Trial overview
Official title: Adjuvant justification study of candidate malaria vaccines (257049), administered according to a 0, 1, 2 months schedule .
Trial description: In this study, two experimental malaria vaccines (with adjuvants) are tested to evaluate and characterise how the vaccine exactly works on the immune system by comparing it to a control (without adjuvant). The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
Primary purpose:
Prevention
Trial design:
Parallel Assignment
Masking:
Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Allocation:
Randomized
Primary outcomes:
Anti-CS antibody titers.
Timeframe: One month post Dose 3.
Secondary outcomes:
Occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of solicited local and general symptoms.
Timeframe: During the 7-day follow-up period following vaccination after each vaccine dose.
Occurrence, intensity and relationship to vaccination of unsolicited symptoms.
Timeframe: During the 30-day follow-up period following vaccination after each vaccine dose.
Occurrence of serious adverse events.
Timeframe: Up until 1 month post dose 3.
Antibody responses to the P. falciparum circumsporozoite (CS) antigen.
Timeframe: At Day 0, prior to dose 2, prior to dose 3 and 1 month post-dose 3.
Antibody responses to HBs antigen.
Timeframe: At Day 0, prior to dose 2, prior to dose 3 and 1 month post-dose 3
Frequency of CS and Hepatitis B surface agent (HBs)-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing Th1 specific activation markers and cytokines.
Timeframe: At Day 0, prior to dose 2, prior to dose 3 and 1 month post-dose 3
