Primary Outcome Measures :
- Number of Participants With at Least 2 CTCAE Grades Increase From Baseline in Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) or Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]The occurrence of at least 2 CTCAE grades increase from baseline in ALT or AST during the 4 weeks study period was evaluated to characterize hepatic safety aspects of single and multiple ascending doses of KAE609 in adult malaria subjects for treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by plasmodium falciparum. If 2 patients in a 10 patient cohort (Cohorts 1 and 2) or 3 patients in a 20 patient cohort (Cohorts 3, 4 and 5) had at least 2 CTCAE grades increase from Baseline in ALT or AST, recruitment was suspended and a review of liver safety (and any other relevant data) by safety review committee was initiated. Any further progression of the study was based on the decision by the safety review committee.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Percentage of Participants With Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-Corrected and Uncorrected Adequate Clinical and Parasitological Response (ACPR) at Day 15 and Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 15, Day 29 ]PCR-corrected and PCR-uncorrected were evaluated at Days 15 and 29 (i.e., 14 and 28 days post-dose). The presence of parasitaemia after 7 days due to reinfection was considered as PCR-corrected ACPR. Missing blood smear data at Day 15 visit and thereafter were not considered as responder for the visit unless there was a later blood smear test indicating no parasitaemia.
- Parasite Clearance Time (PCT) [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Parasite Clearance Time (PCT) is defined as the time from the first dose until the first total and continued disappearance of asexual parasite forms which remained at least a further 48 hours. In case a patient received rescue medication before (parasite) clearance, the time to event was censored at the first use of rescue medication.
- Fever Clearance Time (FCT) [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Fever Clearance Time (FCT) is defined as the time from the first dose until the first time the axillary body temperature decreased below and remained below 37.5°C axillary or 38.0°C oral/tympanic/rectal for at least a further 24 hours. In case a patient received rescue medication before (fever) clearance, the time to event was censored at the first use of rescue medication.
- Time to Recrudescence and Reinfection at Study Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Time to recrudescence is calculated from the date of first study medication to the date of first event. Participants without recrudescence/reinfection after Day 7 are censored at the time of treatment failure or at the time of last parasite assessment if no treatment failure occured.
- Maximum Peak Observed Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 3 ]Maximum Peak Observed Concentration (Cmax)
- Tmax [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 3 ]Tmax
- AUC0-24 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 3 ]AUC0-24
- Half-life (T^1/2) [ Time Frame: Upto day 15 post dose ]Half-life (T^1/2)
