Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Plasmodium Falciparum Transmission-reducing Activity of Monoclonal Antibody TB31F in Mali

Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Malaria,Falciparum
Interventions
Other: Normal saline
Registration Number
NCT06413108
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Mali faces a significant challenge with malaria, particularly among its younger population. While existing measures like seasonal chemoprevention and vaccination have shown efficacy, further innovations are necessary to combat this disease. The monoclonal antibody TB31F shows promise in reducing the transmission of malaria. This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal antibody TB31F.
