Primaquine for Vivax Malaria in G6PD Intermediate and Deficient Cases.

A Phase 4 interventional study of Patients with G6PD enzyme activities between 30 and <70% of the AMM will be treated with schizontocidal treatment plus high dose primaquine 1mg/kg/day for 7 days and Patients with G6PD enzyme activities <30% of the AMM will be treated with schizontocidal treatment plus 8 weekly primaquine (0.75mg/kg dose). in Vivax Malaria and G6PD Deficiency, sponsored by Menzies School of Health Research. Recruiting at 4 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-12.

Inclusion criteria

    • P. vivax peripheral parasitaemia (mono-infection)

      • G6PD intermediate or deficient status (G6PD activity 30-\<70% or ≤30% of the adjusted male median as determined by the Standard G6PD (SDBioline, ROK))
      • Fever (temperature ≥37.5⁰C) or history of fever in the preceding 48 hours
      • Age ≥18 years
      • at presentation ≥8g/dl
      • Written
      • Living in the study area and willing to be followed for six months.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    • Danger signs or symptoms of severe malaria

      • Pregnant or lactating females
      • Regular use of drugs with haemolytic potential
      • Known to any of the study drugs.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
