Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

First-in-Human, Randomised, Dose-Finding Single Center Study to evaluate three dose levels of a novel malaria vaccine, MSP3-CRM-Vac4All/ Alhydrogel® : 3 µg, 10 µg and 30 µg

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: MSP3-CRM-Vac4All/ Alhydrogel®
Phase 1

Detailed Description

A total of 42 healthy male and female participants aged 18 to 55 years will be enrolled and randomized into one of three cohorts. Three dose levels of a novel malaria vaccine, MSP3-CRM-Vac4All/ Alhydrogel®, will be evaluated: 3 µg, 10 µg and 30 µg total MSP3-CRM197 conjugate protein (corresponding to 1, 3, 10 µg MSP3 protein) administered as a primary series of three intramuscular (IM) injections, given on day 1, day 28, and day 56.

  3. To measure the frequency of Serious Adverse Events (AEs) following the first dose of the vaccine until the last follow-up visit. [Over 12 month following first vaccination]

    Frequency of Serious Adverse Events (AEs) observed from the first dose of the vaccine until the last follow-up visit.

  4. To measure the number of subjects with Adverse Events (AEs) during the 28 days following each vaccination, for each dose levels (3 µg, 10 µg and 30 µg), administered on Day 1, 28 and 56 [Over 28 days following vaccination]

    Number of subjects with Adverse Events (AEs) during the 28 days following each vaccination, for each treatment group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. To measure the frequency and grade of each solicited systemic and local reaction during the 7 days following each vaccination, for the combined active vaccination group [7 days following vaccination]

    Frequency and grade of solicited systemic and local reaction during the 7 days following each vaccination, for the combined active vaccination group.

  2. To measure the frequency and grade of each unsolicited systemic and local reaction during the 28 days for the combined active vaccination group of each dose levels (3 µg, 10 µg and 30 µg), administered on Day 1, 28 and 56 [28 days following vaccination]

    Frequency and grade of unsolicited systemic and local reaction during the 28 days following each vaccination, for the combined active vaccination group.

  3. To measure the number of subjects with Adverse Events during the 28 days each vaccination, for the combined active vaccination group. [28 days after vaccination]

    the number of subjects with Adverse Events during the 28 days each vaccination, for the combined active vaccination group.

  4. To measure the seroresponse rates (defined as the proportion with 2, 3, and 4-fold rise in titre of anti-MSP3 antibodies) determined 28 days after each vaccination as compared to baseline (Day 1), by treatment group. [28 days after vaccination]
