About this study

Official title: Ph-1 Double-Blind Randomized Control Study-Evaluate Safety & Immunogenicity of Wanxing Bio-Pharmaceuticals AMA-1/MSP-1 Recombinant Malaria Vaccine (PfCP-2.9) Adj. w/ Montanide ISA 720 Compared to Montanide ISA 720 Alone in Adult Volunteers

Shanghai Wanxing Bio-Pharmaceuticals is currently evaluating one malaria vaccine candidate, PfCP2.9 adjuvanted with Montanide ISA 720. This trial is designed to test the safety and immunogenicity of 3 doses and 2 vaccination schedules.

This blood stage candidate malaria vaccine is being developed for the routine immunization of infants and children living in malaria-endemic areas.

Read the detailed description

This is a double blind, randomized, controlled Phase I study of PfCp2.9, an experimental malaria vaccine candidate, adjuvanted with Montanide ISA 720.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of the vaccine in healthy Chinese adult volunteers.

Being tested
Plasmodium falciparum Chimeric Prot. 2.9 - Montanide ISA 720

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Plasmodium falciparum Chimeric Prot. 2.9 - Montanide ISA 720Biological

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the safety and reactogenicity of the PfCP-2.9 /Montanide ISA 720 vaccine in healthy adult volunteers.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To assess the immunogenicity of the PfCP-2.9/Montanide ISA 720 vaccine in healthy adult volunteers by evaluating and comparing antigen-specific antibody responses (anti-PfCP-2.9 ELISA) after each vaccination.

  2. For exploratory analysis:

  3. To assess in vitro inhibition of parasite growth by vaccine-induced antibodies as measured by the GIA

  4. To assess the relationship between antibody levels as measured by ELISA with the corresponding degree of in vitro parasite growth inhibition as measured by GIA

  5. To assess antigen-specific antibody responses by IFA after each vaccination

  6. To assess the relationship between antibody levels as measured by ELISA with IFA titers that recognize the conformational antigens of the parasite.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Plasmodium falciparum Chimeric Prot. 2.9 - Montanide ISA 720 in people with Prophylaxis Against Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria, run by Shanghai Wanxing Bio-Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the safety and reactogenicity of the PfCP-2.9 /Montanide ISA 720 vaccine in healthy adult volunteers.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2015.
