Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The massive scale-up of Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLIN) has led to a major reduction in malaria burden (up to 50%) in many sub-Saharan African countries. This progress is threatened by the wide scale selection of insecticide resistant malaria vectors. New types of LLIN combining a mixture of two insecticides or an insecticide and a synergist have been developed to control resistant mosquitoes.

The efficacy of three bi-treated LLIN are compared to a standard LLIN in a four-arm, single blinded, cluster-randomized trial in Misungwi district, Tanzania. The arms are; 1/ Royal Guard, a net combining pyriproxyfen (PPF), which is known to disrupt female reproduction and fertility of eggs, and the pyrethroid alpha-cypermethrin, 2/Interceptor G2, LLIN incorporating a mixture of two adulticides with different modes of action; chlorfenapyr and a pyrethroid (alpha-cypermethrin), and 3/ Olyset Plus an LLIN which incorporates a synergist, piperonyl butoxide (PBO), to enhance the potency of pyrethroid insecticides, and 4/ The control arm: Interceptor treated a standard LLIN treated with alpha-cypermethrin.

The primary outcome of the trial will be cross-sectional community prevalence of malaria infection (by RDT) in children aged 6 months to 14 years at 12 and 24 months post-intervention.

Pyriproxyfen LLIN

Royal Guard® (Disease Control Technologies, LLC) is a Long Lasting Insecticidal Net made of polyethylene incorporating a mixture of 225 mg/m2 pyriproxyfen and 261mg/m2 alpha-cypermethrin. This LLIN will be distributed to all the households in 21 clusters on a 1 LLIN per two household residents basis.

Chlorfenapyr LLIN

Interceptor® G2 (BASF corporation) is a LLIN made of polyester coated with a wash-resistant formulation of 200 mg/m2 chlorfenapyr and 100 mg/m2 alpha-cypermethrin. This LLIN will be distributed to all the households in 21 clusters on a 1 LLIN per two household residents basis.

Piperonyl butoxide LLIN

Intervention Type OTHER

Combination insecticide and synergist Long Lasting Insecticidal Net

Standard LLIN

Interceptor® (BASF Corporation) is a single pyrethroid-treated LLIN with alpha-cypermethrin (coated onto filaments) at a target dose of 200 mg/m2 of polyester fabric. This LLIN will be distributed to all the households in 21 clusters on a 1 LLIN per two household residents basis.
