3-Day malaria cure could transform treatment

NCT ID NCT07468526

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a shorter, higher-dose course of primaquine to cure vivax malaria and prevent it from coming back. Current treatments take too long, so a 3-day course could make it easier for patients to complete therapy. The trial involves over 1,000 people aged 5 and older with normal G6PD enzyme levels. Researchers will check if the short course is safe and effective in stopping malaria relapse for up to 6 months.
