Nutritional treatment of children 6 –59 months with severely low weight-for-age z-score: a study protocol for a 3-arm randomized controlled trial
This study will address whether children with WAZ< −3 but MUAC ≥125 mm benefit from therapeutic feeding with ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) and whether a simplified protocol is non-inferior to the weight-based standard protocol.MethodsThis is a prospective individually randomized controlled 3-arm trial conducted in the Nara health district in Mali. Children aged 6 –59 months presenting with MUAC ≥125 mm and WAZ< −3 will be randomized to (1) control group receiving no treatment, (2) simplified treatment receiving 1 sachet of RUTF daily until WAZ ≥−3 for 2 visits, (3) standard treatment receiving R...

Master statistical analysis plan: attractive targeted sugar bait phase III trials in Kenya, Mali, and Zambia
AbstractThis manuscript is a master statistical analysis plan for each of three-cluster randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSB) described in an already published protocol. The master SAP contains an overarching plan for all three trials, which can be adapted to trial-specific circumstances. The primary objective of the trials is to evaluate the efficacy of ATSB in the presence of universal vector control coverage with insecticide-treated nets (ITN) or indoor residual spraying (IRS) after two transmission seasons on clinical malaria incidence as compared with universal...

Statistical analysis plan for the LAKANA trial: a cluster-randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, parallel group, three-arm clinical trial testing the effects of mass drug administration of azithromycin on mortality and other outcomes among 1 –11-month-old infants in Mali
ConclusionThe SAP written prior to data collection completion will help avoid reporting bias and data-driven analysis for the primary and secondary aims of the trial. If there are deviations from the analysis methods described here, they will be described and justified in the publications of the trial results.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov IDNCT04424511.
