Open Label Pharmacokinetic Study of OZ439 and Piperaquine on Administration of OZ439+TPGS Granules for Oral Suspension Alone or With Either Piperaquine Phosphate Tablets or Granules for Oral Solution in Healthy Volunteers

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
A healthy volunteer study to characterise the exposure of the two study medications, following administration of OZ439 + TPGS granules with piperaquine phosphate granules (intended for children) and with piperaquine phosphate tablets (intended for adults). Ideally, to confirm the exposure demonstrated in an earlier bioavailability study.
