Multi-site clinical evaluation of novel malaria diagnostic tools in malaria-endemic countries to assess their clinical performance for detection of malaria at point-of-care (POC). This study supported product development efforts and provided early stage (TRL~5) technology developers with valuable information on performance and basic feasibility data that helped accelerate development.
Clinical performance of Abbott NxTekTM RDTs for detection of Plasmodium infections in patients with symptoms suggestive of malaria to support submission to WHO prequalification.
Clinical performance of RapiGEN BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag RDTs for detection of Plasmodium infections in patients with symptoms suggestive of malaria to support submission to WHO prequalifictation.
A host antibody marker of past P. vivax infection is targeted in a lateral flow assay in development by Mologic (UK). Clinical studies with partners in Indonesia and Australia will evaluate the assay performance in two longitudinal cohort studies monitoring P. vivax clinical exposure and relapse events.
