Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Infection Rate

    The infection rate is the number (percentage) of subjects in a cohort who became positive for parasitemia. Complete protection = Subjects with pre-patent period equal to 28 days.

    Day 0 to Day 28 post-inoculum (daily)

  • Pre-patent Period

    The pre-patent period is defined as the time (days) from inoculation with PfSPZ to first occurrence of a positive TBS. If no positive TBS is seen by Day 28, this variable is set to 28 days. Complete protection = Subjects showing with pre-patent period equal to 28 days.

    Day 0 to Day 28 post-inoculum (daily)

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety & Tolerability of DSM265

    From first dose (Day -1 in Cohort 1A and Day -7 in Cohort 2) to Day 60 post-inoculum

  • Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) as a Measure of Safety & Tolerability of Malarone

    From first dose (Day -1, Cohort 1b) to Day 60 post-inoculum

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of Plasmodium Falciparum Sporozoite Challenge Inoculum

    Day 0 to Day 60 post-inoculum

  • DSM265 Pharmacokinetics Profile - T Max

    From pre-dose of DSM265 (Day -1 in Cohort 1a and Day -7 in Cohort 2) to Day 28 post-inoculum

  • DSM265 Pharmacokinetics Profile - T 1/2

    From pre-dose of DSM265 (Day -1 in Cohort 1a and Day -7 in Cohort 2) to Day 28 post-inoculum

  • +9 more secondary outcomes
