Editor’s summary
The determinants of treatment response are multi-factorial, but reaching adequate blood concentrations is pivotal to cure. Pharmacokinetic data can inform on optimal dosing, but only small number of patients have been studied, with even less conducted in the most vulnerable populations. A better understanding of the pharmacokinetic properties of antimalarials and a more clear definition of what constitutes “therapeutic drug levels” would allow more precise use of the term “antimalarial resistance”, as it would indicate when treatment failure is not caused by intrinsic parasite resistance but is the result of inadequate drug levels.

Editor’s summary
This paper addresses an important issue in monitoring in vitro drug susceptibility and predicting drug usefulness and policy. The concern raised is that standard methods tend to overestimate EC50s in a population because of the poor fit with the least susceptible (most resistant) parasite isolates. They propose that this can be corrected by using a Bayesian approach, which leads to lower (more realistic) estimates.

Editor’s summary
The paper compares various statistical methods for looking at clinical efficacy of antimalarial drugs. Realistic data and scenarios show clearly how different approaches for the analysis yield very different estimates of the actual clinical efficacy. With highly efficacious ACTs in almost all regions, it is suggested that the appropriate trial design should now be a non-inferiority trial, rather than the conventional superiority trial, to estimate efficacy with any precision.
