OZ439 PhIIa Study in Plasmodium Falciparum: Extended Observation

March 17, 2017 updated by: Medicines for Malaria Venture

The Extended Observation Over a Period of 28 Days of the Effects of Single Doses of OZ439 on the Recrudescence of Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria - a PhIIa, Open Label Study in Adult Patients

This study aims to investigate the concentration dependent effects of OZ439 on the clearance of P. falciparum parasites in patients, specifically the determination of an in-vivo minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of OZ439. Characterisation of PK-PD (Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic) relationships is essential for rational evidence based dosing. The adaptive investigation of a range of doses will provide the best chance of accurate PK-PD characterisation, allowing the observation of Plasmodium falciparum growth dynamics and the subsequent identification of MIC and MPC (minimum parasiticidal concentration). Additionally the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of OZ439 will be confirmed. The PK/PD relationship between OZ439 exposure and subsequent effects on parasitaemia will be investigated.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 60 years (Adult)
