Fantastic to see this published - first ever trial of treatment for bubonic plague

Huge thanks to the wonderful team in Madagascar #InstitutPasteur and our funders #FCDO #Wellcome

An important but incredibly challenging study - everyone deserves to benefit from science.

Data on treatments for bubonic plague are limited. In this open-label, randomized, controlled trial in Madagascar, ciprofloxacin monotherapy was noninferior to a standard aminoglycoside–ciprofloxacin regimen. Full IMASOY trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/3Ugs0kx
