Recruitment details

Study conducted at 12 active sites in 7 countries. Total of 806 participants were screened between 25 July 2015 and 22 July 2019, of which 377 were randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms (via Integrated Web Recognition System using permuted block randomization schedules). 429 participants failed screening mainly due to meeting exclusion criteria.

Pre-assignment details

In each arm, participants were divided in 4 cohorts (C):C1 (greater than \[\>\] 14 years (yrs) to less than \[\<\] 70 yrs); C2 (\>5 yrs to less than or equal to \[\<=\] 14 yrs );C3 (\>2 yrs to \<=5 yrs); C4 (\>6 months to \<=2 yrs). Day 0 (drug administration day, per protocol) was Day 1 for safety reporting as per Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium.

ACPR: negative parasitemia at Day 28, irrespective of axillary temperature(AT), in participants not meeting any criteria of early therapy failure (ETF):Danger signs (DS)/severe malaria (SM) at Day 1, 2 or 3 in presence of parasitemia; or Day 2 parasite count \>Day 0 irrespective of AT; or parasitemia at Day 3 with AT \>=37.5 degree Celsius (°C); or parasite count on Day 3\>=25 percent (%) on Day 0, or late clinical failure(LCF):DS/ SM in presence of parasitemia between Day 4 and 28; or presence of parasitemia and AT\>=37.5°C between Day 4 and 28, or late parasitological failure (LPF):presence of parasitemia between Day 7 and 28 and AT\<37.5°C or having rescue therapy for malaria. PCR-adjusted ACPR applied to recrudescence (appearance of asexual parasites after clearance of initial infection with genotype identical to that present at Baseline), excluding participants with re-infection. In data table, overall number of participants analyzed=participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug and did not necessarily had to have a causal relationship with the treatment. SAEs were any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened or became serious during on-treatment phase that was defined as the time from the start of the first dose of double-blind drug administration up to the Day 63. AE of special interest (AESI) was an AE (serious or non-serious) of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and immediate notification by the Investigator to the Sponsor was required.

Time frame: From Baseline up to Day 63

Population: Analyzed on safety population which included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose or part of a dose of the study medication.
