This is an initial efficacy study of a candidate antimalarial in human subjects with uncomplicated malaria caused by the most common and most important parasite in Africa (Plasmodium falciparum). This study will enroll 66 adult Malian males with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria and randomize them to treatment with 1750 mg of the investigational drug (AQ-13) by mouth over 3 days or the current standard treatment, which is 2 doses of Coartem twice daily for 3 days. The hypothesis underlying this study is that AQ-13 will be similarly effective to Coartem for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria due to both chloroquine-susceptible and chloroquine-resistant parasites.

This is an initial efficacy study (Phase 2 Proof of Concept Study) of a candidate antimalarial in human subjects with uncomplicated malaria caused by the most common and most important parasite in Africa (Plasmodium falciparum). This study will enroll 66 adult Malian males with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria and randomize them to treatment with 1750 mg of the investigational drug (AQ-13) by mouth over 3 days or the current standard treatment, which is 80 mg of artemether and 480 mg of lumefantrine twice daily for 3 days. The hypothesis underlying this study is that AQ-13 will be similarly effective to Coartem for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria due to both chloroquine-susceptible and chloroquine-resistant parasites.

| Coartem Treatment | Drug | Adult Malian males 18 years of age or older with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria who agree to participate and provide their informed consent will be randomized to receive treatment with either AQ-13 or Coartem. Intervention 'Coartem Treatment' Participants randomized to the Coartem arm will receive six doses of Coartem tablets over 3 days (each dose containing 80 mg artemether and 480 mg lumefantrine). Those six doses will be given at the time of diagnosis and 8 hours later on day 1, at 24 and 36 hours on day 2 and at 48 and 60 hours on day 3 for total doses of 480 mg artemether and 2880 mg lumefantrine over 3 days. |
|
|
| Within 4 weeks of beginning treatment with either AQ-13 or Coartem |
| Parasite Clearance Time | Blood smears are performed at the time of diagnosis and then (for persons who have been enrolled after providing their informed consent to participate) twice daily until two successive negative smears have been obtained. | From the time of beginning treatment with either AQ-13 or Coartem to the first of 2 successive negative blood smears, assessed during the 1 week inpatient stay. |
| Number of Participants With Recrudescence of Infection | Recrudescence of infection with malaria is the reactivation of the disease after treatment due to incomplete eradication of the parasite, Plasmodium. The parasites causing these recurrences had the same molecular markers as the original infections in these participants, they were considered recrudescences (late treatment failures) rather than new infections. The investigators counted the number of participants who had recrudescence of infection. | Within 42 days after beginning treatment with either AQ-13 or Coartem |
| QTc Interval Response Following Antimalarial Treatment | Corrected QT (QTc) interval was measured at antimalarial dosing and at 4 hours after dosing using HolterCare (version 10.6.0) monitors. | Between dosing and 4 hours after dosing |
| Mean Fever Clearance Time in Days | Body temperature was measured twice daily with an electronic (digital) thermometer during the 5-7 day inpatient stay. Fever clearance time was defined as the first persistently normal temperature (<37·5°C) during week 1 of inpatient stay. | Days 1-7 after beginning treatment with either AQ-13 or Coartem |
| Peak Cmax | One of the pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 that was measured was Peak Cmax (Cmax=maximal concentration) which was calculated based on serial blood levels (35 blood level determinations of AQ-13 and its metabolites over the 42 day study period) and urine collections (24 hour collections for the first four days after beginning treatment). | 42 Days |
| Time to Peak Tmax | One of the pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 that was measured was time to peak tmax (tmax is time from beginning treatment to the maximal concentration), which was calculated based on serial blood levels (35 blood level determinations of AQ-13 and its metabolites over the 42 day study period) and urine collections (24 hour collections for the first four days after beginning treatment). | 42 days |
| 1-week AUC | One of the pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 that was measured was 1-week area under the curve (AUC) for the first 7 days, which was calculated based on serial blood levels (35 blood level determinations of AQ-13 and its metabolites over the 42 day study period) and urine collections (24 hour collections for the first four days after beginning treatment). | 42 days |
| Mean Residence Time | One of the pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 that was measured was Mean Residence Time (MRT), which was calculated based on serial blood levels (35 blood level determinations of AQ-13 and its metabolites over the 42 day study period) and urine collections (24 hour collections for the first four days after beginning treatment). | 42 Days |
| Clearance | One of the pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 that was measured was clearance (Cl/f), which was calculated based on serial blood levels (35 blood level determinations of AQ-13 and its metabolites over the 42 day study period) and urine collections (24 hour collections for the first four days after beginning treatment). | 42 Days |
| Elimination t½ | One of the pharmacokinetic parameters for AQ-13 that was measured was elimination t½ (t½=elimination half-life) which was calculated based on serial blood levels (35 blood level determinations of AQ-13 and its metabolites over the 42 day study period) and urine collections (24 hour collections for the first four days after beginning treatment). | 42 Days |
