Study of rapid tests for Chagas diagnosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial is testing new rapid diagnostic tests to detect infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease. It aims to find faster ways to diagnose people who may be at risk, such as pregnant women, blood donors, or those with possible chronic infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a pregnant woman, blood donor, organ transplant recipient, or have a suspected long-term Chagas infection.

This trial compares a shorter course of benznidazole (a medicine for Chagas disease) to the standard longer treatment. It aims to see if the shorter regimen works as well and is safe for people with confirmed Chagas infection.
This trial tests a new drug called LXE408 for people with chronic Chagas disease. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective, and participants will also receive standard treatment with benznidazole.
This study looks at a heart treatment called cardiac contractility modulation in people with Chagas heart disease who have moderate symptoms and weak heart pumping. It aims to see whether this therapy improves heart function and related outcomes in the right patients.
This study tests a new rapid test that checks pregnant women for HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis during prenatal care. The goal is to see if this test works well and can help keep mothers and babies healthy.
This study evaluates a new rapid blood test that checks for HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis all at once. Researchers want to make sure the test works well, is easy to use, and gives accurate results.
This trial tests a new medicine called acoziborole to see if it can stop the spread of sleeping sickness. If you've tested positive for the infection but don't have severe symptoms yet, this might help you get treated and prevent others from getting sick.
