9 July 2009 2 | GLOBAL MALARIA PROGRAMME The built-in chemical instability of artemisinin and its derivatives, necessary for their biological action, causes pharmaceutical problems both in the manufacturing process and in the co-formulation with other compounds. The problems of instability are accelerated under tropical conditions. The requirement for observing stringent quality manufacturing standards are particularly important for these compounds, for which manufacturers and national regulatory authorities have limited experience. Differences in product quality selection criteria create opportunities for sub-standard artemisinin-based antimalarial medicines to access international funds for procurement, and discourage compliance with more stringent quality standards. Quality requirements of artemisinin-based antimalarial medicines

Malaria Diagnostics June 23 2009 Malaria RDTs in context of overall Round 8 portfolio Source: TRP Report on recommended proposals, sampling of detailed budgets for largest HIV and malaria grants, and procurement reported planned in proposal Attachment B’s. Note that applicants were inconsistent in where freight, insurance, distribution, etc. costs were allocated. In most cases, it appears that these costs were included under “PSM Costs” but requires further review.

9 July 2009 20 | GLOBAL MALARIA PROGRAMME New Developments in 2007-2009 : The WHO Malaria RDT Evaluation Programme, jointly coordinated by WPRO, TDR, FIND and US CDC, completed Round 1 product testing in 2009 and publication of results allows comparative assessment of RDTs in relation to parasite detection thresholds, stability, false positivity rate, invalid test results and ease of use. Product testing, together with pre/post-shipment lot-testing, allows informed decisions for procurement agencies to take place. New WHO guidelines for Quality Assurance of Malaria Microscopy have been published and provide new and practical approaches for QA in malaria microscopy, including methods for accreditation of national expert microscopists, and routine validation of slide examination. International QA systems in place

WHO procurement criteria for malaria RDTs: evolution over time Criteria for inclusion: 2006: ISO13485:2003 or ‘sufficient equivalence’ * 2007: ISO13485:2003 or US FDA 21 CFR 820 * 2008: Only Products submitted to WHO Product- Testing Programme 2009: RDTs with good performance in product testing * Plus credible heat-stability protocol
28
9 July 2009 28 | GLOBAL MALARIA PROGRAMME Select RDTs with: – high detection rate, – low false positive rate, – low invalid rate. In populations with low immunity, higher detection of low parasitaemia is important
