Brief Summary
This is a clinical trial in which healthy volunteers will be administered an experimental malaria vaccine, R21. The R21 vaccine will be administered with the adjuvant AS01B. All vaccinations will be administered intramuscularly. Each volunteer will receive three vaccinations in total. There are two different vaccine schedules: Group 1 will receive R21 10µg with AS01B on days 0, 28, and 56. Group 2 will receive R21 50µg with AS01B on days 0, 28, and 56. The study will assess the safety of the vaccine, and the immune responses to the vaccination. Immune responses are measured by tests on blood samples. Healthy adult volunteers will be recruited in Oxford and Southampton, England.

You may not qualify if:
- The volunteer may not enter the study if any of the following apply:
- Participation in another research study involving receipt of an investigational product in the 30 days preceding enrolment, or planned use during the study period
- Prior receipt of an investigational malaria vaccine likely to impact on interpretation of the trial data.
- Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the planned administration of the vaccine candidate
- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, including HIV infection; asplenia; recurrent, severe infections and chronic (more than 14 days) immunosuppressant medication within the past 6 months (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed)
- History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine
- Any history of anaphylaxis in relation to vaccination
- Pregnancy, lactation or willingness/intention to become pregnant during the study
- History of cancer (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin and cervical carcinoma in situ)
