Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1, individually randomized, double-blind, dose escalating study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Pfs230D1 conjugate vaccines, R21 nanoparticle vaccine, or their combination conjugate vaccines, formulated on Matrix-M in healthy African adults aged 18 to 50 years.

Detailed Description

240 healthy adults (18-50 years of age) will be enrolled from Mali, Africa in a staggered manner by increasing Pfs230D1 dosing.

Participants will be randomized by cohorts as (detailed below) to one of the study arms to receive single antigen (Pfs230D1 or R21) or combination (Pfs230D1 + R21) with 50 μg of Matrix-M, all administered as an IM injection on a 1, 29, 57-day schedule. Participants will be followed for safety for 6 months post last dose with continued assessment for clinical malaria cases and immunogenicity up until 12 months post last dose.

* Arm 1e (n=20): 5μg of R21 in 50μg Matrix-M

* Arm 1f (n=20): 10μg of R21 in 50μg Matrix-M

Followed by Cohort 2 (n=80); 1:1:1:1
