AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP Malaria Vaccines Evaluation in Healthy Adults and Children in a Malaria Endemic Area

March 13, 2013 updated by: University of Oxford

Safety and Immunogenicity of Heterologous Prime-boost With the Candidate Malaria Vaccines AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP in Healthy Adults and Children in a Malaria Endemic Area

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of MVA ME-TRAP and AdCH63 ME-TRAP candidate vaccines in healthy children and adult volunteers in a malaria endemic region. The regimen proposed here has protected non-immune volunteers in Oxford against sporozoite challenge, and so may be protective against naturally acquired infection in The Gambia.
