  1. ETF = Early treatment failure LCF = Late clinical failure LPF = Late parasitological failure ACPR = Adequate Clinical and parasitological response. As shown in Table 2, the ACPR was 100% for AN and AL on day 14 after treatment. On day 28 cure rates were 100% (62 of 62) and 98.4% (60 of 61) for participants receiving AN and AL, respectively. When the efficacy results were corrected for PCR results, an ACPR of 100% was observed with AL (61/61). This difference between treatment arms was not statistically significant (p > 0.05)
