About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Randomized, Dose-finding Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of a Novel Malaria Vaccine, MSP3-CRM-Vac4All/ Alhydrogel®, in Healthy Adults

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

Read the 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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MSP3-CRM-Vac4All/ Alhydrogel® in people with Malaria,Falciparum, run by Vac4All at 1 site in Mali.

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 6 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mali. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To measure the frequency and grade of each solicited local and systemic reactions during the 7 days following each vaccination of MSP3-CRM-Vac4All/ Alhydrogel® for each dose levels (3 µg, 10 µg and 30 µg), administered on Day 1, 28 and 56 (time frame: Over 7 days following vaccination). The study lists 4 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 Feb 2023.
