id="_tafenoquine_Introduction_">Introduction</h2><p>Tafenoquine is an antimalarial agent that was approved by the FDA in 2018 for (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.1" rid="tafenoquine.REF.1">1</a>) preventing malaria (brand name
Arakoda, 100 mg tablets), and for (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.2" rid="tafenoquine.REF.2">2</a>) the radical cure of malaria (brand name Krintafel, 150 mg tablets)
caused by Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.1" rid="tafenoquine.REF.1">1</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.2" rid="tafenoquine.REF.2">2</a>).</p><p>Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which infects mosquitos and is spread
to humans when an infected mosquito bites a person. In 2018 the World Health
Organization (WHO) estimated 228 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.3" rid="tafenoquine.REF.3">3</a>).</p><p>There are several clinical patterns of malaria that are caused by different species
of the parasite. In P. vivax malaria, the parasite can lie dormant in the liver as
hypnozoites, until it emerges weeks or months later, to cause a relapse of malaria.
In combination with an antimalarial active against the blood stage parasites,
tafenoquine provides a radical cure of P. vivax by targeting its dormant liver
stage, thus preventing malaria relapse.</p><p>Tafenoquine is the second drug of its kind (with hypnozoiticidal activity) to be
approved by the FDA. The first was primaquine, approved in 1952. Because of its
longer half-life, tafenoquine can be dosed less frequently than primaquine, which
may improve compliance. For example, when used for the radical cure of P. vivax
malaria, tafenoquine is taken as a single 300 mg dose (in uncomplicated cases, in
persons aged 16 years and older). In contrast, primaquine radical cure is
recommended to be given daily over 14 days (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.4" rid="tafenoquine.REF.4">4</a>), or higher doses over 7 days (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.5" rid="tafenoquine.REF.5">5</a>).</p><p>Tafenoquine, like primaquine, should not be used in individuals with
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. In the case of tafenoquine, an
individual with &#x0003c;70% of normal G6PD activity is considered deficient and should
not take the drug (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.6" rid="tafenoquine.REF.6">6</a>).Worldwide, approximately 400 million people have a deficiency of the G6PD
enzyme, but most are asymptomatic and do not know they are at risk (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.7" rid="tafenoquine.REF.7">7</a>). A lack of G6PD in red blood
cells makes the cells susceptible to damage by oxidative stress. Usually, only low
levels of oxidative stress occur naturally, and so the condition is undetected.</p><p>However, certain drugs, which include tafenoquine and primaquine, are oxidizing
agents. In people with G6PD deficiency, these drugs cause irreparable oxidative
damage to the red blood cells, which are then rapidly destroyed (hemolysis). This
can lead to a potentially life-threatening deficiency of mature red blood cells
(hemolytic anemia).</p><p>The FDA-approved drug label for tafenoquine states that testing for G6PD must be
performed before starting tafenoquine therapy, and that all individuals should be
monitored for signs of hemolysis (<a href="/books/NBK562890/table/tafenoquine.T.the_fda_drug_label_for_taf/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobtafenoquineTthefdadruglabelfortaf">Table 1</a>). In addition,
because of the risk of tafenoquine causing fetal harm in a woman pregnant with a
fetus with G6PD deficiency, pregnancy testing is highly recommended in women of
reproductive age. Consequently, tafenoquine therapy is contraindicated in adults
when the G6PD status is either unknown, intermediate or deficient, namely, enzyme
activity lower than 70%, in pregnancy, and in breastfeeding mothers when the
infant&#x02019;s G6PD status is either unknown or deficient (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.1" rid="tafenoquine.REF.1">1</a>). To date, no safety studies have been reported
in children.</p></div><div class="h2"></div><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figtafenoquineTthefdadruglabelfortaf"><a href="/books/NBK562890/table/tafenoquine.T.the_fda_drug_label_for_taf/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 1.

available vaccine is moderately effective and acts only against <i>Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum)</i> species (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.8" rid="tafenoquine.REF.8">8</a>). Widely recommended antimalarial drugs such as
tafenoquine can be used for prevention &#x02013;&#x02013; this is known as chemoprophylaxis. The
type of chemoprophylaxis recommended depends upon the individual taking the
prophylaxis (namely, age, pregnancy status, and medical comorbidities) and the
nature of travel &#x02013;&#x02013; specifically, the countries travelled to, the length of stay,
the species of Plasmodium that are most prevalent, and the level of drug
resistance.</p><p>Despite chemoprophylaxis, travel to malaria-endemic areas is not without risk.
