Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a single site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The trial will assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and vaccine efficacy (VE) of PfSPZ Vaccine in Gabonese children that are naturally exposed to malaria parasites. Healthy children aged 1- 12 years living in the surrounding areas of Lambaréné and/or Fougamou Province in Gabon will be eligible for participation.


Clinical Trial Description

The trial will be performed in 200 healthy Gabonese children, recruited across three age-strata: 7-12, 3-6 and 1-2 years (12-35 months). Within each age-stratum, volunteers will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive three doses via direct venous inoculation (DVI) of either PfSPZ Vaccine (0.9x10^6) or normal saline (NS) on days 0, 7 and 28 respectively; a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 100 volunteers are included in each of these age-strata. In total, approximately 133 children will receive PfSPZ Vaccine and approximately 67 children will receive placebo. Randomization will be stratified by age-stratum, using permuted blocks of randomized size (3, 6, or 9). The start of inclusion into each age-stratum will be staggered, such that immunization of the first 3-6-year-olds will not commence until two weeks after start of immunization in the first 7-12-year-olds, and immunizations in the first 1-2-year-olds will not commence until two weeks after start of immunization in the first 3-6-year-olds. All volunteers will receive presumptive treatment with artemether-lumefantrine two weeks prior to final immunization (day 14). All volunteers will receive presumptive treatment with age-standardized 3-day course of oral artemether-lumefantrine (AL) ~two weeks prior to first immunization and again two weeks prior to final immunization. ;
