5 India 5 All drugs are registered VL Treatments in use: Miltefosine monotherapy: 28 days conventional Amphotericin B: up to 30 days WHO Recommendation: No published data in Primary Health Care Setting Implementation plan conducted in PHC to evaluate treatments in a wider patient population in Bihar, India Assess the effectiveness Evaluate the safety profile Single dose AmB 10mg/kg on D 1 Combination: AmB 5mg/kg on D1 + MF D 2-8 MF + PM Day 1-10 AmB 5mg/kg on D1 + PM D 2-11 Assess if there are any important adverse outcomes in specific patient groups

6 6 Project Implementation with Partners Key Implementing Partners State Health Society Bihar: All the Doctors and supporting staff from Government, working at the District Hospital and PHCs. Rajendra Memorial Research Institute Patna, as site and training support Médecins Sans Frontières partners in Vaishali district LSHTM, ITM-Antwerp

7 Sites participating in VL PV Saran: District Hospital: Chhapra PHCs: Maraurah, Dariyapur, Baniyapur and Parsa Vaishali: District Hospital: Hajipur PHCs: Vaishali, Garaul, Mahua, Raghopur, and Mahnar

8 Project Design 8 Open label, prospective, non randomised, non comparative, multicentre, observational study assessing safety & effectiveness of new treatment PHC District Hospital/ Referral centre Sites PHCs in 2-3 districts in Bihar eg Vaishali, Saran 5+ PHC 5+ PHC 1-2 sites eg. District Hospital Referral Centres (special cases) Treatments Milt + PM for 10 d AmB (5) + Milt for 7d SDA Other VL treatments if SDA contraindicated Sample Size Safety: 2000 patients - 86% probability and 3000 patients - 95% probability that 1 ADR will be detected (expected incidence of 1/1000) Effectiveness: 300 patients treated, a failure risk of 5% could be estimated with at least 5% precision.

9 Key components of the project 9 Step 1- initial piloting Active monitoring & evaluation Surveillance register Safety (PV) Treatment Compliance Duration: 1-2 years Sites: 1-2 District hospitals and 10+ PHCs No. of patients: At least 1000 (300 per treatment) Follow up: 6 & 12 month follow up visit for efficacy Data review Step 2 consolidation/reporting Continue Surveillance register Continue PV Duration: 2-3 years Sites: Potential for implementation in other endemic areas by NCP and SHS. No. of patients: approximately monthly PUR. Long term reporting of AEs will be handed over to the NPP

14 Challenges to consider 15 Registration status required for implementation? EC and RA Approval Process Requirements for collecting additional data Clinical trial or not? Efficacy, safety or both? Special populations - young children, pregnant women etc. Patient registries eg pregnancy registry Feasibility of new treatments in resource limited setting? Revising & Implementing national treatment guidelines Status of National Pharmacovigilance program Collecting data in busy health centres / hospitals Training health care workers
