Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this phase III clinical study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the fixed combination of pyronaridine artesunate (Pyramax®, PA) with that of the combination of mefloquine plus artesunate (MQ + AS) in children and adults with uncomplicated P falciparum malaria in South East Asia, India and Africa.
Detailed Description:
This is a multi-centre, comparative, randomised, open-label, parallel-group, non-inferiority study comparing the efficacy and safety of a fixed combination of PA to a loose combination of MQ + AS for patients with acute, symptomatic, uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria. The study population will include 1271 patients, comprising male and female children (≥20 kg body weight) and adults, recruited from study sites in South East Asia, India and Africa. Patients will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive either oral PA (180:60mg tablets) or MQ (250mg tablets) plus AS (100mg tablets) once a day for 3 consecutive days (Days 0, 1, and 2). The study drug will be administered by a Third-Party Investigator unblinded to the study treatment, while the Investigator remains blinded.
Patients will be confined to the to the study facility for ≥4 days (Days 0, 1, 2, and 3) and remain near the study site for ≥7 days, or once fever and parasite clearance has been confirmed for ≥24 hours - whichever occurs later.
The primary efficacy end point for the study is the proportion of patients with PCR-corrected adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) on Day 28. Scheduled follow-up visits will continue until completion of the study at Day 42. In the case of adverse events reported and unresolved at Day 42, patients will be followed up for a further 30 days, or until resolution of the event.
The primary efficacy end point for the study is the proportion of subjects with PCR-corrected adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) on Day 28 (defined as the absence of parasitaemia without the subject's meeting any of the criteria of early treatment failure, late clinical failure, or late parasitological failure). Scheduled follow-up visits will continue until completion of the study at Day 42. In the case of adverse events reported and unresolved at Day 42, patients will be followed up for a further 30 days, or until resolution of the event.
