Cure Rate | Drug: KAE609 | Phase 2 |
the study is comprised of 4 sequential cohorts, in total there will be up to 48 patients enrolled in the study.
cohort 1: 6-12 patients receive 75mg single dose. cohort 2: 6-12 patients receive 150mg single dose. cohort 3: 6-12 patients receive 225mg single dose. cohort 4: 6-12 patients receive 300mg single dose. After approximately every 6 patients in any cohort have been treated with a given dose and complete the first 15 days, a safety and tolerability data review will be conducted by a Data Monitoring Committee(DMC). Consensus agreement of DMC is required to either escalate to the next dose level or expand a given cohort with an additional 6 patients in order to obtain more safety data.

- 28-day Cure Rate [ Time Frame: Day 28 ]28-day cure rate was measured by the endpoint of complete cure without recrudescence before Day 29. The primary variable of 28-day cure rate was defined as the proportion of patients with clearance of asexual parasitemia (by blood film) by day 6 of the study, and without subsequent recrudescence (by blood film).
