Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Placental Malaria Vaccine Candidate (PRIMVAC ) in Healthy Adults

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Malaria
Interventions
Biological: PRIMVAC
Biological: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02658253
Lead Sponsor
Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of 3 different dosages (20µg - 50µg and 100µg) of a placental malaria vaccine candidate (PRIMVAC vaccine) adjuvanted either with Alhydrogel® or GLA-SE, and administered at D0, D28 and D56 in healthy European and Burkinabe adults.

The safety and the tolerability of the vaccine will be assessed on the rate of solicited and unsolicited events/reactions The safety profile will included 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

Detailed Description

The project aims are:

* Primary objective is to evaluate the safety of 3 different dosages (20µg - 50µg and 100µg) of the PRIMVAC vaccine adjuvanted either with Alhydrogel® or GLA-SE, and administered at D0, D28 and D56 in healthy European and Burkinabe adults.

* Secondary objectives are to assess:

* the humoral immune response to the PRIMVAC vaccine antigen (VAR2CSA) by measuring the variation in the level of total IgG and the level of the isotypic subtypes capable of recognizing the native antigen.

* the cellular immune response by measuring:

* the number of T cell secreting IL5 and IFNg following an ex-vivo stimulation with the vaccine antigen

* the B lymphocyte phenotypes isolated from PBMC

* Exploratory objectives are:

* To explore the quality of the humoral immune response by the measure of the capability of the antibodies specific to the vaccine antigen to:

* Cross-react with different VAR2CSA variants expressed on the surface of erythrocytes infected by various strains of Plasmodium falciparum,

* Inhibit interactions between parasitized erythrocytes expressing different VAR2CSA variants and Chondroitin Sulfate A (receptor involved in placental sequestration),

* Promote opsonic phagocytosis of parasitized erythrocytes with various strains of Plasmodium falciparum expressing different VAR2CSA variants

* To explore the quality of the cellular immune response induced by the vaccine antigen by the quantitation of a large panel of cytokines in the ELISpot supernatants.
