New hope for malaria patients with G6PD deficiency?
NCT ID NCT07468513
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how safe and effective primaquine is for treating vivax malaria in people with intermediate or deficient G6PD enzyme levels. About 100 adults with confirmed malaria and G6PD deficiency will receive either a high daily dose or a weekly dose of primaquine. The goal is to find a treatment that works without causing serious side effects.
