- In cohort 1, infants aged > 28 days; in cohort 2, neonates of a term age 0 to = 28
days

- Microscopically confirmed diagnosis of acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum
malaria or mixed infections with an asexual Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia of >

Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of severe malaria (according to World Health Organization definition)

volume) in the past 30 days

- Patients unable to swallow or whose drinking is impaired

- Family history of congenital prolongation of the QTc interval or sudden death or with
any other clinical condition known to be associated with prolongation of the QTc
interval such as history of symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias, with clinically relevant
bradycardia or with severe cardiac disease

- Disturbances of electrolyte balance (e.g. hypokalaemia or hypomagnesaemia)

- Presence of any age-adjusted clinically or hematologically relevant laboratory and
blood chemistry abnormalities

- Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
