Summary

Professor of Paediatric Tropical Infectious Diseases at the Faculty of Medicine and Director of the ICCARE Centre at the Institute for Global Health Innovation, Imperial College, London and an Honorary Fellow at MRC Clinical Trials Unit, University College, London.

Over the last 20 years I have been based full-time at the East Africa, where I lead a research group that have highlighted the unique importance of emergency-care research, previously poorly appreciated as an area for specific funder or policy investment, as a highly targeted and cost-effective means of tackling childhood mortality in resource-limited sub-Saharan Africa. As a clinical investigator my work has focused upon understanding the pathophysiology and conducting clinical trials of emergency interventions to improve outcome. To enable such translational research to occur, I have built up a network of African sites and collaborations spanning the globe bringing sophisticated technologies to apply them in real life circumstances to study common diseases of Africa. These have enabled unique insights in host clinical physiology, which have major impacts on disease management and clinical trials that have generated the essential evidence base for patient management and contributed to the development of national and international guidelines.

 

My most notable work, as the principal investigator, was the landmark fluid resuscitation trial – the largest and only controlled trial ever undertaken (FEAST trial). FEAST demonstrated that fluid boluses resulted in increased mortality in African children with severe febrile illness and excess mortality was largely a result of cardio-vascular collapse. Numerous commentaries followed the publication of FEAST in NEJM, which was widely praised for demonstrating how rigorously clinical research can be performed in such settings. FEAST won the prestigious BMJ Research Paper of the Year in 2012.

 

My team recently completed the TRACT trial which tested two transfusion strategies in nearly 4000 African children that aimed to reduce deaths and illness those hospitalised with severe anaemia. Both trial papers were published in NEJM on 1st August 2019 and are likely to lead to significant refinements to WHO transfusion guideline.

My team recently published  the COAST trial (Children Oxygenation Administration Strategies Trial) which examines the optimum oxygen saturation threshold for which oxygen should be targeted and how best to administer oxygen in 1842 children in 5 centres in Uganda and Kenya (doi:10.1007/s00134-021-06385-3). 

In 2018, through an EDCTP award, a further randomisation at 48 hours will investigate whether supplementary feeding using Ready to Use Feeds improves long-term outcomes (COAST-Nutrition). The COAST Nutrition trial is still on-going. 

Current work


In 2017, our trial group expanded their work in fluid resuscitation to two key groups excluded from the FEAST trial, children with gastroenteritis and severe malnutrition. We have undertake Phase II safety and efficacy in these two groups in the GASTRO (doi 10.1186/s12916-019-1356-z) and are currently  undertaking GASTROSAM Phase II rehydration trial.

In 2018, through a collaborative award in science from Wellcome, I will lead SMAART (Severe Malaria Africa – A consortium for Research and Trials) consortium. SMAART consortium involves a multi-disciplinary team whose membership includes world leaders in severe malaria and experts in clinical trials. The overarching aim of SMAART is to improve outcomes from severe malaria in African children (since one in ten hospitalised with severe malaria continue to die) by conducting better research studies faster and enabling evidence-based continuous updates of disease definitions and treatment guidelines for severe malaria.
