Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Open enrollment of any uncomplicated PF patient regardless of the gametocyte status, including mixed infections. This provides a stronger trial design given the operational simplicity, fewer assumptions, and greater generalizability of results

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Signs of severe malaria, history of previous antimalarial intake within < 1 week, children <1 year, and G6PD deficient patients will be excluded from the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Outcome will be host gametocytemia. We will examine proportions at each time and survival curves in the proportion of patients who are gametocytemic (dichotomous) upto day 28.Timepoint: 28 Days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Outcomes include adverse events, gametocyte density, primaquine safety (change in hct/hgb), crude and PCR adjusted cure rates. Pre-spectified sub-analyzes include between individual arms, age, and gametocytemia at presentation. Timepoint: Days 0,1,2,3,7,14,21,28
