Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the clinical efficacy of TQ and PQ, both co-administered with CQ, for the radical cure of P. vivax malaria in Indian participants with P.vivax malaria aged greater than or equal to 2 years and weighing greater than 10 kg, during 6 months post-treatment (prevention of P. vivax recurrence)  Participants who remain recurrence-free during the 6 months post-treatment (in the absence of concomitant/rescue medication with activity against P. vivax malaria); defined as clearance of blood-stage parasitemia confirmed by 2 consecutive negative blood smears between Day 2 and Day 8, no positive blood smear for P. vivax parasites at any point during the 6-month follow up period, and a negative P. vivax smear at the 6-month assessment. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the occurrence of clinically relevant hemolysis with TQ and PQ co-administered with CQ for the radical cure of P. vivax malaria in Indian participants with P. vivax malaria aged greater than or equal to 2 years and weighing greater than 10 kg  Participants with clinically relevant hemolysis within the first 14 days after first dose of TQ or PQ defined as a decrease in hemoglobin of greater than or equal to 30 percent or greater than 3g per dL from baseline or an overall drop in hemoglobin below 6.0 g per dL or complications thereof (eg, required transfusions, acute renal failure) 
To evaluate the time to recurrence of P. vivax malaria for TQ and PQ co-administered with CQ in Indian participants with P. vivax malaria aged greater than or equal to 2 years and weighing greater than 10 kg  Time to recurrence of P. vivax malaria, with recurrence defined as a positive blood smear for P. vivax parasites within the 6-month follow-up period, after initial clearance of blood-stage parasitemia (2 consecutive negative blood smears between Day 2 and Day 8).  
To evaluate the safety of TQ and PQ co-administered with CQ for the radical cure of P. vivax malaria in Indian participants with P.vivax malaria aged greater than or equal to 2 years and weighing greater than 10 kg.  Incidence of the following safety parameters during the 6 month follow-up period, AEs, TEAEs, SAEs, changes in vital signs and lab parameters.
