About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Double-blind, Randomised, Parallel-group, Active Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Tafenoquine (SB-252263, WR238605) in Subjects With Plasmodium Vivax Malaria.

The purpose of this two part study is to test the safety and efficacy of Tafenoquine (with Cholorquine) as a radical cure for Plasmodium vivax (P.vivax) malaria relative to the control Chloroquine.Part 1 aims to select an efficacious and well tolerated dose that can be co-administered with Chloroquine. Part 2 will investigate the safety and efficacy of the selected dose (300 mg tafenoquine) in the treatment and radical cure of Plasmodium Vivax Malaria.

Read the detailed description

Plasmodium vivax represents 50-80% of all malarial cases in Latin America and South East Asia. It is able to establish a dormant liver stage called the hypnozoite. Hypnozoite activation after initial infection can cause a relapse. Currently the only widely available drug is primaquine which requires administration over 14 days, resulting in poor compliance and treatment failure. Tafenoquine (an 8-aminoquinoline anti-malarial drug) has been shown to possess activity against all stages of the plasmodium life cycle, including the dormant stage in the liver. This is a multi-centre, double dummy, double blind, parallel group, randomized, active control study which is conducted in two parts. For both parts, subjects are treated with Chloroquine on days 1 to 3 (600mg, 600mg, and 300mg) to treat the blood stage vivax malaria. Part 1 will include at least 324 subjects and part 2 at least 600 subjects. Part 1 has 6 treatment arms, arms 1 to 4 contain different doses of Tafenoquine (50mg, 100mg, 300mg, and 600mg) dosed on day 1 or 2, arm 5 contains primaquine (15mg) dosing over 14 days (days 2-15 (15mg)) and arm 6 contains chloroquine only. The aim of this is to find a dose of Tafenoquine which meets the defined dose criteria. Based on Part 1 efficacy and safety, a single Tafenoquine dose (300 mg) will be studied in the pivotal Part 2. Part 2 contains 3 treatment arms one with the selected Tafenoquine dose (300 mg), the second arm will be 15mg Primaquine which will again be dosed over 14 days and the final arm contains chloroquine only dosed days 1-3 (600mg, 600mg, 300mg). Therefore as with Part 1, in Part 2 all subjects will receive Chloroquine. The aim of Part 2 is to investigate the safety and efficacy of the selected Tafenoquine/Chloroquine dose in the treatment and radical cure of Plasmodium vivax malaria. In addition to the Primary and Secondary endpoints stated below we will also be collecting; other efficacy endpoints (gametocyte clearance time, Recrudescence defined as any Plasmodium vivax parasitemia occurring on or before Day 29 (blood stage treatment failure), Incidence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and Incidence of recrudescence and new Plasmodium vivax infection, determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), safety endpoints (clinically relevant haemolysis leading to drops in haemoglobin / haematocrit or complications thereof (required transfusions, acute renal failure), changes in methaemoglobin, gastrointestinal (GI) tolerability - incidence of abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhoea, constipation, nausea and vomiting and ophthalmic safety - incidence of corneal deposits, retinal and visual field abnormalities. Data collected at up to four centres . Additionally, the incidence and severity of adverse events and abnormal laboratory observations will be presented).Pharmacokinetic endpoints (Population pharmacokinetic parameters for tafenoquine including but not limited to oral clearance (CL/F) and volume of distribution (V/F)and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic endpoints (e.g. tafenoquine plasma concentrations) and selected Pharmacodynamic endpoints (e.g. relapse efficacy, change in methaemoglobin) if appropriate, will be explored.

    Methemoglobin assessment was made with the aid of a non-invasive signal extraction pulse CO-Oximeter handheld machine (Masimo). The change from Baseline in percent methemoglobin by treatment, time and sex has been summarized. The last assessment performed prior to the first dose of study medication (CQ or randomized treatment) was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post baseline assessment minus the Baseline assessment for percent methemoglobin. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline and up to Day 120

  10. Number of Participants With Gastrointestinal Disorders

    Gastrointestinal tolerability was analyzed by the number of par experiencing gastrointestinal disorders such as abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. The number of participants with gastrointestinal disorders for each treatment group has been summarized.

    Measured: Up to Day 180

  11. Number of Participants With Keratopathy

    Ophthalmic assessments were carried out at pre-qualified sites (Manaus) 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. The number of participants displaying keratopathy in each eye was summarized for each visit. The number of participants with new keratopathy at any time post Baseline was also reported. Ophthalmic Safety Population comprised of all participants in the Safety Population who have results from any eye assessments. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed.

    Measured: Up to Day 180

  12. Incidence of Visual Field Abnormalities Based on Best Corrected Visual Acuity Test Scores

    Ophthalmic assessments were carried out at pre-qualified sites (Manaus) 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. 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 mean and standard deviation of logMAR score for each treatment group has been summarized. High scores were associated with worse vision, and low scores with better vision. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed.

    Measured: Up to Day 180

  13. Number of Participants With Retinal Changes From Baseline

    Ophthalmic assessments were carried out at pre-qualified sites (Manaus) 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 was calculated as the post Baseline assessment minus the Baseline assessment. The number of participants with definite retinal change and questionable (ques) retinal change from Baseline was presented. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed.
