Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 29 (i.e., 28 days post-dose): polymerase chain reaction (PCR) corrected adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR);Main Objective: To determine the effective doses of KAF156 combined with LUM-SDF given daily over 1, 2 or 3 days for treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by P. falciparum.;Primary end point(s): •PCR-corrected adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) at Day 29 (i.e., 28 days post-dose) in Parts A and B. •Assessments of KAF156 exposure in the PK Run-in cohort to understand the impact of LUM-SDF on KAF156 exposure. ;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of KAF156/LUM-SDF. •To further assess the effect of treatment with KAF156/LUM-SDF by assessing uncorrected ACPR and corrected ACPR at additional time points, as well as fever- and parasite clearance times. •To assess the key PK parameters of KAF156 and lumefantrine.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Days 15, 29 and 43 (i.e., 14, 28 and 42 days post dose): PCR-Uncorrected ACPR Days 15 and 43: PCR-corrected ACPR Proportion of patients with parasitaemia at 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment. ;Secondary end point(s): •Standard safety/tolerability assessments: AE incidence and severity, liver and kidney function tests and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities. •PCR-Uncorrected ACPR at Days 15, 29and 43 (i.e., 14, 28 and 42 days postdose). PCR-corrected ACPR at Days 15 and 43 (i.e., 14 and 42 days post-dose).Incidence rate of recrudescence and reinfection at Days 15, 29 and 43.Parasite and Fever Clearance Times (PCT and FCT). Proportion of patients with parasitaemia at 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment. •PK assessments.
