Treatment and study plan

KAE609

Drug

KAE609 was supplied as capsules for oral use.

Primary outcomes

  1. 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)

    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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events

    Time frame: vital signs: Days 1 through 6; ECG: Days1, 2, 3; Labs: Days 2, 3, 5, study completion

    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. ECG: 3-4 hours post dose on day1; pre dose, 3-4 hours post dose on Day 2; pre dose, 3-4 hours post dose on Day 3 and study completion. Lab evaluation: Day 2, Day3 and Day5, study completion.

  2. Area under the curve (AUC)0-24h on Day 1 and Day 3

    Time frame: 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

  3. The accumulation ratio (Racc) (=AUC0-24h, day3/AUC0-24h, day1)

    Time frame: 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

  4. Maximum concentration (Cmax) on Day 1 and Day 3

    Time frame: 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

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

    Time frame: 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

  6. Half-life (T1/2)

    Time frame: Day 3

    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

  7. Clearance (CL/F )

    Time frame: Day 3

    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
