All Genders
20-60 years
Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
This study aims to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of KAE609 in adult male patients with acute, uncomplicated malaria due to P.falciparum monoinfection after single dosing with KAE609
Detailed Description
There will be a total of approximately 45 patients recruited into this study and six doses of KAE609 and will be investigated.The dose groups will run in sequence. Patient will be given a single dose ...
