About This Trial
Platform study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-malarial agents in patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
1. Male and female patients ≥18 years of age for Part A, ≥12 years of age for Part B and 2 to \<12 years of age for Part C at screening.
2. Patients must have acute uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria mono infection at screening confirmed by a parasite count between 5,000 to 150,000 asexual parasite count/μl of blood for P. falciparum for Part A and between 1,000 to 150,000 asexual parasite count/μl of blood for Parts B and C.
3. Patients in Part A must weigh between 40 kg and 90 kg. Patients in Part B must weigh between 35 kg and 90 kg at screening. Patients in Part C must weigh at least 10 kg at screening.
4. Axillary temperature ≥ 37.5ºC or oral/tympanic/rectal temperature ≥ 38.0ºC; or history of fever during the previous 24 hours.
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
1. Patients with signs and symptoms of severe/complicated malaria at screening or mixed Plasmodium infection (i.e., infection with more than one malaria species) at screening
2. Moderate to severe anemia, chronic hemoglobinopathy (Hemoglobin level \< 8 g/dL), or known chronic underlying disease such as sickle cell disease at screening
3. Known clinically significant liver disease (e.g., chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis (compensated or decompensated), history of hepatitis B or C, hepatitis A or B vaccination in the last 3 months, known gallbladder or bile duct disease, acute or chronic pancreatitis. Clinical or laboratory evidence of any of the following at screening:
- AST/ALT \> 3 x the upper limit of normal range (ULN), regardless of the level of total bilirubin
- AST/ALT \> 1.5 and ≤ 2 x ULN and total bilirubin is \> ULN
- Total bilirubin \> 2 x ULN, regardless of the level of AST/ALT
4. Any known/suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human weakened immune system virus (HIV) infection at screening.
