Azithromycin (AZ) and Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for Malaria Prevention in Pregnant Women (IPT-AZ/IPT-SP)

Study Description
Brief Summary:

AZITHROMYCIN VERSUS SULPHADOXINE-PYRIMETHAMINE FOR PROPHYLAXIS AGAINST MALARIA IN PREGNANCY IN OWO, SOUIHWESTERN NIGERIA: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

OBJECTIVE: This study is to compare the efficacy of Azithromycin versus sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine as options of chemoprophylaxis against malaria in pregnancy.

METHOD: This is a randomized controlled trial with parallel assignment that will be conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of the Federal Medical Centre. One hundred and sixty four (164) pregnant women who are eligible will be randomly allocated to 2 groups (A and B) of 84 each, using computer generated random numbers. Group A will receive sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for malaria prophylaxis while Group B will receive azithromycin. All other aspects of antenatal care till delivery will be the same for all the women recruited. Maternal venous blood samples for malaria parasitaemia will be collected on recruitment and repeated at follow-up visits at any gestation there are symptoms of malaria; maternal peripheral blood film, placental and cord blood samples will be collected at delivery. All data will be documented in the data collection sheet. The results obtained will be subjected to statistical analysis using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21, Armonk, NY:IBM. The level of significance will be set at 5%. Outcomes will be compared across groups using Chi-square.

Study design and Patient recruitment

The design is a randomized comparative controlled study. Candidates for the study will be recruited from the antenatal booking clinic of our institution after being duly informed that participation is voluntary. Informed consent will be obtained after the purpose, procedure, benefits, discomfort, risks and precautions associated with the study have been dully explained to them. Due diligence will be taken in adequately responding to any question or concern raised about the study. It will fully be explained to them that their participation is entirely voluntary. Also, if they are unwilling at any point to participate, they will be completely at liberty to discontinue their participation in the study which will not in any away affect their further and adequate management in the hospital. It will be explained that their participation in the study will not have any negative impact on them and their unborn babies and it has no financial benefits but the outcomes of the study may contribute to improved antenatal care. However, if there is additional financial cost (though not immediately foreseen) to any patient outside the cost of routine ANC visit, the investigator shall arrange for modest compensation. Consented eligible pregnant woman will be recruited and those enrolled will be alloted into the two groups A and B of SP and Azithromycin respectively using a computer program (SPSS software version 21, Armonk, NY:IBM) generated sequence of numbers. Sequentially numbered sealed envelope containing either SP or AZ labelled will be allotted one after the other to participants. The personnel involved in the data collection and laboratory staff analyzing the samples will all not be aware of which group of patient is taking SP or Azithromycin while the doctors involved in administering the medication and the patients will be aware of which is being administered.
