The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item, patient-reported scale. designed to evaluate five dimensions of fatigue: general fatigue (items 1, 5, 12, 16), physical fatigue (items (items 2, 8, 14, 20), reduced motivation (items 3, 6, 10, 17), reduced activity (items 4, 9, 15, 18), and mental fatigue (items 7, 11, 13, 19) (Smets-1995). Items are scored 1-5, with 10 positively phrased items reverse scored (items 2, 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19). This scale has been used to assess treatment outcomes in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, women with fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, patients undergoing anti-cancer treatment, and the impact of fatigue on the quality of life in rheumatoid arthritis. Total scale score, and each of the 5 subscales scores will be calculated. MFI subscales are scored by summing four items, each has five possible responses giving a range of possible scores from 4 to 20.
Time to sustained clinical resolution of all the following symptoms of babesiosis: sweats, joint aches, cough, loss of appetite, muscle aches, headache, chills or shivering, feeling hot or feverish, nausea, fatigue (low energy or tiredness), and vomiting. The time to achieve sustained clinical resolution will be the date when patients first self-report a 7-day period without these symptoms relative to the start of tafenoquine or placebo treatment.
Clinical recovery from COVID-19 symptoms was defined as: temperature \< or equal to 37.7 degrees Celsius (surface by infra-red or oral), respiratory rate \< or equal to 24/minute on room air, shortness of breath is absent on a patient-report scale, and cough is mild or absent on a patient-reported scale.
Number of Participants with One or More protocol-defined serious ophthalmic safety event (SOSE) assessed by retinal changes from baseline using SD-OCT and qFAF. SOSE is assessed by significant retinal changes from baseline using SD-OCT and qFAF.
