PEP++ (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis against Leprosy) Stop the Transmission of Leprosy!
To interrupt the transmission of M. leprae in the project interventions areas, which eventually will lead to zero new cases of leprosy in these areas.
Pep++ in Nepal
Objective is: – To stop the transmission of M. leprae in a previously endemic community, as evidenced by a reduction of the number of new cases of leprosy by 50% in 2024.- To demonstrate the increased efficacy and acceptability of the enhanced post-exposure prophylaxis regimen (PEP++) compared to SDR-PEP.
– To demonstrate the benefit of identifying clusters of known (former) leprosy patients using GIS mapping methods in
targeting the allocation of PEP in blanket chemoprophylactic campaigns.
– To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs regarding leprosy and persons affected to develop community education and behaviour change interventions that will reduce stigma, improve strategies for early case detection and increase acceptance of Programmes interventions
PEP++ Stop transmission of Leprosy
It is a cluster-randomised controlled trial, with the objective for stopping the transmission of M. leprae in the project intervention areas, by demonstrating the effectiveness and efficacy of the enhanced post-exposure prophylaxis regimen (PEP++) compared to Post Exposure Prophylaxis with Single Dose of Rifampicin (PEP with SDR)
PEP++: Enhanced chemoprophylaxis
The PEP++ Program Starting in 2018, is a multicenter clinical research that is being developed in two cities in Ceará (Fortaleza and Sobral) and should generate evidence of the effectiveness of a reinforced chemoprophylaxis regimen for close contacts of people affected by leprosy. Additionally, research has been developed at PEP++ to study knowledge, practices, perceptions and attitudes, adding value to overcoming stigma and prejudice in addition to training professionals at Primary Health Centers. PEP++ is in the monitoring and evaluation phase of contacts who received chemoprophylaxis. It is expected that the results can influence national leprosy control policy, including chemoprophylaxis as a strategy.
