	- Hay que incorporar mucha información técnica que permita a otros investigadores conocer los detalles del proyecto. La web no es solo para público general.
	- Asuntos a incluir:
		- ## Objetivos generales y objetivos específicos del proyecto.
			- *Overall goal*: Support the achievement of the [[WHO]] 2030 NTD Roadmap for [[STH]] and beyond
			- *Project purpose*: Advance and accelerate an innovative pharmacological tool to support the elimination goals against [[STH]] species, specially those poorly responsive to current treatment regimens
			- *The intervention*: A single tablet, [[Fixed-Dose Combination]] of Ivermectin and [[Albendazole]]
			- *Specific objectives*:
				- Provide a tool to support the achievement of the [[WHO]] Roadmap goals for [[STH]]
				- Submission process of [[FDC]] to EMA & national agencies in [[Ghana]] and Kenya
				- Safety and effectiveness tailored to policy makers for the control of [[STH]], including [[Strongyloides stercolaris]] and integration with other NTDs
				- Acceptability, feasibility and adherence data added to the evidence package to support [[WHO]] guidance
				- Develop a model for sustainable supply and costing
				- Model the impact of different use cases and scenarios
				- Pilot antihelmintic resistance surveillance based on genetic epidemiology

			- __Proposed safety and effectiveness study__
				- *Primary objective*: To evaluate and compare safety of a [[FDC]] against [[Albendazole]] alone via [[MDA]] in two study areas in Kenya and [[Ghana]].
				- *Secondary objectives*:
					- To evaluate the effectiveness of one round of [[MDA]] with [[FDC]] vs [[Albendazole]] against [[STH]] (T. trichiura, A. lumbricoides, hookworms) [[by]] microscopy
					- To evaluate the effectiveness of one round of [[MDA]] with [[FDC]] vs [[Albendazole]] against [[Strongyloides stercolaris]] [[by]] serology
				- *Primary goal*: Safety (incidence of SAEs)
				- *Secondary goals*: Effectiveness at 21 days and 1 [[year]]; Genomic resistance
				- *Sample size*: approx. 20k.
				- *Target population*: School based
				- *Epidemiologic conditions of the sites*: T. trichiura ongoing transmission areas
				- *Countries*: [[Ghana]] and [[Kenya]]
			- __Proposed acceptability and feasibility study__
				- *Primary goal*: Acceptability and feasibility
				- *Secondary goals*: Adherence (3-day regimen), fidelity
				- *Countries*: [[Ghana]] and [[Kenya]]
				- *Epidemiologic conditions of the sites*: Ongoing [[STH]] deworming activities
		- ## Objetivos y logros de los proyectos STOP previos (en background)
			- Qualification at EMA for art. 58
			- Safety of IVM up to 600μg/kg alone and in coformulation with albendazole
			- Demonstrated efficacy agrainst T. trichiura in a pivotal trial in Sub-Saharan Africa
			- No stopping rules were reached
			- Safety was adequate
			- Palatability results confirm adecuacy of size, taste and smell
			- Superior efficacy against T. trichiura confirms a comprehensive spectrum against STH
			- Los papers más relevantes que salieran de los previos STOP
		- ## Otros facts
			- FDC of ivm/alb has the lowest level of investment risk of all candidates for Combination for STH treatment (STH Drug Combinations Expert Meeting, BMGF, April 2016)
			- Dosing strategies for Ivermectine are being revisited
			- The fix-dose coformulation of Albendazole/Ivermectine is due to enter regulatory agencies
			- Acceptability and safety studies are underway
			- The access plan is being developed
			- Integration across programs (these results have implications beyond STH)
			- Progress has been achieved through public-private partnerships but more partners are needed to reach the ultimate goal.

		- ## Abstract del proyecto
			- [[Soil-Transmitted Helminths]] (STH) remain a significant public health problem with recognized obstacles for control and elimination with the current benzimidazole regimens in [[Mass Drug Administration]] (MDA) campaigns. Renewed targets from [[WHO]] for 2030 include elimination of [[STH]] morbidity in pre-school and school age children (PSAC & SAC), increased country governance and financial support and a strongyloidiasis control program; 2030 has also been targeted by [[WHO]] for controlling NTDs to attain the Sustainable Development Goals. 
			  
			  The current proposal aims at accelerating the implementation of an innovative [[health]] technology, a [[Fixed-Dose Combination]] (FDC) tablet of co-formulated [[albendazole]] and ivermectin, with adequate safety and significantly superior efficacy against T. trichiura in a registrational randomized clinical trial. This trial is being conducted in Ethiopia, [[Kenya]] and Mozambique with the guidance of EMA and sponsored [[by]] [[EDCTP]] (STOP projects) with a Phase II trial completed and a Phase III currently recruiting. 
			  
			  This [[project]], [[STOP2030]], seeks to complement the results of the safety and efficacy trial with a field-based safety and effectiveness clinical study, acceptability studies in [[Ghana]] and [[Kenya]], modelling and cost-effectiveness exercises. The resulting information will be consolidated to build a multidisciplinary package for policy making and [[WHO]] guidance with the support of advocacy and communication activities to reach stakeholders and maximize the exploitation and impact of the [[FDC]] for [[STH]] control and elimination. 
			  
			  The Consortium assembled to execute the [[STOP2030]] proposal combines expertise in complementary fields [[from]] program assessment and implementation through Ministries of [[Health]] in sub Saharan African countries, advocacy, state of the art technology, leadership in clinical research and a pharma that has shown commitment for generating access to drugs against NTDs and has recently obtained [[WHO]] prequalification for generic ivermectin #INFO
