Amodiaquine is a 4-aminoquinoline antimalarial similar to chloroquine that is used extensively for the treatment and prevention of malaria. Data on the cardiovascular effects of amodiaquine are scarce, although transient effects on cardiac electrophysiology (electrocardiographic QT interval prolongation and sinus bradycardia) have been observed. We conducted an individual patient data meta-analysis to characterise the cardiovascular effects of amodiaquine and thereby support development of risk minimisation measures to improve the safety of this important antimalarial. Studies of amodiaquine for the treatment or prevention of malaria were identified from a systematic review. Heart rates and QT intervals with study-specific heart rate correction (QTcS) were compared within studies and individual patient data pooled for multivariable linear mixed effects regression. The meta-analysis included 2,681 patients from 4 randomised controlled trials evaluating artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) containing amodiaquine (n = 725), lumefantrine (n = 499), piperaquine (n = 716), and pyronaridine (n = 566), as well as monotherapy with chloroquine (n = 175) for uncomplicated malaria. Amodiaquine prolonged QTcS (mean = 16.9 ms, 95% CI: 15.0 to 18.8) less than chloroquine (21.9 ms, 18.3 to 25.6, p = 0.0069) and piperaquine (19.2 ms, 15.8 to 20.5, p = 0.0495), but more than lumefantrine (5.6 ms, 2.9 to 8.2, p < 0.001) and pyronaridine (−1.2 ms, −3.6 to +1.3, p < 0.001). In individuals aged ≥12 years, amodiaquine reduced heart rate (mean reduction = 15.2 beats per minute [bpm], 95% CI: 13.4 to 17.0) more than piperaquine (10.5 bpm, 7.7 to 13.3, p = 0.0013), lumefantrine (9.3 bpm, 6.4 to 12.2, p < 0.001), pyronaridine (6.6 bpm, 4.0 to 9.3, p < 0.001), and chloroquine (5.9 bpm, 3.2 to 8.5, p < 0.001) and was associated with a higher risk of potentially symptomatic sinus bradycardia (≤50 bpm) than lumefantrine (risk difference: 14.8%, 95% CI: 5.4 to 24.3, p = 0.0021) and chloroquine (risk difference: 8.0%, 95% CI: 4.0 to 12.0, p < 0.001). The effect of amodiaquine on the heart rate of children aged <12 years compared with other antimalarials was not clinically significant. Study limitations include the unavailability of individual patient-level adverse event data for most included participants, but no serious complications were documented. While caution is advised in the use of amodiaquine in patients aged ≥12 years with concomitant use of heart rate–reducing medications, serious cardiac conduction disorders, or risk factors for torsade de pointes, there have been no serious cardiovascular events reported after amodiaquine in widespread use over 7 decades. Amodiaquine and structurally related antimalarials in the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended dose regimens alone or in ACTs are safe for the treatment and prevention of malaria. In this meta-analysis, Xin Hui Supanee Chan and colleagues investigate the cardiovascular effects of amodiaquine and structurally-related antimalarials using individual patient data from trials. Amodiaquine is a widely used antimalarial for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) artesunate–amodiaquine (ASAQ) is a first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in >20 malaria endemic countries. Amodiaquine is also the backbone of amodiaquine + sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine, the only drug regimen recommended for seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) given annually to millions of children aged 3 to 59 months across the African Sahel. As with other structurally related antimalarials, transient prolongation of the electrocardiographic QT interval and sinus bradycardia has been observed after amodiaquine, but these cardiovascular effects are not well understood. We conducted secondary analyses, including meta-analyses with multivariable linear mixed effects regression models, of individual patient data from studies of amodiaquine for malaria identified from a systematic review. We included data from 2,681 patients from 4 randomised controlled trials evaluating ACTs containing amodiaquine (n = 725), lumefantrine (n = 499), piperaquine (n = 716), and pyronaridine (n = 566), as well as monotherapy with chloroquine (n = 175) for uncomplicated malaria. Amodiaquine prolonged the QT interval assessed with study-specific heart rate correction (QTcS) less than chloroquine and piperaquine, but more than lumefantrine and pyronaridine. Amodiaquine was also associated with a higher risk of potentially symptomatic sinus bradycardia compared with other front-line antimalarials in adults and adolescents aged ≥12 years but not in children aged <12 years. While caution is advised when using amodiaquine in patients aged ≥12 years who are taking other drugs that reduce heart rate or have serious heart conditions for which heart rate reduction would be undesirable, there have been no serious cardiovascular events reported after extensive use of amodiaquine over 7 decades. Our analysis supports the cardiovascular safety of amodiaquine and structurally related antimalarials in the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended dose regimens alone or in ACTs for the treatment and prevention of malaria.
