About this study

Official title: General Screening for Eligibility to Participate in Treatment, Prevention and Vaccine Trials at the Seattle Malaria Clinical Trials Center

The purpose of this study is to identify and screen potential subjects for preliminary eligibility to participate in a malaria related clinical trial conducted at the Seattle Malaria Clinical Trials Center (Seattle MCTC) or one of our partnering sites.

Read the detailed description

This is a continuous study enrolling approximately 350 participants per year to establish preliminary eligibility for participation in ongoing or future Seattle Malaria Clinical Trials Center (Seattle MCTC) clinical research studies. Data collected may be used to support preliminary eligibility for a current or future Seattle MCTC clinical research study.

In order to maximize efficiency of the screening process potential participants who contact the site will be pre-screened using an IRB-approved screening form.

Potential participants who contact the site may be asked to come in for an in-person screening visit. They will be given a consent form to read and sign if they should choose to participate in the screening process. If they have any questions during this process research staff will be available. This visit includes an in-depth medical history review, travel history, physical exam, blood draw, electrocardiogram test (ECG), and a urine test.

The Seattle Malaria Clinical Trials Center (Seattle MCTC) is conducting research to combat malaria. Malaria is a disease that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito and affects millions of people worldwide. Malaria can cause a wide range of medical problems, and may even result in death if the infection is not treated. Currently there are many medications, preventative measures and malaria vaccines being developed to fight malaria that will need to be tested before they can be made available to the general public. The Seattle MCTC is conducting clinical research studies for this purpose and is in need of healthy adult volunteers to take part in upcoming studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malaria, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 Sep 2020. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Participant Enrollment (time frame: Once upon enrollment). 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 Sep 2020.
