To demonstrate the safety of artemether-lumefantrine after 3 days of treatment in patients with acute, uncomplicated falciparum malaria by testing the null hypothesis that the rate of auditory abnormalities is ≥ 15% in the population treated with artemether-lumefantrine as assessed by ABR at Day 7 following initiation of treatment compared with their baseline values. An "auditory nerve abnormality" is here defined as a greater than 0.30 ms change in Wave III latency from baseline to Day 7. Exact Pearson-Clopper two-sided 95% confidence limits were constructed for all three treatment groups.
