  • Coartem Tablets are for oral administration. Each Coartem Tablet contains 20u00a0mg of artemether and 120u00a0mg lumefantrine. The inactive ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and polysorbate 80.
  • No data
  • No data
  • The efficacy of Coartem Tablets was evaluated for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated malaria caused by u00a0in HIV negative patients in 8 clinical studies. Uncomplicated malaria was defined as symptomatic malaria without signs and symptoms of severe malaria or evidence of vital organ dysfunction. Baseline parasite density ranged from 500/mcL to 200,000/mcL (0.01% to 4% parasitemia) in the majority of patients. Studies were conducted in partially immune and non-immune adults and children (greater than or equal to 5 kg body weight) with uncomplicated malaria in China, Thailand, sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, and South America. Patients who had clinical features of severe malaria, severe cardiac, renal, or hepatic impairment were excluded.
  • The studies include two 4-dose studies assessing the efficacy of the components of the regimen, a study comparing a 4-dose versus a 6-dose regimen, and 5 additional 6-dose regimen studies.
  • Coartem Tablets were administered at 0, 8, 24, and 48 hours in the 4-dose regimen, and at 0, 8, 24, 36, 48, and 60 hours in the 6-dose regimen. Efficacy endpoints consisted of:
  • The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population includes all patients with malaria diagnosis confirmation who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Evaluable patients generally are all patients who had a Day 7 and a Day 28 parasitological assessment or experienced treatment failure by Day 28.
  • Studies 1 and 2:
  • Results of 4-dose studies conducted in areas with high resistance such as Thailand during 1995-96 showed lower efficacy results than the above studies. Therefore, Study 3 was conducted.
  • Study 3:
  • Studies 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8:
  • In study 4, a total of 150 adults and children aged greater than or equal to 2 years received Coartem Tablets. In study 5, a total 164 adults and children greater than or equal to 12 years received Coartem Tablets. Both studies were conducted in Thailand.
  • Study 6 was a study of 165 non-immune adults residing in regions non-endemic for malaria (Europe and Colombia) who contracted acute uncomplicated malaria when traveling in endemic regions.
  • Study 7 was conducted in Africa in 310 infants and children aged 2 months to 9 years, weighing 5 kg to 25 kg, with an axillary temperature greater than or equal to 37.5u00baC.
  • Study 8 was conducted in Africa in 452 infants and children, aged 3 months to 12 years, weighing 5 kg to less than 35 kg, with fever (greater than or equal to 37.5u00b0C axillary or greater than or equal to 38u00b0C rectally) or history of fever in the preceding 24 hours.
  • Results of 28-day cure rate, median PCT, and FCT for Studies 3 to 8 are reported in Table 6.
  • In all studies, patientsu2019 signs and symptoms of malaria resolved when parasites were cleared.
  • In studies conducted in areas with high transmission rates, such as Africa, reappearance of parasites may be due to recrudescence or a new infection.
  • The efficacy by body weight category for studies 7 and 8 is summarized in Table 7.
  • The efficacy of Coartem Tablets for the treatment infections mixed with was assessed in a small number of patients. Coartem Tablets are only active against the erythrocytic phase of malaria. Of the 43 patients with mixed infections at baseline, all cleared their parasitemia within 48 hours. However, parasite relapse occurred commonly (14/43; 33%). Relapsing malaria caused by requires additional treatment with other antimalarial agents to achieve radical cure i.e., eradicate any hypnozoite forms that may remain dormant in the liver.

  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to artemether, lumefantrine, or to any of the excipients should not receive Coartem Tablets .ntttttt
  • Prolongation of the QT Interval
  • Drug Interactions With CYP2D6
  • Instruct patients to avoid medications that are metabolized by the cytochrome enzyme CYP2D6 while receiving Coartem Tablets since these drugs also have cardiac effects (e.g., flecainide, imipramine, amitriptyline, clomipramine) .
  • Contraception
  • Advise patients that use of Coartem may reduce the efficacy of hormonal contraceptives. Advise patients using hormonal contraceptive to use an alternative non-hormonal contraceptive method or add a barrier method of contraception during treatment with Coartem .
  • Use of QT Prolonging Drugs and Other Antimalarials
  • Halofantrine and Coartem Tablets should not be administered within 1 month of each other due to potential additive effects on the QT interval. Antimalarials should not be given concomitantly with Coartem Tablets, unless there is no other treatment option, due to limited safety data .
  • Sequential Use of Quinine
  • QT prolonging drugs, including quinine and quinidine, should be used cautiously following Coartem Tablets due to the long elimination half-life of lumefantrine and the potential for additive effects on the QT interval. ECG monitoring is advised if use of drugs that prolong the QT interval is medically required .
  • Prior Use of Mefloquine
  • Closely monitor food intake in patients who received mefloquine immediately prior to treatment with Coartem Tablets .
  • Drug Interactions With CYP3A4
  • Use Coartem Tablets cautiously in patients receiving other drugs that are substrates, inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, including grapefruit juice, especially those that prolong the QT interval or are antiretroviral drugs. Coadministration of strong inducers of CYP3A4 such as rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. Johnu2019s wort is contraindicated with Coartem Tablets .
  • Hypersensitivity Reactions
  • Inform patients that Coartem Tablets can cause hypersensitivity reactions. Instruct patients to discontinue the drug at the first sign of a skin rash, hives or other skin reactions, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty in swallowing or breathing, any swelling suggesting angioedema (e.g., swelling of the lips, tongue, face, tightness of the throat, hoarseness), or other symptoms of an allergic reaction .
