Figure 1 Study flow diagram
A new dose (cohort) was initiated after review of the findings from the preceding cohort. During the 36 h study period, parasitaemia, artefenomel exposure, and other variables were assessed. Definitive treatment to cure malaria involved standard drugs (mefloquine plus artesunate or chloroquine plus primaquine) and was given to avoid recrudescence. Patients infected with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax followed the same clinical protocols. The Lancet Infectious Diseases , 61-69DOI: ( /S (15) ) Copyright © 2016 Phyo et al.
