The study is designed to establish the best dose to safely infect healthy individuals with Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (PfSPZ) via intravenous (IV) injection.
Trial of monthly DHA-piperaquine for malaria prevention in health volunteers.
This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of four new candidate malaria vaccines; ChAd63 CS, ChAd63 ME-TRAP, MVA CS & MVA ME-TRAP. These vaccines consist of viruses (ChAd63 and MVA) which have been genetically modified so (i) they cannot replicate in humans and (ii) they include parts of the malaria parasite; Plasmodium falciparum (CS and ME-TRAP). The hope is that these vaccines will induce immune responses in vaccinees that are able to prevent malaria. This proposed study will compare how effective ChAd63-MVA CS is at preventing malaria infection in UK volunteers following malaria challenge compared to ChAd63-MVA ME-TRAP. The study will be conducted at the University of Oxford's Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine (CCVTM), Oxford, UK and the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility in Southampton, UK. The malaria challenge will take place at the insectary at Imperial College (Infection and Immunity Section) in London, UK.
The purpose of the study is to obtain efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data following treatment with artemether-lumefantrine dispersible tablet in infants < 5 kg of body weight (BW) with uncomplicated falciparum malaria.
OZ439 is a novel, synthetic trioxolane medicine which is related to artemisinin, but has the advantage of a longer elimination half-life so is being developed to be administered together with a potential partner drug e.g. mefloquine as a single dose cure for uncomplicated malaria. The study findings will be used to inform the dose and design of future studies. The aim of the study is to establish the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of co-administered OZ439 and MQ at a range of doses up to the maximum tolerated dose, in healthy volunteers.
This is an initial efficacy study of a candidate antimalarial in human subjects with uncomplicated malaria caused by the most common and most important parasite in Africa (Plasmodium falciparum). This study will enroll 66 adult Malian males with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria and randomize them to treatment with 1750 mg of the investigational drug (AQ-13) by mouth over 3 days or the current standard treatment, which is 2 doses of Coartem twice daily for 3 days. The hypothesis underlying this study is that AQ-13 will be similarly effective to Coartem for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria due to both chloroquine-susceptible and chloroquine-resistant parasites.

This study intends to test the hypothesis that the malaria antigen PfPEBS, manufactured as a synthetic protein and adjuvanted with aluminium hydroxide will be well-tolerated and immunogenic (Phase 1), functionally active against the erythrocytic stages (Phase 1) and efficacious (Phase 2) against the pre-erythrocytic stages in protecting against an artificial malaria challenge using Pf sporozoites in a healthy adult population.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and impact of ivermectin, administered as single or repeated dose, in combination with artemether-lumefantrine in reducing the proportion of mosquitoes that survive and become infected after feeding on a blood meal from a malaria-infected individual.
The primary trial objective is to determine the clinically effective dose of orally administered pyronaridine/artesunate (Pyramax®, PA) with a 3:1 ratio to treat adults with acute, symptomatic, uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria in South East Asia and Africa. Secondary trial objectives are to determine the safety of once-daily dosing for 3 days of PA and to explore possible ethnic differences in safety or efficacy.
