Logistic regression analysis of relapse-free efficacy at 6 months (modified intention to treat population)

n Patients relapse-free Patients relapsed Comparison with DP alone
Comparison with primaquine plus DP
Adjusted odds ratio of relapse* 95% CI p value Adjusted odds ratio of relapse 95% CI
DP alone 50 6 (12%) 44 (88%) .. .. .. .. ..
Tafenoquine plus DP 50 11 (22%) 39 (78%) 0·43 0·14–1·35 0·149 4·57 1·75–11·97

Data are n (%) unless stated otherwise. DP=dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine. Model includes terms for battalion and treatment. Patients who did not show initial clearance of Plasmodium vivax parasitemia, take a concomitant medication with antimalarial activity, have a missing day 180 assessment, or have a zero Plasmodium vivax asexual parasite count at baseline were to be excluded from the analysis. No patients met these criteria.

*

An odds ratio <1 represents a smaller chance of relapse compared with DP alone.

An odds ratio <1 represents a smaller chance of relapse compared with primaquine plus DP.
