A Phase III trial of ganaplacide‑lumefantrine (GanLum, KLU156) met its primary non‑inferiority endpoint vs artemether‑lumefantrine, with a PCR‑corrected Day‑29 cure rate of 97.4% (estimand). The drug combines a novel mechanism (ganaplacide) with once‑daily lumefantrine and shows promise against partially resistant strains and gametocytes.
