This is Cohort B2 of the Platform study (NCT05750628) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cipargamin + KLU156 in participants with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria
The Cohort B2 of this Platfom study (NCT05750628) is the open-label, randomized, two-arm combination therapy evaluating a single oral dose of up to three anti-malarial agents as a loose combination vs. standard of care (SoC), Coartem in adult and adolescent participants.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) corrected adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR)
ACPR is defined as the absence of parasitemia on Study Day 29 irrespective of axillary temperature, without previously meeting any of the criteria of Early Treatment Failure (ETF) or Late Clinical Failure (LCF) or Late Parasitological Failure (LPF).
Time frame: Day 29
Parasite clearance time (PCT)
To assess the parasite clearance time (PCT) of oral anti malarial agent versus the standard of care (SoC) in participants with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria
Time frame: up to Day 7
PCR-uncorrected ACPR
To assess the 28-day cure rate of an anti malarial agent administered orally as combination therapy versus the SoC in participants with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria.
Time frame: Day 29
Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration sampling time (AUClast)
To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the anti-malarial agent administered orally as combination therapy.
Time frame: Day 8
Maximum observed concentration (Cmax)
To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the anti-malarial agent administered orally as combination therapy.
Time frame: Day 8
Time to reach maximum observed concentration (Tmax)
To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the anti-malarial agent administered orally as combination therapy.
Time frame: Day 8
