OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) will be hosting a webinar on the radical cure of P. vivax malaria and what we can do better on 3 February 2022 at 12pm GMT. Find out more and sign up here to join our one-hour research webinar with presentations and an expert discussion.
Two new studies using WWARN-hosted clinical trial data show that the dosing of the 8-aminoquinoline drugs primaquine and tafenoquine can be substantially improved. These analyses include the majority of all studied P. vivax malaria patients who received 8-aminoquinoline drugs over the last 20 years. Laboratory work confirms these findings and provides important new information on the mechanism of action of these essential medicines.
Speakers
· Dr Rob Commons, Menzies School of Health Research, on 8AQ efficacy in clinical trials
· Dr Alison Roth, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, on laboratory studies assessing hypnozoitocidal activity
· Dr James Watson, Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, on the reassessment of tafenoquine pharmacometrics
· Discussion chaired by Dr Chau Nguyen Hoang, Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, and Professor Sir Nicholas White, Mahidol Oxford Research Unit
