About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Dose Escalation, Open-Label Clinical Trial With Experimental Controlled Human Malaria Infections (CHMI) to Evaluate Safety and Protective Efficacy of an Anti-Malaria Human Monoclonal Antibody, VRC-MALMAB0100-00-AB (CIS43LS), in Healthy, Malaria-Naive Adults

Background:

People get malaria when they are bitten by an infected mosquito. Malaria can be serious and sometimes deadly. Although there are medicines to treat malaria, there is no vaccine that fully prevents infection. Researchers want to test if an experimental drug can help.

Objective:

To test the safety and effectiveness of a drug called CIS43LS that could prevent malaria infection.

Eligibility:

Healthy people ages 18-50 who have never been infected with malaria

Design:

Participants were enrolled on the basis of eligibility criteria, evaluated by clinical laboratory tests, self-reported medical history, and physical examination.

Participants received CIS43LS either infused into a vein in their arm or injected into the fat under the skin. They were monitored for side effects for up to 4 hours after they received the drug. Participants received a thermometer and recorded their temperature and symptoms every day on/with/via a diary card for 7 days after administration. The administration site was checked for redness, swelling, itching or bruising.

Participants had up to 12 follow-up visits. At follow-up visits, participants had blood drawn and were checked for health changes or problems.

Most participants who received CIS43LS took part in a Controlled Human Malaria Infection Challenge (CHMI) along with control participants who did not receive CIS43LS. During the CHMI, mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite bit participants in a controlled setting. The participants had clinic visits every day for up to 12 days starting 7 days after the CHMI. Participants were treated right away with antimalarial medication if they tested positive for malaria. Approximately 21 days after the CHMI, participants were treated with antimalarial medication for 3 days.

The study lasted 2-6 months depending on the participant's study group.

Read the detailed description

This was a multicenter, three-part, first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the dose, safety, tolerability and protective efficacy of an anti-malaria human monoclonal antibody, VRC-MALMAB0100-00-AB (CIS43LS). The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CIS43LS when administered by either intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) routes. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of CIS43LS at each dose level, determine if IV or SC administration will confer protection following a controlled human malaria infection (CHMI), and estimate the lowest protective dose of CIS43LS.

Part A: Part A evaluated the doses and routes in an open-label, dose escalation design.

Part B: Part B evaluated CIS43LS doses and routes prior to CHMI in participants previously enrolled in Part A and new Part B enrollees. A subgroup of participants from Part A continued to Part B, and some received a second CIS43LS dose intravenously. Additional participants were enrolled in Part B and received CIS43LS intravenously.

Part C: Part C evaluated CIS43LS doses and routes needed to reach a threshold of protection by assessing serum concentration prior to CHMI in a dose down design.

Study Product:

CIS43LS is a human immunoglobulin gamma-1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody that was developed and manufactured by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Vaccine Research Center (VRC). A recombinant Chinese hamster ovary DG44 clonal cell line14 developed by the Vaccine Production Program was transferred to the VRC pilot plant for clinical material manufacture. The study product was manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice at the VRC pilot plant operated by the Vaccine Clinical Materials Program, Leidos Biomedical Research (Frederick, MD, USA).

VRC-MALMAB0100-00-AB (CIS43LS) is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes a unique and conserved region of the Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) circumsporozoite protein and incorporates an LS mutation to increase product half-life in plasma.

Participants:

A total of 71 participants enrolled in the study as follows:

Part A: 29 participants enrolled in Groups 1-5

Part B: 21* participants enrolled in Groups 6-10

*Out of the 21 Part B participants, 11 were newly enrolled and 10 were Part A participants who re-enrolled.

Of the 10 Part A participants who re-enrolled in Part B, 3 were back up participants who did not receive additional CIS43LS or CHMI and were terminated early because they were not needed.

Therefore, only 18 participants were actively enrolled in Part B: 11 newly enrolled and 7 Part A participants who re-enrolled.

Part C: 31 participants enrolled in Groups 11-16

Of the 71 participants enrolled, 47 participants received at least one dose of CIS43LS and 43 participants completed the CHMI.

Of the 47 participants who received CIS43LS, 4 participants who received a dose in Part A were also enrolled in Part B and received a second dose as follows:

  • one participant received a 5 mg/kg IV dose in Part A and 20 mg/kg IV dose in Part B,
  • one participant received a 5 mg/kg SC dose in Part A and 20 mg/kg IV dose in Part B, and
  • two participants received a 20 mg/kg IV dose in Part A and Part B.

