NCT01231503

Brief Summary

The aim of the malaria vaccine program of the MVI/GSK partnership is to develop an efficacious malaria vaccine that is deliverable through the existing system, the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) of WHO. This study has been designed to:

  • Investigate the safety and immunogenicity of 7 infant immunization schedules of the experimental malaria vaccine integrated with an EPI regimen.
  • Investigate how to maximize the antibody response to the experimental malaria vaccine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Number of Subjects Reported With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or may evolve into one of the outcomes listed above. "Any" is defined an incidence of a SAE regardless of intensity/severity.

    From study start at Month 0 up to Month 10.

  • Concentrations of Antibodies Against Circumsporozoite Protein of Plasmodium Falciparum (Anti-CS Antibodies)

    Anti-CS antibody concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) expressed in ELISA units per milliliter (EL.U/mL). The seropositivity cut-off for the endpoint was a GMC value greater than or equal to (≥) 0.5 EL.U/mL.

    At 1 month (M) post Dose 3 of RTS,S/AS01E, e. a. M5 for RTS,S Neo-10-14, RTS,S 6-10-14 and Engerix-B Neo groups

  • Concentrations of Antibodies Against Circumsporozoite Protein of Plasmodium Falciparum (Anti-CS Antibodies)

    Anti-CS antibody concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) expressed in ELISA units per milliliter (EL.U/mL). The seropositivity cut-off for the endpoint was a GMC value greater than or equal to (≥) 0.5 EL.U/mL.

    At 1 month (M) post Dose 3 of RTS,S/AS01E, e. a. M7 for RTS,S Neo-10-26, RTS,S 6-10-26, Engerix-B Neo/RTS,S 6-10-26, and RTS,S 10-14-26 groups

  • Concentrations of Antibodies Against Circumsporozoite Protein of Plasmodium Falciparum (Anti-CS Antibodies)

  • Subjects who the investigator believes that their parents/guardians can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g. return for follow-up visits) should be enrolled in the study.
  • Born to a mother negative for HIV antibody and Hepatitis B surface antigen.
  • Subjects who are born after a normal gestation period (between 37 and 42 weeks) (Gestational age will be determined by carrying out a clinical assessment on infants according to the principles set out by Dubowitz (1970) in the first 5 days of life).
  • A minimum weight of 2.5 kg.

You may not qualify if:

  • The following criteria should be checked at the time of study entry. If any apply, the subject must not be included in the study:
  • Acute or chronic illness determined by clinical or physical examination and laboratory screening tests including, but not limited to:
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination.
  • A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  • Major congenital defects.
  • History of any neurological disorders or seizures.
  • Laboratory screening tests out of normal ranges/limits defined per protocol.
  • Previous vaccination with diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whole-cell or acellular), Hemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis B, BCG tuberculosis, measles or oral polio vaccines.
  • Planned administration/administration of a licensed vaccine (i.e. a vaccine that is approved by one of the following authorities: FDA or EU member state or WHO \[with respect to prequalification\]) not foreseen by the study protocol within 7 days of the first dose of study vaccine.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins, blood transfusions or other blood products since birth to the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period.
  • Use of a drug or vaccine that is not approved for that indication (by one of the following authorities: FDA or EU member state or WHO \[with respect to prequalification\]) other than the study vaccine starting at birth or planned use during the study period.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs since birth.
  • Simultaneous participation in any other clinical trial.
  • Same-sex twins (to avoid misidentification).
  • Maternal death.
