Healthy Women of Child Bearing Potential Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase II Randomised, Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of the R21/Matrix-M1 Malaria Vaccine in Healthy African Women of Childbearing Potential in Mali
This will be a double-blind, individually randomised trial, to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy of two and three doses of the R21/Matrix-M1 malaria vaccine or placebo given at 4 week intervals in healthy women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), who are on pregnancy prevention during vaccination, but report plans to become pregnant in the near future. Participants will be randomised in Year 1 into three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: - Arm 1 (n=110): will receive three doses of R21/Matrix-M1 malaria vaccine at months 0, 1 and 2. - Arm 2 (n=110): will receive normal saline (placebo) at month 0 and two doses of R21/Matrix-M1 malaria vaccine at months 1 and 2. - Arm 3 (n=110): will receive three of doses normal saline (placebo) at months 0, 1 and 2. In Year 2: Non-pregnant participants in arms 1 and 2 will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive a booster dose of R21/Matrix-M1 malaria vaccine or placebo at the beginning of the malaria transmission season. Participants in the control group (arm 3) will receive normal saline (placebo). Initial follow-up will be for two years after dose three, with an efficacy analysis at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after dose 3. Participants will be monitored for safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and malaria infection during the follow-up period. Participants will also be monitored for pregnancy over 12 months post primary and booster vaccination and those who become pregnant will be followed during their pregnancy and for 1 year post-delivery (as well as their offspring) for safety and malaria infection
The design will be a double blind, placebo-controlled study. Malian adult WOCBP between 18 and 35 years of age who consent to participate will be randomised to receive R21/Matrix-M1vaccine or normal saline to assess the safety, immunogenicity and protective efficacy of R21/Matrix-M1 Vaccine. Randomisation and Study Arms Consenting participants who have satisfied all the eligibility criteria and completed the baseline assessment will be individually randomised within the study groups using an electronic randomisation system into three arms in a 1:1:1 ratio. - Arm 1: Participants will receive three doses of R21/Matrix-M1 malaria vaccine at months 0, 1 and 2. - Arm 2: will receive normal saline (placebo) at month 0 and two doses of R21/Matrix-M1 malaria vaccine at month 1 and 2. - Arm 3: will receive three doses of normal saline (placebo) at months 0, 1 and 2. Participants will be assessed for safety, immunogenicity and efficacy for 12 months. After 12 months non-pregnant participants in arms 1 and 2, will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio; half in each of these two arms will receive a booster dose of R21/Matrix-M1 vaccine and half will receive a placebo injection (normal saline) and be followed up for an additional 12 months. All injections will be administered intramuscularly in the deltoid region, preferably of the non-dominant arm. Post third injection, participants will be followed through the malaria transmission (rainy) season, approximately 6 months, and then the ensuing dry season for an additional 6 months. Participants will be monitored for safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy (malaria infection) during the follow-up period. For any women who become pregnant during the two-year period (first year and second year) of the trial, follow up will continue through the end of pregnancy, and any viable newborns/infants and their mothers will be followed through the first year of life. ;
