hydroxyurea has been researched along with Malaria in 14 studies
Malaria: A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

Malaria is defined as the presence of P. falciparum or P. malariae on the peripheral smear of any child brought in for medical evaluation of fever. P. vivax, P. ovale and P. knowlesi are not known to be present in this region, but if a child is seen with suspected infection with any of these malaria parasites, this will also be recorded as a case of malaria. Incidence will be reported in the number of cases per 100 patient years. (NCT01976416)

An expected toxicity rate of 20% and acceptable toxicity rate of 30% were used for statistical calculations. After 53 participants at each site complete 3 months of therapy, if ≤ 15 participants have hematologic toxicity there is no early evidence against safety. If ≥ 15 of the initial participants experience toxicity, this is early evidence against safety. Future participants will begin at a lower dose of hydroxyurea (10 ± 2.5 mg/kg), with another 53 participants recruited of the same safety analysis. Upon final analysis of 133 participants at the same starting dose, safety for fixed-dose hydroxyurea can be concluded. (NCT01966731)
