Description: Chagas disease ranks among the world’s most neglected diseases. After decades of limited progress, the last few years have witnessed a significant change in the landscape of research and drug development in Chagas disease. The proposed symposium will provide an overview of new data on old compounds, treatment regimens, new drug candidates and biological markers from key experts in the field. The first presentation will provide the announcement of the results of the first clinical trial of E1224, a pro-drug of ravuconazole, in the treatment of Chagas disease in adults with chronic indeterminate Chagas disease. The second presentation will summarize new data on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of benznidazole in the treatment of adults and children with Chagas disease. The third presentation will describe the results of the TRAENA clinical trial, a placebo-controlled evaluation of the efficacy and safety of benznidazole in adult patients with chronic Chagas disease. This study involves follow-up of patients for approximately 10 years with assessment of long-term disease progression. The fourth and last presentation will provide a review of recent advances in biological markers of therapeutic response.
