Phase 1 and Phase 2a Clinical Trial:Immunization of Human Volunteers With P. Vivax Irradiated Sporozoites
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Immunization with P. vivax irradiated sporozoites for Malaria. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It is possible to safely protect human volunteers immunized with P. vivax irradiated sporozoites from P. vivax challenge with live sporozoites.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes will be infected by artificial membrane feeding using blood from P. vivax infected donors. Once mosquitoes are positive will be irradiated at 15000 cGy and kept in boxes until use. 14 Fy(+) human volunteers in the experimental group will be immunized with 1,000-2,000 P. vivax irrad-spz bites. Seven Fy(+) volunteers in the control group will be exposed to non-infected mosquito bites. Six Fy(-) volunteers will be exposed to infective mosquito bites. For the challenge both the immunized and control groups will be exposed to 3 ± 1 infective mosquito bites. Volunteers will be closely monitored post infection and will be treated with antimalarials.
