There are about 34 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Papua New Guinea. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety or a revised weight band tafenoquine dose in vivax malaria patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - is a revised weight-based TQ regimen (TQRevised: target dose 7.5mg/kg) non-inferior to high dose primaquine (7mg/kg over 7 days) - is a revised weight-based TQ regimen (TQRevised: target dose 7.5mg/kg) superior to fixed dose tafenoquine (300mg) - is the tolerability and safety of TQRevised acceptable - is TQRevised acceptable and feasible Participants will receive a tafenoquine target dose 7.5mg/kg in weight bands. Researchers will compare this to patients receiving a fixed dose tafenoquine and high dose primaquine to see if safe and effective.