Therefore, a total of 51 doses of CIS43LS were administered to 47 participants as follows:

  • 7 doses of 1 mg/kg IV
  • 8 doses of 5 mg/kg SC
  • 8 doses of 5 mg/kg IV
  • 3 doses of 10 mg/kg IV
  • 4 doses of 10 mg/kg SC
  • 9 doses of 20 mg/kg IV and
  • 12 doses of 40 mg/kg IV

Study Duration:

Participants who received CIS43LS were followed for up to 24 weeks after product administration. Control participants were followed through 7 weeks after CHMI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Local Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms Within 7 Days of CIS43LS Product Administration

    Participants recorded the occurrence of solicited symptoms on a diary card for 7 days after study product administration and reviewed the diary card with clinic staff at a follow up visit. Participants were counted once for each symptom at the worst severity if they indicated experiencing the symptom more than one time at any severity during the reporting period. The number reported for "Any Local Symptom" is the number of participants reporting any local symptom at the worst severity. Reactogenicity grading (Mild, Moderate, Severe) was done using the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Corrected Version 2.1.

    Measured: 7 days after CIS43LS product administration, at approximately Week 1

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Systemic Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms Within 7 Days of CIS43LS Product Administration

    Participants recorded the occurrence of solicited symptoms on a diary card for 7 days after study product administration and reviewed the diary card with clinic staff at a follow up visit. Participants were counted once for each symptom at the worst severity if they indicated experiencing the symptom more than one time at any severity during the reporting period. The number reported for "Any Systemic Symptom" is the number of participants reporting any systemic symptom at the worst severity. Reactogenicity grading (Mild, Moderate, Severe) was done using the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Corrected Version 2.1.

    Measured: 7 days after CIS43LS product administration, at approximately Week 1

  3. Number of Participants With One or More Unsolicited Non-Serious Adverse Events (AEs) Following CIS43LS Product Administration

    Unsolicited adverse event (AE) data collection included AEs of all severities from the date of product administration through the Day 28 post-product administration visit. At other time periods between study product administration and when greater than 4 weeks after the study product administration, only serious AEs (SAEs reported as a separate outcome and in the AE module) and new chronic medical conditions that required ongoing medical management (reported as a separate outcome) were recorded through the last study visit. The relationship between an AE and the study product was assessed by the investigator based on clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol. A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.

    Measured: Day 0 through 4 weeks after CIS43LS product administration

  4. Number of Participants With One or More Unsolicited Non-Serious Adverse Events (AEs) Following Controlled Human Malaria Infection (CHMI)

    Unsolicited adverse event (AE) data collection included AEs of all severities from CHMI through the Day 28 post-CHMI visit. The relationship between an AE and CHMI was assessed by the investigator based on clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol. A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.

    Measured: Day 0 through 4 weeks after CHMI

  5. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Following CIS43LS Product Administration

    SAEs were recorded from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit at Week 24. The relationship between a SAE and the study product was assessed by the investigator based on clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol. A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.

    Measured: Day 0 after CIS43LS product administration through the study participation, up to Week 24

  6. Number of Participants With New Chronic Medical Conditions Following CIS43LS Product Administration

    New chronic medical conditions that required ongoing medical management were recorded from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit at Week 24. The relationship between a new chronic medical condition and the study product was assessed by the investigator based on clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol. A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.

    Measured: Day 0 after CIS43LS product administration through the study participation, up to Week 24

  7. Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Measures of Safety Following CIS43LS Product Administration

    Abnormal laboratory results recorded as unsolicited adverse events (AEs) are summarized. Safety lab parameters included hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) platelets, and white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil and basophil counts) and chemistry (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and creatinine). Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential and Chemistry (ALT and creatinine) results were collected at different timepoints in Parts A, B and C throughout the study per the protocol's schedule of evaluations. Institutional laboratory normal ranges as well as the DAIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Corrected Version 2.1 were used.

    Measured: Day 0 through 4 weeks after CIS43LS product administration

    Measured: Baseline through 24 weeks after CIS43LS product administration

  5. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters of CIS43LS: Beta Half-life (T1/2b) - (Part A and Part B)

    Beta half-life (T1/2b) is being reported for this study. Beta half-life (T1/2b) is the time required for half of the CIS43LS product to be eliminated from the serum. A two-compartmental population pharmacokinetic model with first order SC absorption was used to estimate overall beta half-life and bootstrap 90% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Measured: Baseline through 24 weeks after CIS43LS product administration

  6. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters of CIS43LS: Beta Half-life (T1/2b) - (Part C)

    Beta half-life (T1/2b) is the time required for half of the CIS43LS product to be eliminated from the serum. A two-compartmental population pharmacokinetic model with first order SC absorption was used to estimate overall beta half-life and bootstrap 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Measured: Baseline through 24 weeks after CIS43LS product administration

  7. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters of CIS43LS: Clearance Rate - (Part A and Part B)

    Rate of CIS43LS elimination divided by the plasma CIS43LS concentration; determined based on the summary pharmacokinetic (PK) curve for each study group. A two-compartmental population pharmacokinetic model with first order SC absorption was used to estimate overall clearance and bootstrap 90% confidence intervals (CIs).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VRC-MALMAB0100-00-AB and Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) sporozoite challenge in people with Malaria, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 2 sites 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 29 inclusion and 17 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 18 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Apr 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Reporting Local Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms Within 7 Days of CIS43LS Product Administration (time frame: 7 days after CIS43LS product administration, at approximately Week 1). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04206332, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 18 Apr 2023.
