Slides will be double read.\n\nSecondary Efficacy Variables\n\n* Day 28 slide clearance rate defined as the number of treated patients with clearance of parasitaemia within 14 days of starting treatment, without subsequent recrudescence up to day 28.\n* Day 14 clinical failure rate (presence of symptoms of malaria in the presence of parasitaemia).\n* Day 28 clinical failure rate.\n* Adverse events.\n* Haemoglobin level increased by at least 1g/dl by day 14.\n* Clearance of gametocytaemia by day 3, 7, and 14.\n* Number of subsequent malaria episodes in next 6 months. It is assumed that the population of each treatment arm is equally likely to be re-infected in this time scale. Therefore any measurable difference in number of subsequent episodes between treatment arms will be due to a relapse.\n* In G6PD deficient patients the change in mean haemoglobin.\n\nSafety Parameters:\n\nAdverse events and laboratory findings will be monitored in all patients. Regular haemoglobin to identify haemolysis.\n\nStudy design:\n\nRecruitment and administration:\n\nRecruitment and administration of all treatments will be directly observed by the trial coordinator and trial pharmacist, and/or health unit clinician.\n\nDosing Schedules:\n\nChlorproguanil-dapsone (Lapdap): (target doses 2.0 and 2.5 mg/kg respectively) daily for 3 days .\n\nSulfadoxine - pyrimethamine (SP): (target doses 1.25 and 25.0 mg/kg respectively) once only.\n\nChloroquine (CQ): (target dose 25mg/kg ) daily for 3 days.\n\nFollow up:\n\nPatients will return to the clinic on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 for supervised dosing, thick and thin smears, blood spot filter papers, update of clinical record forms, determination of haemoglobin, full blood cell counts, liver function tests, determination of adverse events and concomitant medication details, as appropriate.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '3 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
