Sponsor's own description

Since their introduction in the late 90's, rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have markedly improved our ability to control malaria; yet they have inherent limitations which include low sensitivity in Plasmodium vivax detection and inability to detect hrp2/3 gene deleted Plasmodium falciparum parasites. In addition, the spread of P. falciparum parasites lacking hrp2 gene jeopardizes the long-term use of P. falciparum-specific HRP2-based RDTs. A partnership between RapiGEN, FIND, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) is addressing these limitations by developing five novel malaria RDTs with improved pLDH and HRP2 detection. RapiGEN has also developed three novel malaria RDTs - BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf/Pv (pLDH/pLDH), BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf (pLDH/HRP2) and BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf (pLDH) - to address these drawbacks. The BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf/Pv (pLDH/pLDH) is a combo test that detects P. falciparum and P. vivax on a single device. BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf (pLDH/HRP2) targets both PfLDH and HRP2 antigens in P. falciparum; and BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf (pLDH) has improved detection of pLDH in P. falciparum. In countries with circulation of hrp2/3 deleted P. falciparum malaria parasites or high P. vivax burden, these improved RDTs may be invaluable in malaria elimination. This study is a prospective and retrospective evaluation of RapiGEN's BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag RDTs in malaria-endemic countries to assess their clinical performance for detection of malaria. The purpose of this study is to provide a high level outline of the study design and conduct to support the collation of a data package for WHO Pre-Qualification proposed study.
