Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II Efficacy Study of Artefenomel & Piperaquine in Adults & Children With P. Falciparum Malaria. (NCT NCT02083380)

NCT ID: NCT02083380

Last Updated: 2017-03-10

Results Overview

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-adjusted adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) at Day 28: defined as: absence of parasitaemia on Day 28, irrespective of axillary temperature, in patients who did not previously meet any of the criteria of early treatment failure (ETF), late clinical failure (LCF) or late parasitological failure (LPF). Definition of ETF, LCF and LPF according to a modified standard WHO classification. Per protocol population (PP). 95% Clopper-Pearson 2-sided Confidence Interval (CI) constructed around the single binomial proportion per treatment arm and total.

Participant Flow

Randomized double blind study. Conduct was July 2014-August 2015 in Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Mozambique and Uganda) and Vietnam. Following informed consent patients were recruited to the study. Patients below the age to give legal Informed Consent were consented according local customs / legal requirements.

Patients were assigned a screening number and underwent screening procedures to assess eligibility. Eligible patients were randomized through an Interactive web-response system and followed for efficacy and safety up to 42 days post dose and 63 days at selected centers. Patients were consented separately to remain in the study up to Day 63.
