Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, non-comparative, single arm study of pediatric subjects with Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) malaria, aged 6 months to <16 years of age. A total of 60 subjects will be enrolled. Potential subjects who are slide-positive for

  1. vivax will be started by the site on chloroquine (CQ) per local/national guidelines. Sites will have up to 48 hours to obtain consent. Once full consent is provided, all subjects will be screened and, if eligible, receive Tafenoquine (TQ), given as a single dose on Day 1. All study medication should be taken with food. After the treatment period, subjects will attend up to 7 follow-up visits through Day 120 (Days 3, 8, 15, 29, 60, 90 and 120). The main cohort will consist of subjects aged >=2 years to <16 years with no restriction on gender. Subjects will be dosed according to four weight bands. Within the total of 60 enrolled pediatric subjects, a second cohort of up to 6 infants aged >=6 months to <2 years (weighing >=5 kilogram [kg]) will be recruited following completion of a planned first interim analysis. An interim analysis will be conducted once sufficient data from 16 subjects is available to assess pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety parameters. If needed, a second interim analysis will be conducted after a total of 32 subjects have enrolled. The primary objective of this PK bridging study is to adequately characterize the systemic TQ exposure in the pediatric population in order to identify appropriate doses that achieve a similar exposure to that of the TQ adult dose of 300 milligram (mg).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Area Under the Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) of Tafenoquine by Weight Band in Participants Aged >=2 Years to <16 Years (Weighing >=5 kg) [Days 3, 15, 29 and 60 post dose]

    Blood samples were collected at indicated time points for pharmacokinetic analysis of tafenoquine. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods. AUC(0-infinity) of tafenoquine was evaluated for participants aged >=2 years to <16 years (weighing >=5 kg). Pharmacokinetic (PK) population consisted of all participants with at least one PK sample taken at Days 3, 15, 29 and 60, with accurate dosing and sample time histories.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Gastrointestinal Adverse Events [Up to Day 120]

    Number of participants experiencing gastrointestinal adverse events including vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorder, epigastric discomfort and nausea were assessed. Number of participants with gastrointestinal adverse events for each treatment group have been presented. Safety Population consisted of all participants who received at least one dose of study medication (tafenoquine).

  2. Number of Participants With Hemoglobin Decline From Baseline Over First 10 Days [Baseline and up to Day 10]

    Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is known to be a risk factor for hemolysis in participants treated with 8-aminoquinolines. Blood samples were collected for the evaluation of hemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin decrease of >=30 percent (%) of >30 grams per liter (g/L) from Baseline; or, an overall drop in hemoglobin below 60.0 g/L in the first 15 days of the study were considered as protocol defined serious adverse events (SAEs). Number of participants with hemoglobin decline from Baseline over first 10 days have been presented. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-tafenoquine dose assessment on Day 1.

  3. Number of Participants With Non-serious Adverse Events (Non-SAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Up to Day 120]

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporarily associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect, other situations and is associated with liver injury.

  4. Number of Participants With Worst Case Hematology Results Relative to Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline [Baseline (Day 1) and up to Day 8]

    Blood samples were collected for analysis of eosinophils, lymphocytes, platelets and reticulocytes. PCI ranges were >1.5*10^9 (high) cells per liter (cells/L) for eosinophils, <0.5*10^9 cells/L (low) or >4*10^9 cells/L (high) for lymphocytes, <50*10^9 cells/L (low) for platelet count and >1*upper limit of normal (ULN) 10^12 cells/L (high) for reticulocyte count. Participants were counted in worst case category that their value changes to (low, within range or no change or high), unless there is no change in their category. Participants whose laboratory value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in "To within Range or No Change" category. Participants were counted twice if the participant has values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%. Baseline value is the latest pre-tafenoquine dose assessment on Day 1.

  5. Number of Participants With Worst Case Clinical Chemistry Results Relative to PCI Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline [Baseline (Day 1) and up to Day 8]

    Blood samples were collected for analysis of clinical chemistry parameters. PCI ranges were >3*ULN international units per liter (IU/L) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]), >2.5*ULN IU/L (alkaline phosphatase), >3*ULN IU/L (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), >1.5*ULN micromoles/L (mcmol/L) (bilirubin), >5*ULN IU/L (creatine kinase [CK]), 3*ULN mcmol/L (creatinine), >1.5*ULN mcmol/L (indirect bilirubin), and >11.067 millimoles/L (urea). Participants were counted in worst case category that their value changes to (low, within range or no change or high), unless there is no change in their category. Participants whose laboratory value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in the "To within Range or No Change" category. Participants were counted twice if participant has values that changed "To Low and To High", so the percentages may not add to 100%. Baseline value is the latest pre-Tafenoquine dose assessment on Day 1.

  6. Number of Participants With Relapse-Free Efficacy at 4 Months [4 months]

    Relapse is defined as positive blood smear with or without vivax malaria symptoms. A participant was considered to have demonstrated relapse-free efficacy if: a) Participant is slide positive for Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) at Baseline. b) Participant showed initial clearance of P. vivax parasitemia defined as a negative slide at or before the Day 29 visit. c) Participant is not slide-positive for P. vivax at any assessment. d) Participant did not take a concomitant medication with anti-malarial activity at any point between Study Day 1 and their last parasite assessment. e) Participant is parasite-free at 4 months defined as a negative asexual P. vivax parasite slide at the first parasite assessment performed during study. Microbiologic-Intent-To-Treat (mITT) Population consisted of all participants who received a dose of study treatment (tafenoquine) and had microscopically-confirmed vivax parasitemia at Baseline.

  7. AUC(0-infinity) of Tafenoquine by Weight Band in Participants Aged >=6 Months to <2 Years (Weighing >=5 kg) [Days 3, 15, 29 and 60 post dose]

    Blood samples were planned to be collected at indicated time points for pharmacokinetic analysis of tafenoquine.

Title Number of Participants With Worst Case Hematology Results Relative to Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline
Description Blood samples were collected for analysis of eosinophils, lymphocytes, platelets and reticulocytes. PCI ranges were >1.5*10^9 (high) cells per liter (cells/L) for eosinophils, <0.5*10^9 cells/L (low) or >4*10^9 cells/L (high) for lymphocytes, <50*10^9 cells/L (low) for platelet count and >1*upper limit of normal (ULN) 10^12 cells/L (high) for reticulocyte count. Participants were counted in worst case category that their value changes to (low, within range or no change or high), unless there is no change in their category. Participants whose laboratory value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in "To within Range or No Change" category. Participants were counted twice if the participant has values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.

6. Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Worst Case Clinical Chemistry Results Relative to PCI Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline
Description Blood samples were collected for analysis of clinical chemistry parameters. PCI ranges were >3*ULN international units per liter (IU/L) (alanine aminotransferase [ALT]), >2.5*ULN IU/L (alkaline phosphatase), >3*ULN IU/L (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), >1.5*ULN micromoles/L (mcmol/L) (bilirubin), >5*ULN IU/L (creatine kinase [CK]), 3*ULN mcmol/L (creatinine), >1.5*ULN mcmol/L (indirect bilirubin), and >11.067 millimoles/L (urea). Participants were counted in worst case category that their value changes to (low, within range or no change or high), unless there is no change in their category. Participants whose laboratory value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in the "To within Range or No Change" category. Participants were counted twice if participant has values that changed "To Low and To High", so the percentages may not add to 100%. Baseline value is the latest pre-Tafenoquine dose assessment on Day 1.
Time Frame Baseline (Day 1) and up to Day 8

7. Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Relapse-Free Efficacy at 4 Months
Description Relapse is defined as positive blood smear with or without vivax malaria symptoms. A participant was considered to have demonstrated relapse-free efficacy if: a) Participant is slide positive for Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) at Baseline. b) Participant showed initial clearance of P. vivax parasitemia defined as a negative slide at or before the Day 29 visit. c) Participant is not slide-positive for P. vivax at any assessment. d) Participant did not take a concomitant medication with anti-malarial activity at any point between Study Day 1 and their last parasite assessment. e) Participant is parasite-free at 4 months defined as a negative asexual P. vivax parasite slide at the first parasite assessment performed during study. Microbiologic-Intent-To-Treat (mITT) Population consisted of all participants who received a dose of study treatment (tafenoquine) and had microscopically-confirmed vivax parasitemia at Baseline.