Individuals at elevated risk for malaria complications include pregnant women (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.9" rid="tafenoquine.REF.9">9</a>) and adults who have had their
spleen removed (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.10" rid="tafenoquine.REF.10">10</a>). If travel
cannot be avoided, chemoprophylaxis should be combined with additional precautions
to avoid mosquito bites, such as bed nets and repellents. In 2018, the WHO estimated
228 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide, and malaria was responsible for
405,000 deaths. (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.3" rid="tafenoquine.REF.3">3</a>)</p><p>Malaria is found in over 100 countries and occurs throughout most tropical regions in
the world. These regions include large parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South
America, and parts of the Middle East and Pacific islands (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.3" rid="tafenoquine.REF.3">3</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.11" rid="tafenoquine.REF.11">11</a>). Individuals who are heterozygous carriers for sickle cell disease
and G6PD deficiency have a protective advantage against malaria, and as a result,
the frequency of such genetic conditions is higher in countries where malaria is
endemic (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.12" rid="tafenoquine.REF.12">12</a>).</p><p>Malaria is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected <i>Anopheles</i> mosquito. Only female mosquitos spread the infection
(females feed on human blood, males feed on nectar). Although malaria can also be
spread by sharing contaminated needles or via a contaminated blood transfusion,
these are rare means of transmission.</p><p>There are several different Plasmodium species, but only a few species cause the most
malaria cases:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>

<i>P. knowlesi</i>
</div><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Less common</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Found in some Southeast Asia areas</div></li></ul></li></ul><p>The first stage of malaria infection begins when an infected mosquito bites the human
host. Typically, mosquitos bite at dusk, or during the night. As the mosquito feeds,
infective parasite sporozoites (the motile spore-like stage in the life cycle of
this parasitic sporozoan, which is the infective agent) are inoculated into humans.
The sporozoites travel to the liver, where they invade liver cells and asexually
reproduce to form schizonts. The liver schizonts contain daughter merozoites. This
process is asymptomatic, and because it occurs outside of the red blood cell
(erythrocyte), it is known as the exoerythrocytic stage.</p><p>Some species of the parasite (<i>P. vivax</i> and <i>P. ovale</i>) have an additional dormant stage in the liver.
The parasite exists as hypnozoites, which can stay in the liver for weeks or months
without causing any clinical symptoms.</p><p>The second stage of malaria infection is the erythrocytic stage. It begins when the
liver schizonts rupture and release the daughter merozoites into the bloodstream.
The merozoites invade red blood cells, digest hemoglobin, produce a toxic metabolite
(hemozoin), and damage red blood cell membranes. Infected, brittle red blood cells
are rapidly broken down (hemolysis) and if too many damaged red blood cells get
trapped in the spleen, the spleen can rapidly enlarge (splenic sequestration).</p><p>Some of the daughter merozoites differentiate into male or female gametocytes (sexual
forms). When they are ingested by a mosquito, they mature, fertilize and reproduce,
and develop into sporozoites. When the mosquito feeds again, the sporozoites are
inoculated into another human host and the cycle of malaria transmission is
complete.</p><p>The erythrocytic stage of malaria is usually associated with fever, and malaria
should always be suspected in anyone with a fever who has recently returned from a
malaria-endemic region, even if antimalarial chemoprophylaxis was correctly
followed. Other symptoms and signs include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
tachycardia (fast heart rate), diaphoresis (sweating), chills, and myalgia (muscle
pain).</p><p>The complications of malaria infection include severe anemia, cerebral malaria, and
multi-organ failure. Without correct diagnosis and prompt treatment, malaria can be
fatal.</p></div><div id="tafenoquine.Drug_Tafenoquine"><h2 id="_tafenoquine_Drug_Tafenoquine_">Drug: Tafenoquine</h2><p>Malaria drugs can be used to prevent malaria as primary prophylaxis, to prevent
infection (started before travel to a country where malaria is endemic) or as
terminal prophylaxis to prevent a relapse of malaria (started after returning home
from prolonged travels in malaria-endemic regions) (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.13" rid="tafenoquine.REF.13">13</a>).</p><p>Tafenoquine is one of 2 antimalarials, the other is primaquine, that is used both for
primary prophylaxis and radical cure of malaria. Specifically, tafenoquine is
approved by the FDA for 2 indications:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Prophylaxis of malaria, in adults (Arakoda, 100 mg tablets) (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.11" rid="tafenoquine.REF.11">11</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.14" rid="tafenoquine.REF.14">14</a>).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Radical cure of <i>P. vivax</i> malaria, in persons
aged 16 years and older (Krintafel, 150 mg tablets) (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.2" rid="tafenoquine.REF.2">2</a>).</div></li></ul><p>The &#x0201c;radical cure&#x0201d; of <i>P. vivax</i> malaria refers to the
complete elimination of the malaria parasite from the body. Specifically, the
elimination of both parasites in the blood and parasites that are lying dormant in
the liver, known as hypnozoites, which can cause malaria relapse weeks or months
after travel. This occurs in malaria caused by <i>P.
