NCT01373879

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of MVA ME-TRAP and AdCH63 ME-TRAP candidate vaccines in healthy children and adult volunteers in a malaria endemic region. The regimen proposed here has protected non-immune volunteers in Oxford against sporozoite challenge, and so may be protective against naturally acquired infection in The Gambia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Safety of a heterologous prime-boost vaccine strategy with AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP

    To assess the safety of a heterologous prime-boost vaccine strategy with AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP in healthy adults and children in The Gambia by recording local and systemic solicited and unsolicited adverse events

    Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Immunogenicity of a heterologous prime-boost vaccine strategy with AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP

    Participants will be followed for the duration of the study, an expected average of 12 months

Eligibility Criteria

Age2 Years - 50 Years
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Consenting adult males aged 18-50 years in good health and healthy children aged 2-6 years.with consenting parents.

You may not qualify if:

  • Clinically significant history of skin disorder (psoriasis, contact dermatitis etc.), allergy, symptomatic immunodeficiency, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, endocrine disorder, liver disease, renal disease, gastrointestinal disease, neurological illness.
  • Severe malnutrition.
  • Hypersensitivity to HDCRV.
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines, e.g. egg products, Kathon, neomycin, betapropiolactone.
  • History of splenectomy Haemoglobin less than 9.0 g/dL, where judged to be clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator
  • Serum Creatinine concentration greater than 70 mol/L, where judged to be clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator
  • Serum ALT concentration greater than 45 U/L, where judged to be clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator
  • Blood transfusion within one month of enrolment.
  • History of vaccination with previous experimental malaria vaccines.
  • Administration of any other vaccine or immunoglobulin within two weeks before vaccination.
  • Current participation in another clinical trial, or within 12 weeks of this study.
  • Any other finding which in the opinion of the investigators would increase the risk of an adverse outcome from participation in the trial.
  • Likelihood of travel away from the study area.
  • HIV positive.
  • Positive malaria antigen test
