The webinar took place earlier this month and featured two new studies using WWARN-hosted clinical trial data showing that the dosing of the 8-aminoquinolin drugs primaquine and tafenoquine can be substantially improved. These analyses include the majority of all studied vivax malaria patients who received 8-aminoquinoline drugs over the last 20 years. Laboratory work confirms these findings and provides important new information on the mechanism of action of these essential medicines.
