Novartis Phase III trial for next-generation malaria treatment KLU156 (GanLum) meets primary endpoint, with potential to combat antimalarial resistance

Novartis Phase III trial for next-generation malaria treatment KLU156 (GanLum) meets primary endpoint, with potential to combat antimalarial resistance
arcticnovartis

  • Phase III trial for KLU156 (ganaplacide/lumefantrine, or GanLum), meets primary endpoint of non-inferiority to standard of care Coartem® (artemether-lumefantrine)
  • Demonstrates PCR-corrected cure rate of 97.4% based on estimand method, equating to 99.2% under conventional per protocol analysis
  • If approved, GanLum would represent first major innovation in malaria treatment since 1999, with potential to kill drug-resistant parasites and block transmission
