About this study

Official title: Phase 1b Controlled Double Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of the Candidate Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria Protein 010 (FMP010) Administered Intramuscularly With Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) Biologicals' Adjuvant AS01B

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational malaria vaccine is safe and induces an immune response against malaria when tested in adults living in the United States.

Read the detailed description

Study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity fo the candidate Plasmodium falciparum malaria protein 10 (FMP010). Malaria-experienced adults will be enrolled and randomized into 2 groups. Subjects will receive full dose FMP010 antigen (approximately 50 μg) in 0.5 mL AS01B adjuvant or licensed rabies vaccine Rabipur (by Novartis) supplied in single dose vials containing lyophilized antigen with 1.0 mL of diluent (sterile water) for injection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Solicited Adverse Events With Each Vaccination by Grade

    Vaccinations were given at 0-, 1-, 2-month interval, occurrence and intensity of solicited symptoms on day of vaccination (Day 0) and Days 1-7 after each vaccination Grade 1 = Mild Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe

    Measured: After each vaccination (Day 0), follow-up visits were scheduled on Days 1, 2, 3, and 7

  2. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events at Specified Grades

    Vaccinations were given at 0-, 1-, 2-month interval, number of subjects reporting unsolicited symptoms at specified grades over a 30-day follow-up period (day of vaccination and 29 subsequent days) after each vaccination

    Grade 1 = Mild Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe

    Measured: After each vaccination (Day 0), 30 day f/u period post vaccination

  3. Number of Subjects With the Occurrence of Serious Adverse Events

    Vaccinations were given at 0-, 1-, 2-month interval, number of subjects with the occurrence of serious adverse events at days 0-7 post vaccination

    Measured: After each vaccination (Day 0), follow-up visits were scheduled on Days 1, 2, 3, and 7 post vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Antibody Titers Per Subject by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay in 50 µg Dose Group

    Antibody concentrations will be presented by reporting the summarized Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) values with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) (not presented in results), at each time point at which blood samples are taken for serology.

    Peak responses (Day 70) will be compared by Student's T test on data normalized by log transformation to ascertain presence or absence of significant dose response difference. GMTs are presented without CI data.

    Measured: After each vaccination, blood draws performed on Days 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 112

  2. Antibody Titers Per Subject by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay in Rabies Vaccine Group

    Antibody concentrations will be presented by reporting the summarized Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) values with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) at each time point at which blood samples are taken for serology.

    Peak responses (Day 70) will be compared by Student's T test on data normalized by log transformation to ascertain presence or absence of significant dose response difference. GMTs are presented without CI data.

    Measured: After each vaccination, blood draws performed on Days 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 and 112

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Protein 010 (FMP010) and Rabipur in people with Malaria, run by U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Solicited Adverse Events With Each Vaccination by Grade (time frame: After each vaccination (Day 0), follow-up visits were scheduled on Days 1, 2, 3, and 7). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jun 2023.
