What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Parasite clearance time

    Calculated based on parasite count in blood. In thin film, use actual WBCs/µl, of blood to calculate parasite density by using the following formula: parasites/µl= #parasites× actual WBC/#WBCs counted. In thick film, assume that there are 250 RBCs per HPF, RBC count from 8 HPF equal 2000 RBC, Use actual RBCs/µl blood to calculate parasite density by using the following formula: parasites/µl= # of parasites in 8HPF/2000)× actual RBC.

    Measured: From baseline to the time point when the blood parasite count is zero(up to a maximum of 5 days)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Number of participants with adverse events determined by Vital sign(body temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate): pre dose, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post dose on Day 1: then 6, 12, 18, 24 hours post dose on each day during domiciles period until at least two consecutive normal temperature readings are obtained, then it will measure daily until Day 6.

    On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 3

  5. Time to maximum concentration (Tmax) on Day 1 and Day 3

    The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post dose. *The 24h sampling of first post dose should be taken before the second dose.

    On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 3

  6. Half-life (T1/2)

    The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose

    Measured: Day 3

  7. Clearance (CL/F )

    The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose

    Measured: Day 3

  8. The apparent volume of distribution during the terminal elimination phase following extravascular administration (Vz/F)

    The parent drug in plasma samples will be analyzed. On Day 3: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 144, and 192 hours post dose

    Measured: Day 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing KAE609 in people with Malaria, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Parasite clearance time (time frame: From baseline to the time point when the blood parasite count is zero(up to a maximum of 5 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01524341, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2013.
