Brief Summary: Malaria is a life-threatening disease especially in small children A high degree of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to chloroquine has already spread to South-Benin where this study is taking place In the past few years the recommendation for a first-line treatment in this area has moved from chloroquine to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine SP There is growing evidence that Plasmodium falciparum resistance to SP has come to South-Benin The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of SP to two compact artemisinin-based therapies ACT artemether-lumefantrine and the amodiaquine-artesunate coformulation ACT will be unsupervised

The primary endpoint is an effectiveness comparison PCR corrected at day 28 Secondary outcomes are effectiveness comparisons PCR corrected at day 14 and 42 and a study on the relationships between ACT PK data day 3 and outcome

Expected total enrollment 225 patients

Study start April 2007 expected completion December 2007
