Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Parasite clearance timeFrom baseline to the time point when the blood parasite count is zero(up to a maximum of 5 days)Calculated based on parasite count in blood. In thin film, use actual WBCs/µl, of blood to calculate parasite density by using the following formula: parasites/µl= #parasites× actual WBC/#WBCs counted. In thick film, assume that there are 250 RBCs per HPF, RBC count from 8 HPF equal 2000 RBC, Use actual RBCs/µl blood to calculate parasite density by using the following formula: parasites/µl= # of parasites in 8HPF/2000)× actual RBC.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area under the curve (AUC)0-24h on Day 1 and Day 3Day 1 and Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose. \*The 24h sampling of first post dose should be taken before the second dose. On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
The accumulation ratio (Racc) (=AUC0-24h, day3/AUC0-24h, day1)Day 1 and Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose. \*The 24h sampling of first post dose should be taken before the second dose. On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
Maximum concentration (Cmax) on Day 1 and Day 3Day 1 and Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose. \*The 24h sampling of first post dose should be taken before the second dose. On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
Number of participants with adverse eventsvital signs: Days 1 through 6; ECG: Days1, 2, 3; Labs: Days 2, 3, 5, study completionNumber of participants with adverse events determined by Vital sign(body temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate): pre dose, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post dose on Day 1: then 6, 12, 18, 24 hours post dose on each day during domiciles period until at least two consecutive normal temperature readings are obtained, then it will measure daily until Day 6. ECG: 3-4 hours post dose on day1; pre dose, 3-4 hours post dose on Day 2; pre dose, 3-4 hours post dose on Day 3 and study completion. Lab evaluation: Day 2, Day3 and Day5, study completion.
Half-life (T1/2)Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
Clearance (CL/F )Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
The apparent volume of distribution during the terminal elimination phase following extravascular administration (Vz/F)Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) on Day 1 and Day 3Day 1 and Day 3The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose. \*The 24h sampling of first post dose should be taken before the second dose. On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose
