Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, comparative study. A total of 300 subjects will be randomized to treatment on Day 1, of which a minimum of 50 female subjects must be enrolled that display moderate glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (>=40% - <70% of the site median G6PD value). Subjects must have a blood smear that is positive for P. vivax at entry. Subjects will be randomized 2:1 to receive tafenoquine (TQ)/chloroquine(CQ) or the active comparator primaquine (PQ)/CQ. All subjects will receive CQ on Days 1 to 3, followed by TQ or PQ and matching placebo beginning on Day 1 or 2. Tafenoquine, or matching placebo, will be given as a single, 300mg dose. Subjects will receive PQ (15mg once daily) or matching placebo for 14 days. The duration of the study is 180 days, including screening and randomization to treatment (Day 1), three in-hospital days (Days 1-3), four out-patient visits while on treatment with study medication (Days 5, 8, 11 and 15) and seven follow-up visits (Days 22, 29, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180).

The primary safety data collected in this study will help to understand the hemolysis risk to both G6PD-normal and G6PD-deficient subjects. The efficacy data produced from this study will support the results for sister study TAF112582, the pivotal phase III efficacy and safety study of the TQ program.

Title Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
Description 12 lead ECG was performed with the participant in a semi-supine position having rested in this position for at least 10 minutes. ECG assessments were performed in triplicate at screening followed by single ECGs 12 hours after the first dose of study medication and at Day 29. The number of participants with abnormal-clinically significant ECG findings have been presented. The 12 Hour Post Randomized Treatment (11.5-12.5 Hours) timepoint included all readings taken between 11.5 and 12.5 hours post randomized treatment. The 12 Hour Post Randomized Treatment (8-72 Hours) timepoint is a sensitivity analysis of the 12 Hour post randomized treatment timepoint, including all readings taken between 8 and 72 hours post randomized treatment. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category title).

Title Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
Description Vital signs were measured twice a day on Days 1 through 3, at least 4 hours apart, and immediately prior to pharmacokinetic (PK) measurements. MAP was calculated as the sum of SBP and two times DBP divided by 3. The mean and standard deviation of SBP, DBP and MAP has been presented. The values presented does not include Day 3 assessments for participant number 570. Baseline value is defined as the latest pre-treatment assessment where treatment is their first dose of study medication (CQ/PQ/TQ/Placebo). Change from Baseline is the value at post dose minus Baseline value. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category title).

Title Number of Participants With Change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity Test Scores
Description Ophthalmic assessments were carried out at pre-qualified sites prior to randomization and at Days 29 and 90 and at withdrawal. Assessments were carried out at Day 180 if the Day 90 assessments showed abnormalities. The last assessment performed on the day of randomization or earlier was considered Baseline. Change from Baseline is the value at post dose visit minus the Baseline value. Best corrected visual acuity was assessed individually for each eye. Scores were recorded as a ratio. The values were used to derive a logMAR score for statistical analysis where logMAR=-1x log10 (ratio score). The number of participants with change in Best Corrected Visual Acuity Test Scores from Baseline has been presented where possible change is defined as a change from Baseline >=0.12 to <0.3 and definite change is defined as a change from Baseline >=0.3 logMAR score. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category title).

24. Secondary Outcome
Title Cost Associated With Relapse Episode of P Vivax Malaria
Description Health outcomes were evaluated based on the total costs spent on treatment, transport, medication and tests. The cost was summarized according to the place at which the participant went to for care (drug shop, trial clinic, other clinic, hospital emergency center, other). The costs associated with a relapse episode of P. vivax malaria has been presented. Participants may be represented in more than one category, so the total number of participants may be less than the number quoted. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category title).
