About
This study is a single center, prospective, cross-over phase 1 trial. Eighteen subjects will be enrolled in the study evaluating the metabolism, pharmacokinetic behavior and tolerability of primaquine enantiomers and placebo over the course of 5 days.
Full description
Each subject will receive a 15 mg dose of one enantiomer (SPQ or RPQ or Placebo) daily for up to 5 days, with careful monitoring of hematological parameters before and after each dose. In addition to the general CMP14 safety criteria, any subject who displays a fractional hemoglobin drop of 15% below his/her baseline value, then drug administration will stop (e.g. for baseline Hgb of 14 g/dL, if there is at any point a decrease of 2.1 g/dL). Hematocrit will be similarly monitored, with proportional stop criteria. Elevation in total bilirubin to 2.0 mg/dL or greater will also be used as a stopping criterion. After stopping drug administration (5 days or whenever stop criteria are met), subjects will have a 3-week washout period, and the study repeated with the other enantiomer, and similarly with Placebo.
