See [Section 9.4.4](#page-73-0) for missing data handling for the supportive analysis usin...

PCR-corrected ACPR and uncorrected ACPR
9.5.1.1 PCR-corrected ACPR and uncorrected ACPR At each visit, the mean ACPR rate with 95% confidence intervals will be provided using Pearson-Clopper method for each treatment group. Data will be handled as follows: - Treatment failures after 7 days (i.e., Day 8) due to reinfection based on PCR genotyping are not cons...

Parasite clearance time (PCT) and fever clearance time (FCT)
9.5.1.3 Parasite clearance time (PCT) and fever clearance time (FCT) Descriptive statistics (mean, standard error, median, quartiles) will be presented using the Kaplan-Meier method. Kaplan-Meier curves will be provided. PCT will be calculated based on uncorrected parasite counts. Patients without parasite clearance fo...

Recrudescence and reinfection
9.5.1.4 Recrudescence and reinfection Reinfection is defined as appearance of asexual parasites after clearance of initial infection with a genotype different from those parasites present at baseline. Reinfection must be confirmed by PCR analysis. Recrudescence is defined as appearance of asexual parasites after cleara...
