Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Cumulative incidence of malaria infection [ Time Frame: Detected from 2 weeks after the first day of the first dose of the first course to delivery inclusive. The total duration of the trial is 24 months. Actual participant recruitment and follow up is expected to take up to 19 months. ] The primary outcome will be the cumulative incidence of malaria infection detected from 2 weeks after the first day of the first dose of the first course to delivery inclusive, defined as the presence of peripheral (maternal) or placental (maternal) Plasmodium infection detected by either molecular diagnostics (henceforth referred to as PCR), microscopy, RDT or placental histology (active infection). | — |