vivax</i> (a common cause of malaria) and <i>P.
ovale</i> (a less common cause).</p><p>Tafenoquine is the most recent addition to the drug family of 8-aminoquinoline
antimalarials, which only includes one other actively prescribed drug: primaquine.
Both drugs provide malaria prophylaxis, and both drugs can prevent relapse of
<i>P. vivax</i> malaria. However, tafenoquine has a
longer half-life, allowing for less frequent dosing (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.13" rid="tafenoquine.REF.13">13</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.15" rid="tafenoquine.REF.15">15</a>-<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.17" rid="tafenoquine.REF.17">17</a>).</p><p>For prophylaxis against all species of malaria, treatment with tafenoquine (Arakoda)
is started just 3 days before travel (loading regimen of 200 mg once daily for 3
days). Tafenoquine is then taken once a week while traveling in the malaria-endemic
area (maintenance regimen of 200 mg once weekly, starting 7 days after the last
loading dose), with one final dose taken after returning home, away from the
malaria-endemic area (terminal prophylaxis regimen of 200 mg once, 7 days after the
last maintenance dose) (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.1" rid="tafenoquine.REF.1">1</a>).</p><p>For the radical cure of <i>P. vivax</i> malaria, tafenoquine
(Krintafel) is taken as a single 300 mg dose in conjunction with a blood
schizontocidal antimalarial. Previously, the best available treatment for radical
cure of <i>P.vivax</i> was a 14-day course of primaquine,
(<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.2" rid="tafenoquine.REF.2">2</a>) although 7-day courses
are used in some countries (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.5" rid="tafenoquine.REF.5">5</a>).</p><p>Tafenoquine is active against the different forms of the malaria parasite: the
pre-erythrocytic (liver stage), the erythrocytic (red blood cell, asexual form)
stage, and the gametocytes (sexual form). By targeting the pre-erythrocytic stage,
tafenoquine prevents the parasite from developing erythrocytic forms and halts
progression of the disease. Although the molecular target of tafenoquine is not
known, in vitro studies suggest that the drug may inhibit hematin polymerization,
which kills the parasite, and also causes red blood cells to shrink (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.13" rid="tafenoquine.REF.13">13</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.17" rid="tafenoquine.REF.17">17</a>). It is also thought that tafenoquine has
many different metabolites to target the different stages of the parasites (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.18" rid="tafenoquine.REF.18">18</a>).</p><p>Before starting tafenoquine therapy, all adults must be tested for G6PD deficiency.
Individuals with G6PD deficiency have red blood cells that are susceptible to
oxidative damage. If exposed to oxidizing agents such as tafenoquine or primaquine,
the red blood cells become rigid, get trapped, and are subsequently destroyed by
macrophages in the spleen, bone marrow, and liver. The rapid destruction of red
blood cells is called hemolysis, and it may result in hemolytic anemia (low number
of red blood cells due to increased hemolysis without sufficient production of new
cells).</p><p>The degree of G6PD activity can vary based on the allele(s) present in the
individual. Individuals with a partial decrease in G6PD function are still
susceptible to hemolysis while taking 8-aminoquinoline antimalarial drugs.
