Phase 1b Malaria Clinical Trial Using Argemone Mexicana in Healthy Adults in Mali

The main objective is to study the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and tolerability of the decoction of the aerial parts of Argemone mexicana (AM), administered in healthy volunteers.

This is an open non comparative safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) study clinical trial. Healthy volunteers aged from 18 to 50 years old will be recruited and followed 42 days after treatment initiation as in the current World Health Organization malaria drug protocol efficacy assessment protocol. Each volunteer will be take oral Argemone mexicana in decoction formulation.
