Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Part A: Safety Run-in Cohort M5717+Pyronaridine
M5717 and pyronaridine once daily in a single day treatment regimen at low dose of 330 milligrams (mg) and 360 mg respectively.
M5717 330 mg
Participants will receive orally 330 mg granules of M5717 in combination with pyronaridine dispersed in water under fasting condition.
Pyronaridine 360 mg
Participants will receive 360 mg of pyronaridine tablets in combination with M5717 under fasting condition.
Part B: Dose escalation cohort; M5717+Pyronaridine
After completion of Part A, if dose will be considered safe and well tolerated, the Internal Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will have the option to recommend dose adjustments. M5717 and pyronaridine once daily will be administered in an escalated dose in a single day or 2-day treatment regimen.
