MethodsThe trial by Kakuru et al was a double-blind, randomised, controlled, three-arm trial comparing three-course dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine and monthly dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine versus the standard three-course sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine regimen as IPTp among HIV-uninfected pregnant women between 12 and 20 weeks gestation, using a 1: 1: 1 allocation. The study was conducted in an area of high sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine resistance in Uganda. The primary outcome was the prevalence of histopathology-confirmed placental malaria. Secondary outcomes included symptomatic malaria, parasitaemia, anaemia and adverse birth outcomes. Women and newborns were followed up to 6 weeks post delivery.
