To Assess the Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of VLPM01 in Healthy, Malaria-Naïve Volunteers
A Phase I Dose Escalation Study With Controlled Human Malaria Infection (CHMI) to Assess the Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of VLPM01 in Healthy, Malaria-Naïve Volunteers

Descripción detallada
The study will have four (4) phases: Screening, Dose Escalation, Controlled Human Malaria Infection (CHMI) and Follow-Up. The study will be conducted at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland (WRAIR), as this institute has extensive experience in conducting clinical studies of malaria vaccines with CHMI.
A total of 36 participants will be enrolled in this study. Thirty (30) eligible participants will participate in the Dose Escalation Phase as vaccinees and 6 eligible participants will be added during the CHMI Phase to act as infectivity controls. Up to 6 additional eligible participants will serve as alternate vaccinees during the Dose Escalation Phase and up to 6 eligible participants will as act as alternate infectivity controls during the CHMI Phase. Alternates are only enrolled if a designated vaccinee is not eligible on the day of first vaccination or if a designated infectivity control is not eligible on the Day of Challenge. Withdrawn participants will not be replaced.

- History of serology-confirmed or suspected chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection;
- Previous travel to malaria endemic regions within the past three (3) months before study enrollment defined as first vaccination or day of challenge (for infectivity controls) or planned travel to malaria endemic regions during the vaccination, CHMI and follow-up period;
- Any history of receiving a malaria vaccine or chikungunya vaccine;
- Received an investigational product in the 30 days before enrollment, or planned to receive during the study period;
