MAVACHE is a sequential dose and schedule optimization trial of intravenous immunization with
PfSPZ Vaccine in 18 to 54 malaria-naïve, healthy adult volunteers receiving 9x10^5,
1.35x10^6, or 2.7x10^6 PfSPZ per dose and a total dose between 2.7x10^6 and 8.1x10^6 PfSPZ
followed by CHMI with 3,200 fully infectious PfSPZ (PfSPZ Challenge).
PfSPZ Challenge (7G8) to assess vaccine efficacy, safety, tolerability and infectivity of
ascending PfSPZ doses will be assessed in healthy, malaria-naïve volunteers.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Number or occurrence of at least possibly related Grade 3 AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) for PfSPZ Vaccine | Number or occurrence of at least possibly related Grade 3 AEs and SAEs from time of first administration of PfSPZ Vaccine to the end of the follow-up period. | Around 14 months (from day of first immunization through study completion) | |
Primary | PfSPZ Challenge (7G8) dose finding - Number or occurrence of at least possibly related Grade 3 AEs and SAEs | Number or occurrence of at least possibly related Grade 3 AEs and SAEs from time of first administration of PfSPZ Challenge (7G8) to the end of the follow-up period. | Around 140 days (from day of first PfSPZ Challenge (7G8) CHMI through end of follow-up) | |
Secondary | Number of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) for PfSPZ Vaccine | Number of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) from time of first administration of PfSPZ Vaccine to first administration of PfSPZ Challenge for CHMI consistent with a causal relationship. | About 7 weeks (from day of first vaccination until 3 weeks after last vaccination) | |
Secondary | Proportion of volunteers who become parasitemic will be recorded, detected by thick blood film microscopy or qPCR | Thick blood film microscopy and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays will be performed during CHMI follow-up. The proportion of volunteers who become parasitemic will be recorded, detected by thick blood film microscopy or qPCR, within 28 days following CHMI with 3,200 PfSPZ, given either as a single dose of 3,200 PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) (optimization phase) or as two subsequent injections of 3,200 PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) and PfSPZ Challenge (7G8), respectively in the verification phase. | Up to 4 weeks (from day of CHMI until 28 days) | |
Secondary | Proportion of volunteers who do not become parasitemic (protected) against homologous (NF54) and heterologous (7G8) CHMI, respectively. | This endpoint can only be assessed during the verification phase of the trial. | About 28 days (from day of first CHMI till 28 days) |
