研究概览
简要总结
This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled, which seeks to compare two groups of volunteers (naive and previously exposed to malaria) vaccinated with three doses of a synthetic derivative of the CS protein of Plasmodium vivax to determine their protective efficacy.
Then volunteers will be subject to an infectious challenge (Controlled Human Malaria Infection) to assess the infectivity of gametocytes in the blood early stage of P. vivax in Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes.
详细描述
This study is a prospective controlled, blinded clinical trial, designed to establish the protective efficacy induced by the vaccine PvCSP between human volunteers with and without history of malaria. Volunteers will be recruited in Cali, Colombia and Quibdó, Colombia.
Study subjects: This study will require the involvement of two types of volunteers, parasite donors and volunteers for immunization
Parasite donors: 5-15 P. vivax-infected patients who will serve as parasites donors for experimental infection of mosquitoes, who will be enrolled in the endemic area.
Volunteers for immunization: Two other groups of volunteers will be immunized with the PvCSP vaccine. A group of 60 people without previous exposure to malaria (naïve) and another 60 people with a history of previous malaria infection (pre-immune).
Methodology Recruitment of infected patients: Parasite donors will be recruited among P. vivax infected patients attending a diagnostic center in the endemic area.
