# Cambios [[2024/02]] - ## Mensaje de [[Ale]] el [[2024/02/20]] - #+BEGIN_VERSE Hola Borja. De acuerdo en moverlo en esta dirección. Busquemos que el proyecto sea **reconocible por sus actividades y gente** lo antes posible, y poder usarla para **generar colaboraciones y claridad en el ámbito de salud global y NTDs** . Van respuestas en rojo intercaladas a tus comentarios. Tenemos pendiente definir que hacer con las [[Redes sociales]]. Ya van 8 meses de proyecto y podemos hacer un balance. Destacaría el Estudio ALIVE en la página inicial. Y sumar a los nombres de la gente. Arranquemos con el Steering Committee y pidiendo datos, opiniones, fotos, CV; lo que mejor les parezca. Hasta se podría reflejar Annual meeting, visitas a [[WHO]] y a [[Ghana]] si se busca dar algo de color #+END_VERSE - - Hay que incorporar mucha información técnica que permita a otros investigadores conocer los detalles del proyecto.

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 - - - # Mensaje a [[Nerea]] con las instrucciones - Hola, [[Nerea]]: Te adjunto las instrucciones de lo que tenemos que empezar a cambiar de la página [[web]]: - ## HOME - ### Background - Especificar que la novel formulation es una fixed-dose coformulation de [[Ivermectina]] y [[Albendazol]]. - Especificar que esta fixed-dose coformulation de ivm/alb has the lowest [[level]] of investment risk of all candidates for Combinations for [[STH]] treatment (fuente: Soil Transmitted Helminths Drug Combinations Expert Meeting, 2016, Gates Foundation) - Una referencia explícita al Estudio ALIVE: https://gatesopenresearch.org/articles/6-62/v1 - Los achievements de los STOP previos - Qualification at EMA for [[article]] 58 (ahora se llama Meds4All, creo) - Proved safety of ivermectin of up to 600ug/kg both alone and in coformulation with [[albendazole]] - Demonstrated efficacy of the FDC against T. trichiura -
