Summary

Leishmanias is a disease caused by the bite of sandflies and is found in many parts of the world including the Europe, Southwest Asia, Africa and the Middle East. This disease is a threat for military soldiers in areas where this disease is found. Sodium stibogluconate (SSG) or Pentostam (Glaxo Smith Kline, United Kingdom) is an Investigational New Drug (IND) product used by the Department of Defense for over 20 years to treat cutaneous, mucosal and visceral leishmanias. This drug is not licensed for commercial use in the United States because of very limited need for the product in the U.S.A. The primary objective of this protocol is to collect safety data on the use of Pentostam for treatment of laboratory-confirmed leishmaniasis with SSG 20mg/kg/d IV for 10 days or 20 days and visceral and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis with SSG 20mg/kg/d IV for 28 days.

Due to low enrollment, the protocol was later amended in version 11 submitted 19May2010 in serial no. 0096) to remove the efficacy objective and only collect safety data for enrolled subjects. Prior to this amendment, data were entered on case report forms (CRFs). Per the Sponsor's discretion, CRFs were no longer required and protocol-specified treatment details and safety assessments were recorded in the patients' medical records (study file) only. No data entry or statistical analyses of patient data was conducted.
