Brief summary
Tafenoquine (TQ) is an 8-aminoquinoline anti-malarial drug which is in development as a single-dose treatment for the radical cure of P.vivax malaria when given with standard doses of chloroquine. Currently, the only available drug for radical cure is primaquine (PQ) which requires administration over 14 days, resulting in poor compliance. In Indonesia, chloroquine has been replaced by artemisinin-based combination therapy (i.e. ACTs) due to widespread chloroquine resistance. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single dose of tafenoquine when co-administered with an ACT (i.e. DHA-PQP). This single-center, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized study will test the superiority of DHA-PQP plus TQ against DHA-PQP alone in the prevention of P. vivax malaria relapse at 6 months. The study will be conducted in male Indonesian soldiers diagnosed with P.vivax malaria on return from deployment to a malarious region of Indonesia. A PQ plus DHA-PQP comparator arm is included to provide an informal comparison against the standard 14 day treatment for P.vivax malaria in Indonesia. Subjects who are glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PD deficient) will be excluded due to the risk of acute hemolysis following dosing with 8-aminoquinolines drugs. Subjects who have a recurrence of P.vivax malaria during the study will be treated with an ACT plus PQ (0.5mg/kg for 14 days), in line with local treatment guidelines. At the end of the 6 month follow up period, any subject who has not relapsed will be given open label PQ (0.5mg/kg daily for 14 days) to minimize the likelihood of relapse after the study. Approximately 200 subjects will be screened to achieve 150 randomized subjects. The total duration of study for each subject will be 180-195 days. This study is being carried out to support registration of TQ in Indonesia and other countries where ACTs are first line therapy.

Number of Participants With Worst Case Body Temperature Results Relative to Normal Range Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline
Body temperature was measured with participants in semi-supine position after 5 minutes of rest. Data was categorized as: body temperature 'low: \<36.5 degrees celsius', 'high: \>37.3 degrees celsius' and 'To Normal or No change'. Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (low, normal or high), unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose vital sign value category was unchanged (e.g.,High to High), or whose value became normal, are recorded in the To Normal or No Change category. Participants were counted twice if the participant had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%. Day 1 was considered as Baseline.

Number of Participants With Worst Case Pulse Rate Results Relative to Normal Range Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline
Pulse rate was measured with participants in semi-supine position after 5 minutes of rest. Data was categorized as: pulse rate low: \<60 beats per minute \[bpm\], high: \>100 bpm and 'To normal or No change'. Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (low, normal or high), unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose vital sign value category was unchanged (e.g.,High to High), or whose value became normal, are recorded in the To Normal or No Change category. Participants were counted twice if the participant had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%. Day 1 was considered as Baseline.

Time to Fever Clearance
Time to fever clearance is defined as time from first dose of treatment to the time when body temperature falls to normal and remains normal for at least 48 hours up to the Day 7 visit.
