Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
DSM265 has completed a Phase 2a clinical trial (NCT02123290) for single-dose treatment of malaria caused by P. falciparum and P. vivax infection. Results from this trial demonstrate rapid clearance of P. falciparum parasitaemia but less effective clearance kinetics for P. vivax [3]. Extended observation identified a resistance-associated mutation in PfDHODH in a number of individuals with recurrence of P. falciparum malaria, leading to the recommendation that further clinical development takes this into consideration to safeguard the therapeutic potential of DSM265.
