About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2a Single Centre, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Dose-escalation, Age De-escalation, Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Plasmodium Falciparum Transmission-reducing Activity of Monoclonal Antibody TB31F in Malaria-exposed Malian Adults and Children

Mali faces a significant challenge with malaria, particularly among its younger population. While existing measures like seasonal chemoprevention and vaccination have shown efficacy, further innovations are necessary to combat this disease. The monoclonal antibody TB31F shows promise in reducing the transmission of malaria. This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal antibody TB31F.

Model description
We will perform two sequential stages of clinical research, each recruiting a distinct cohort of participants to confirm: 1. TB31F safety and 2. TB31F efficacy. The safety cohort will be composed of the three dose groups in adults (groups 1, 2 and 3) and two dose groups in children (groups 4 and 5). The efficacy cohort will be composed of two dose groups in adults and children (group 6). Participants will be randomised within each treatment group to receive a single sub-cutaneous dose of TB31F or placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing TB31F and Normal saline in people with Malaria,Falciparum, run by Radboud University Medical Center 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 17 inclusion and 20 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 22 Jan 2026. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Occurrence of at least possibly related solicited local and systemic adverse events (time frame: within 7 days of monoclonal antibody TB31F administration). The study lists 9 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 22 Jan 2026.