Primaquine can be prescribed for individuals with at least 30% of the normal levels
of G6PD enzyme activity. Individuals with intermediate (30&#x02013;70%) levels of activity
should be monitored for hemolysis. Tafenoquine, however, should not be given to
individuals with less than 70% of the normal G6PD enzymatic activity. (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.6" rid="tafenoquine.REF.6">6</a>)</p><p>Pregnancy testing is also recommended for women of reproductive age, because
tafenoquine may cause fetal harm when given to a woman who is pregnant with a
G6PD-deficient fetus. Therefore, the FDA does not recommend tafenoquine therapy
during pregnancy. Tafenoquine is also contraindicated during breastfeeding when the
infant is G6PD deficient or if the G6PD status of the infant is unknown.</p><p>One study found that in women with normal (&#x0003e;80%) G6PD enzymatic activity,
tafenoquine and primaquine resulted in a similar decline in hemoglobin (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.19" rid="tafenoquine.REF.19">19</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.20" rid="tafenoquine.REF.20">20</a>). The impact of such 8-aminoquinolines is not
clear in individuals with intermediate enzyme activity (30&#x02013;80%). Usually primaquine
is not recommended for those presenting with activity under 30%. Tafenoquine
clinical studies were safe in individuals with more than 70% of activity.</p><p>Adverse reactions to tafenoquine include hemolytic anemia, as discussed above, in
addition to methemoglobinemia (elevations in methemoglobin that require careful
monitoring of individuals with NADH-dependent methemoglobin reductase deficiency);
uncommon psychiatric effects (including anxiety, abnormal dreams, and insomnia); and
serious hypersensitivity reactions (including angioedema and urticaria &#x02013;&#x02013;
tafenoquine therapy should stop and not be re-administered). Due to the long
half-life of tafenoquine (approximately 13&#x02013;19 days), signs or symptoms of
psychiatric and hypersensitivity adverse reactions that may occur could be delayed
in onset, duration, or both, so individuals should be advised to seek medical
attention if symptoms occur.</p></div><div id="tafenoquine.Gene_G6PD"><h2 id="_tafenoquine_Gene_G6PD_">Gene: <i>G6PD</i></h2><p>The G6PD enzyme is encoded by the <i>G6PD</i> gene, which is
located on chromosome Xq28. As such, males are hemizygous for one <i>G6PD</i> allele, making them more susceptible to this X-linked
disorder. Females randomly inactivate one X chromosome during development, resulting
in a mosaic expression of either one X chromosome or the other in their somatic
cells. This mosaicism can occur in the hematopoietic progenitor cells that give rise
to red blood cells, resulting in mixed expression of <i>G6PD</i> alleles. Females with Turner syndrome (45,X) have only one X
chromosome and thus are also hemizygous for the <i>G6PD</i>
gene.</p><p>Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency affects 400 million people worldwide
(<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.7" rid="tafenoquine.REF.7">7</a>), with a worldwide
prevalence of approximately 5%. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency appears
to be protective against malaria infection leading to a higher prevalence (more than
25%) in countries where malaria is, or once was, endemic for example,, tropical
Africa, tropical and subtropical Asia, the Middle East, and some parts of the
Mediterranean (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.21" rid="tafenoquine.REF.21">21</a>-<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.23" rid="tafenoquine.REF.23">23</a>). In the US, G6PD deficiency
is more common among African-Americans, affecting approximately 12% (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.24" rid="tafenoquine.REF.24">24</a>).</p><p>The G6PD enzyme catalyzes the first step in the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMP)
pathway, which converts glucose to pentose sugars for nucleic acid synthesis. In
this step nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) is reduced to NADPH,
which protects cells from oxidative stress. In mature red blood cells, the HMP
pathway is the only source of NADPH. This promotes the generation of reduced
glutathione that protects the sulfhydryl groups of hemoglobin, which are susceptible
to oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and oxygen radicals. Red blood cells that lack
