemisinin partial resistance should be considered. Evaluation of additional antimalarials in Rwanda is also recommended.

Evidence of Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria in Africa

Betty Balikagala et al.

Summary: Research conducted in Northern Uganda revealed the emergence of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains, with predominant mutations found in the kelch13 gene. Thirteen patients were infected with P. falciparum parasites carrying mutations in the A675V or C469Y allele, which were associated with prolonged parasite clearance half-lives.

Transmission of Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria Parasites to Mosquitoes under Antimalarial Drug Pressure

Kathrin Witmer et al.

Summary: Resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in the Plasmodium falciparum parasite threatens recent progress in reducing global malaria deaths. Under artemisinin drug pressure, resistant parasites have a selective advantage in transmission, potentially leading to the spread of multidrug-resistant malaria beyond Southeast Asia.
