Clinical Trial Description

The study will be an open-labelled randomized clinical trial to determine therapeutic efficacy. Note that this will not be an Investigational New Drug application, as only World Health Organization-approved drugs will be used at dosage and for conditions approved. Eligible patients willing to participate will first be tested prior to enrolment for their glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) status by the gold standard spectrophotometric analysis. The investigators will exclude from the study any G6PD deficient (or intermediate females) patient. Treatment allocation will be randomized between i) 7 days of artesunate (2 mg/kg/day for 7 days) alone (Arm1), ii) same artesunate regimen + 0.25 mg/kg/day 14 days of primaquine (Arm2) and iii) same artesunate regimen + 0.5 mg/kg/day 14 days of primaquine (Arm3). All patients will be relocated to a no-transmission city to make sure they are not reinfected during the follow-up. Follow-up will be performed every 24-48h for 90 days. At the end of the follow-up period, all patients that did not receive primaquine (arm1) will be treated according to national guidelines (14 days at 0.25mg/kg/day). Patients will additionally be followed monthly for three months after the end of the relocation. ;
