Efficacy of SJ733 in Adults With Uncomplicated Plasmodium Falciparum or Vivax Malaria
Peru22 participantsStarted 2021-04-14
Plain-language summary
This Phase 2a trial recruits adult patients with uncomplicated P. vivax or P. falciparum blood-stage malaria mono-infection. The study drug SJ733 will be administered to examine its antimalarial efficacy, safety, and tolerability. This study also evaluates whether or not a fixed dose of the pharmacoenhancer cobicistat when given in combination with SJ733 significantly improves drug efficacy.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female, aged 18 to 70 years of age (inclusive) at screening.
. Body weight between 45 kg and 90 kg inclusive
. Presence of mono-infection of P. falciparum or P. vivax confirmed by:
. Fever, as defined by axillary temperature ≥ 37.5°C or oral/rectal/tympanic temperature ≥ 38°C, or history of fever in the previous 24 hours (history of fever must be documented) and,
. Written informed consent provided by participant, in accordance with local practice. If the participant is unable to write, witnessed consent is permitted according to local ethical considerations.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
