三日熱マラリア原虫攻撃剤の安全性と感染性を評価し、蚊の摂食アッセイで伝播を評価するための、マラリア未治療の健康な成人における誘発血期マラリアの第 1 相研究

• INCLUSION CRITERIA:

All of the following criteria must be fulfilled for a participant to undergo IBSM:

1. Age >=18 and <=54 years.
2. RBCs positive for Duffy antigen/chemokine receptor.
3. Malaria comprehension exam passed prior to study activities.
4. Suitable accommodation and reliable access to the NIHCC for the duration of the study in the opinion of the investigator.
5. Persons of childbearing potential must be willing to use reliable contraception from 28 days prior to challenge agent administration to the end of study.
6. Signing of the informed consent form.
7. Agreement to not live alone from challenge agent administration until the completion of antimalarial treatment.
8. Agreement to long-term storage of study samples for future research.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

A participant will be excluded from participating in this trial if any 1 of the following criteria is fulfilled:

1. Planned travel to a P. vivax-endemic area during the study period (see https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/travelers/country_table/a.html).

2. History of travel to or residence in a P. vivax malaria-endemic region for more than 2 weeks during the past 2 years.

3. Prior confirmed P. vivax malaria diagnosis or clinical history consistent with likely P. vivax infection. At the investigator's discretion, participants may be enrolled if the exposure was remote, e.g., > 5 years ago.

4. Poor peripheral venous access, at the discretion of the investigator.

5. For persons of childbearing potential:

   1. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding until the end of study.
   2. Rh blood group negative.

6. Being a current or former study team member or clinical trial staff with direct involvement of the trial, or being an employee supervised by a study team member.

7. Unwillingness to defer blood donations for at least 3 years.

8. Use of any of the following within the specified periods:

   1. Investigational P. vivax vaccine within the last 2 years.
   2. Malaria chemoprophylaxis within 3 months of Day 0.
   3. Chronic systemic immunosuppressive medications (>14 days) within 6 months (e.g., cytotoxic medications, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, or oral/parental corticosteroids equivalent to >0.5 mg/kg/day of prednisone). Corticosteroid nasal spray for allergic rhinitis and topical corticosteroids for mild, uncomplicated dermatitis are allowed.
   4. Prior receipt of packed red cells or other blood products or immunoglobulins within the previous 6 months.
   5. Systemic antibiotics or medications with potential antimalarial effects less than 28 days before Day 0 (e.g., clindamycin, chloroquine, benzodiazepines, tetracycline, azithromycin, or doxycycline).
   6. Investigational product or vaccine less than 28 days before Day 0.
   7. Receipt of any vaccination less than 28 days before Day 0.
   8. Current or planned use of medications known to significantly prolong the QT interval or otherwise interfere with study agents.
   9. Smoking more than 5 cigarettes or equivalent per day and unable to stop smoking for the duration of admission. Participants may smoke up to 5 cigarettes or equivalent per day for the rest of the study (by attestation).
   10. History of alcohol use disorder (exceptions may be made at the investigator's discretion if they have completed treatment or are otherwise currently abstinent) or refusal to agree to refrain from drinking from the day of the challenge agent inoculation until completion of their antimalarial course.

9. Clinically significant medical condition, physical examination findings, other clinically significant abnormal laboratory results, or past medical history including:

   1. Immunodeficiency including asplenia or functional asplenia or significant autoimmune disease.
   2. Retinal disease, visual field changes, psoriasis, porphyria, or known allergy to chloroquine or artemether/lumefantrine.
   3. Cardiac disease including >10% cardiovascular risk as determined by the non-laboratory method or an abnormal EKG demonstrating a corrected QT interval by Fridericia's formula of >450 msec or other concerning arrhythmia.
   4. Any other medical condition that may have significant implications for current health status and participation in the study, in the opinion of the investigator.

10. History of a severe reaction to arthropod bites, or history of anaphylaxis or severe unexpected allergy to any substance.

11. Screening blood test or urinalysis laboratory parameters outside of local lab normal range (including infectious serologies). Participants may be included at the investigator's discretion for "not clinically significant" values outside of normal range.

12. Any other finding that, in the judgment of the investigator, would interfere with, or serve as a contraindication to, protocol adherence, assessment of safety or reactogenicity, or a participant's ability to give informed consent, or increase the risk of having an adverse outcome from participating in the study.

Participants who are determined ineligible to participate for any of the reasons above may be rescreened for eligibility at a later time when the disqualifying condition may be resolved.