G6PD also have a deficiency of NADPH. (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.25" rid="tafenoquine.REF.25">25</a>)</p><p>Red blood cells that are G6PD and NADPH deficient are more susceptible to oxidative
stress (for example, by reactive oxygen species and hydrogen peroxide). Oxidative
stress occurs naturally, but is increased during illnesses, such as infections and
diabetic ketoacidosis. Oxidative stress can also follow the ingestion of fresh fava
beans (favism), and is an adverse effect of several drugs, for example, the
antimalarial drugs primaquine and tafenoquine, the antibacterials dapsone and
sulfamethoxazole, the skin cancer drug dabrafenib, and the uric acid lowering drugs
pegloticase and rasburicase.</p><p>Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic &#x02013;&#x02013; they have a normal lifespan
and may not know they have G6PD deficiency. However, at birth, they maybe
predisposed to neonatal jaundice, and throughout life, they will be sensitive to
oxidizing agents. All individuals with G6PD deficiency should avoid exposure to
oxidizing agents when possible, including drugs such as tafenoquine.</p><p>Symptomatic individuals with G6PD deficiency may suffer from episodes of acute
hemolytic anemia or chronic non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. The management of
hemolytic episodes depends on the severity of hemolysis, with more severe cases
requiring blood transfusions. Folic acid may be given to prevent the worsening of
anemia in individuals with folate deficiency and to induce formation of new red
blood cells.</p><p>More than 180 genetic variants of the <i>G6PD</i> gene have
been identified so far, with approximately 400 biochemical and enzyme variants
(<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.26" rid="tafenoquine.REF.26">26</a>). Most known <i>G6PD</i> variants are missense, which can also be inherited as
haplotypes that are comprised of more than one variant allele (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.27" rid="tafenoquine.REF.27">27</a>). Large deletions are rare, and a complete
lack of G6PD activity is thought to be fatal in utero.</p><p>The normal (wild-type) copy of the <i>G6PD</i> gene is known
as <i>G6PD</i> B, and is found in most Caucasians, Asians,
and most Africans. Common <i>G6PD</i> variants include:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div><i>G6PD</i> A<i>+</i>

intermittent hemolysis, usually triggered by infection or drugs, but most of the

Gene Variation with Treatment Response</h2><p>Tafenoquine is contraindicated in individuals with G6PD deficiency, and published
drug trials have only included adults with normal (&#x0003e;70%) G6PD activity. However,
one study reported that 2 females with G6PD deficiency were mistakenly diagnosed as
having normal G6PD activity and given tafenoquine. Both females were positive for
the (A-) <i>G6PD</i> variant. While the female who was
homozygous for this variant remained asymptomatic, the female who was heterozygous
for this variant required a blood transfusion, emphasizing the importance of
accurate G6PD testing (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.34" rid="tafenoquine.REF.34">34</a>,

testing can be used to confirm the diagnosis of G6PD deficiency and testing may also
be used to screen females with a family history of G6PD to see if they are
carriers.</p><p>Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is inherited in an X-linked recessive
pattern and most individuals are asymptomatic throughout life.</p><p>X-linked disorders affect males at a much higher rate than females because males only
have one copy of the X chromosome (hemizygous, XY). Since females have 2 copies of
the X chromosome (XX) they tend to be less affected. However, female carriers can
present with a range of phenotypes from no symptoms through a severe deficiency due
to the high frequency of <i>G6PD</i> variants. Females
randomly inactivate one X chromosome in somatic cells during development, resulting
in a mixed population of somatic cells expressing one <i>G6PD</i> allele or the other.</p><p>Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency occurs in homozygous and compound
heterozygous females (who have inherited 2 copies of <i>G6PD</i> deficiency alleles) and in heterozygous females (one normal
<i>G6PD</i> allele and one deficiency <i>G6PD</i> allele) with skewed X-chromosome inactivation of the
functional allele (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.22" rid="tafenoquine.REF.22">22</a>).
