Protective efficacy and safety of three antimalarial regimens for the prevention of malaria in young Ugandan children: A randomized controlled trial [1]

Chemoprevention offers a promising strategy for prevention of malaria in African children. However, the optimal chemoprevention drug and dosing strategy is unclear in areas of year-round transmission and resistance to many antimalarial drugs. To compare three available regimens, we conducted an open-label randomized controlled trial of chemoprevention in Ugandan children.
