Brief summary

This Phase 2a trial recruits adult patients with uncomplicated P. vivax or P. falciparum blood-stage malaria mono-infection. The study drug SJ733 will be administered to examine its antimalarial efficacy, safety, and tolerability. This study also evaluates whether or not a fixed dose of the pharmacoenhancer cobicistat when given in combination with SJ733 significantly improves drug efficacy.

Detailed description

This is an adaptive open label Phase 2a study to examine the antimalarial efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SJ733 in adult patients with uncomplicated P. vivax or P. falciparum blood-stage malaria monoinfection. SJ733 will be administered orally once every day for three consecutive days, with or without a fixed dose of the pharmacoenhancer cobicistat. The Phase 1 clinical data (completed under a US IND) and PK/PD models suggest that SJ733 is most likely to be curative as a 3-daily-dose pharmacoenhanced therapy, due to its moderately rapid clearance. There will be 1-3 cohorts with each cohort containing two treatment arms, P. falciparum (a) and P. vivax (b). Cohort progression will be managed independently for each treatment arm. Interim analysis will determine whether the data for a given treatment arm meets the success criteria, is inconclusive, or meets the failure criteria. Antimalarial efficacy will be examined over the period of 42 days. Additional aims are to characterize the safety and pharmacokinetics of SJ733. The results of this trial will identify active, well-tolerated doses for investigation in a larger Phase 2b clinical trial.

Parasite Clearance Time

Time to parasite clearance as measured by microscopy

Time frame: 42 days for each arm

Population: Participants eligible for efficacy measurements were analyzed.

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)
Arm 1 B (Cohort 1)Parasite Clearance Time15.60 hours

Parasite Reduction Rate

The parasite reduction rate is calculated as the slope of the linear portion of the regression fit of natural log of average parasitemia (per microliter) versus time (in hours). Reported slope is representative of all analyzed participants in each arm. Slope is analyzed during time frame in which there is active reduction of parasitemia by treatment (0-\>96 h).

Time frame: 0->96 h, depending upon the time required to reach lower limit of detection

Population: Participants eligible for efficacy analysis were analyzed

ArmMeasureValue (MEAN)
Arm 1 B (Cohort 1)Parasite Reduction Rate-0.33 Ln(parasites/uL)/hour
Arm 2 B (Cohort 2)Parasite Reduction Rate-0.08 Ln(parasites/uL)/hour

Percent Change in Asexual Parasites From Baseline

Percentage change of asexual parasites as determined by microscopy, relative to baseline at the specified times. The value represents the average parasitemia in the arm/cohort at the given time (per microliter) versus time (in hours) compared to the average parasitemia at T0. Reported reduction is representative of all analyzed participants in each arm.

Time frame: 42 days

Population: Only data from participants who were eligible for efficacy analysis were analyzed.
