Abstract

Adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) was 100% at day 42 for pyronaridine-artesunate in both northern and southern Myanmar.

  • Four clinical studies assessed the efficacy of pyronaridine-artesunate for treating uncomplicated malaria in Myanmar.
  • A total of 196 patients with confirmed malaria received the treatment once daily for 3 days.
  • Day-3 parasite clearance was observed in 96.9% of patients (190/196).
  • Mutations in the Kelch propeller domain were detected in 39.0% of malaria isolates.
  • No adverse events were reported, indicating that pyronaridine-artesunate was well tolerated.
