NCT ID NCT07470424

First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This early-stage trial will give 24 healthy adults three different malaria drugs—piperaquine, pyronaridine, and artesunate—alone and together to see how they interact. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and watch for side effects. The goal is to learn about safety and dosing, not to treat malaria.
