The Keystone Symposia Meeting on ‘Malaria: Confronting Challenges From Drug Discovery to Treatment’ held in Breckenridge, CO, USA, from Apr 10-13, 2022, addressed the pressing need to accelerate the development of new antimalarials that can treat Plasmodium falciparum parasites that have acquired resistance to existing first-line drugs.
The specific aims of the event were:
- Review recent innovations in antimalarial drug discovery
- Examine preclinical and clinical models to test compounds in development
- Review the efficacy of ACTs across different endemic settings and discuss current approaches to reducing the disease burden
- Review the current status of antimalarial resistance, including mechanistic studies and how they inform our understanding of drug modes of action
- Discuss new medicines, and prophylaxis, treatment and transmission-blocking strategies.
