Advancing Capacity for Early Phase Trials for Pandemics and Epidemics in Africa (ACCEPT-Africa)


Research area
Clinical research and clinical trials on epidemic and pandemic prone infections

Lead Institution
Infectious Diseases Institute, Makerere University, Uganda (Dr Christine Sekaggya-Wiltshire)

Partners

  • Catholic University of Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Professor Patrick de Marie Katoto),
  • Kibong’oto Infectious Diseases Hospital, Tanzania (Professor Stellah Mpagama),
  • University of Cape Town, South Africa (Professor Mario Denti)

 

Project
Advancing Capacity for Early Phase Trials for Pandemics and Epidemics in Africa (ACCEPT-Africa)


The ACCEPT-Africa Consortium is an initiative focused on strengthening Africa's response to epidemic prone infectious diseases, particularly Mpox, Ebola and Marburg. This project aims to establish a robust clinical trial network across Uganda, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo.

The consortium’s approach includes three main objectives:

  1. To evaluate antiviral treatments through three clinical trials
  2. To understand community perceptions, ethical considerations, and the feasibility of clinical trials in epidemic-prone areas; and
  3. To build sustainable local research capacity by training scientists in pharmacokinetics, trial design, and bioethics.

The project will also assess community attitudes toward new treatments, ensuring that interventions are culturally sensitive and widely accepted. The consortium will contribute to improving Africa’s capacity to conduct early-phase trials for emerging infectious diseases, ultimately helping mitigate future health crises.

Projet
Advancing Capacity for Early Phase Trials for Pandemics and Epidemics in Africa (ACCEPT-Africa)


Le Consortium ACCEPT-Africa est une initiative visant à renforcer la réponse de l’Afrique aux maladies infectieuses à potentiel épidémique, en particulier le Monkeypox, Ebola et Marburg. Ce projet a pour objectif d’établir un réseau solide d’essais cliniques en Ouganda, en Tanzanie et en République démocratique du Congo.

L’approche du consortium repose sur trois objectifs :

  • Évaluer des traitements antiviraux à travers trois essais cliniques ;
  • Comprendre les perceptions communautaires, les considérations éthiques et la faisabilité d’essais cliniques dans les zones sujettes aux épidémies ;
  • Renforcer durablement les capacités locales en formant des scientifiques en pharmacocinétique, méthodologie des essais cliniques et bioéthique.

Le projet évaluera également les attitudes des communautés à l’égard de nouveaux traitements afin de garantir des interventions culturellement appropriées et largement acceptées. Le consortium contribuera à accroître la capacité de l’Afrique à conduire des essais cliniques de phase précoce pour les maladies infectieuses émergentes, aidant à atténuer les crises sanitaires futures.
