Powerful new malaria drug offers first serious alternative to artemisinin in decades. Novartis’ new drug cured more than 97% of malaria cases in a Phase 3 trial of 1,688 adults and children across 12 African countries, matching or beating current artemisinin-based therapies while killing drug-resistant strains and blocking transmission stages. If regulators approve, it will be the first frontline malaria drug of its kind in over 25 years.