Genetic testing alone is insufficient for heterozygous females with one normal
function <i>G6PD</i> allele, as the expression of the 2
alleles will vary between blood cells and over time (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.33" rid="tafenoquine.REF.33">33</a>).</p><p>A heterozygous mother has a 50% chance of passing G6PD deficiency to a son and a 50%
chance of passing the carrier trait to a daughter. Affected fathers pass the variant
<i>G6PD</i> to their daughters, but not to their
sons.</p><p>The FDA recommends that all adults be tested for G6PD deficiency before starting
tafenoquine therapy. In routine clinical practice, G6PD deficiency is diagnosed by
measuring G6PD activity in red blood cells. Two different types of enzyme activity
tests are used: qualitative and quantitative. Often, qualitative tests do not
accurately detect individuals with intermediate G6PD activity, hence the importance
of the quantitative enzyme assay before initiating tafenoquine therapy (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.6" rid="tafenoquine.REF.6">6</a>). False results may be obtained
immediately after a blood transfusion, because transfused cells are likely to have
normal G6PD levels, and immediately after an episode of hemolysis, because young red
blood cells have higher levels of G6PD. Therefore, screening for G6PD should be
performed 2&#x02013;3 months after a blood transfusion or hemolytic episode. Note, false
negatives have been reported (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.25" rid="tafenoquine.REF.25">25</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.33" rid="tafenoquine.REF.33">33</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.36" rid="tafenoquine.REF.36">36</a>).</p><p>In men, if genetic testing determined that an individual was G6PD deficient, the use
of tafenoquine would be contraindicated. However, a negative genetic testing result
cannot be entirely relied upon because only a small subset of <i>G6PD</i> variants are routinely tested for. In addition, the <i>G6PD</i> phenotype may be unpredictable in heterozygous
females because of random X-chromosome inactivation.</p><p>The WHO recommends that neonatal screening be performed in areas where G6PD
deficiency occurs in more than 3&#x02013;5% of males (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.22" rid="tafenoquine.REF.22">22</a>). These populations are primarily in Asia,
Africa, along the Mediterranean and in the Middle East. Screening either uses
quantitative enzyme activity assays, or the WHO-approved fluorescent spot test &#x02013;&#x02013; a
qualitative test that visually identifies NADPH, which is produced by G6PD (if the
blood spot does not fluoresce, the test is positive for G6PD deficiency) (<a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.33" rid="tafenoquine.REF.33">33</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#tafenoquine.REF.37" rid="tafenoquine.REF.37">37</a>). However, a negative fluorescent spot test
does not mean the G6PD activity level is within safe limits for tafenoquine therapy,
this must be ascertained with a quantitative test.</p></div><div id="tafenoquine.Therapeutic_Recommendations"><h2 id="_tafenoquine_Therapeutic_Recommendations_">Therapeutic Recommendations based on Genotype</h2><p>

(Krintafel):</h3><p>
<b>Hemolytic Anemia</b>
</p><p>Due to the risk of hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency, G6PD
testing must be performed before prescribing tafenoquine. Due to the limitations
with G6PD tests, physicians need to be aware of residual risk of hemolysis and
adequate medical support and follow-up to manage hemolytic risk should be
available. Treatment with tafenoquine is contraindicated in patients with G6PD
deficiency or unknown G6PD status. In clinical trials, declines in hemoglobin
levels were reported in some G6PD-normal patients. Monitor patients for clinical
signs or symptoms of hemolysis. Advise patients to discontinue tafenoquine and
seek medical attention if signs of hemolysis occur.</p><p>
<b>G6PD Deficiency in Pregnancy and Lactation</b>
</p><p>
<b>Potential Harm to the Fetus</b>
</p><p>The use of tafenoquine during pregnancy may cause hemolytic anemia in a
G6PD-deficient fetus. Even if a pregnant woman has normal levels of G6PD, the
fetus could be G6PD deficient. Advise females of reproductive potential that
treatment with tafenoquine during pregnancy is not recommended and to avoid
pregnancy or use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months after
the last dose of tafenoquine. If a pregnancy is detected during tafenoquine use,
discontinue tafenoquine as soon as possible and switch to an alternative
prophylactic drug for malaria during pregnancy.</p><p>
<b>Potential Harm to the Breastfeeding Infant</b>
</p><p>A G6PD-deficient infant may be at risk for hemolytic anemia from exposure to
tafenoquine through breast milk. Infant G6PD status should be checked before
breastfeeding begins. Tafenoquine is contraindicated in breastfeeding women when
the infant is found to be G6PD deficient or the G6PD status of the infant is
unknown. Advise the woman with a G6PD-deficient infant or if the G6PD status of
the infant is unknown not to breastfeed during treatment with tafenoquine and
for 3 months after the final dose.</p><p>
<b>Methemoglobinemia</b>
</p><p>Asymptomatic elevations in methemoglobin have been observed in the clinical
trials of tafenoquine. Institute appropriate therapy if signs or symptoms of
methemoglobinemia occur. Carefully monitor individuals with nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent methemoglobin reductase deficiency. Advise
patients to discontinue tafenoquine and seek medical attention if signs of
methemoglobinemia occur.</p><p><b>Please review the complete therapeutic recommendations that are located
