NCT ID NCT07403643
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a drug called tafenoquine in 60 children with vivax malaria in Papua New Guinea. Vivax malaria can hide in the liver and come back, so the goal is to find a treatment that clears the infection completely. The children will receive tafenoquine along with standard malaria medicines and be monitored for 84 days.
