NCT02014727

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of 3 doses given at D0, W4, and W26 of 50 µg dosage of AMA1-DiCo adjuvanted either with GLA-SE or Alhydrogel® in healthy European adults not previously exposed to the parasite P.falciparum and in healthy African adults exposed to the parasite. The safety and the tolerability of the vaccine will be assessed on the rate of solicited and unsolicited events/reactions. The safety profile will include local and systemic reactions/events as well as the biological safety, based on a clinically significant change of the baseline value of the main biological criteria.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Adverse events

    The safety profile will be assessed in all volunteers on the following criteria: * Immediate reactogenicity (reactions within 60 minutes after each vaccination). * Local and systemic reactogenicity measured from Day 0 to Week 2 after each vaccination. * Any unsolicited adverse event between the first vaccination and four weeks after the third vaccination. * Any SAE occurring from the inclusion throughout the trial.

    Up to four weeks after the third vaccination.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The humoral and cellular responses

    6 months after the last vaccination

Other Outcomes (1)

  • The quality of the cellular and humoral immune responses

    Up to 6 months after the last vaccination
