Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Characterise the Antimalarial and Transmission Blocking Activity of a Single Dose of DSM265 or OZ439 in Healthy Subjects With Induced Blood Stage Plasmodium Falciparum or Plasmodium Vivax Infection (NCT NCT02573857)

NCT ID: NCT02573857

Last Updated: 2020-06-05

Results Overview

Efficacy of a single 400 mg dose of DSM265 or a 200mg dose of OZ439. The primary efficacy variable is parasite reduction ratio (PRR) of asexual parasites based on qPCR analysis of blood level parasitemia pre-dose and following administration of study drug. The parasite reduction ratio (PRR) provides an estimate of the efficacy of an antimalarial treatment and is the ratio of the parasite density between admission and 48 h post antimalarial treatment.

Measure
DSM265 P. Falciparum
Cohort 1: the efficacy of a single administration of 400 mg DSM265 for the clearance of asexual blood stages of P. falciparum will be determined. Activity of a second single dose of 400 mg DSM265 against gametocytes will be assessed in this cohort only if sexual stages are identified by PCR following the initial drug treatment. DSM265: Oral suspension from bulk powder
OZ439 P. Vivax
Cohort 2: subjects will be infected with P. vivax by IBSM, then treated with a single 200 mg dose OZ439. If recrudescence occurs following initial drug treatment with 200 mg OZ439, then affected participants who reach the treatment threshold will receive a single 400 mg dose of OZ439.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to 48 hours post antimalarial treatment

Population: Subject R104 in Cohort 1 was excluded from PRR analysis because parasitaemia was not observed in this subject.

Efficacy of a single 400 mg dose of DSM265 or a 200mg dose of OZ439. The primary efficacy variable is parasite reduction ratio (PRR) of asexual parasites based on qPCR analysis of blood level parasitemia pre-dose and following administration of study drug.
