Evaluation of the Protective Efficacy of a Vaccine Derived From the Synthetic CS Protein of Plasmodium Vivax

Objectives

This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled, which seeks to compare two groups of volunteers (naive and previously exposed to malaria) who were made 3 immunizations with a synthetic derivative of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) of Plasmodium vivax in order to determine their protective efficacy. Then volunteers will be subject to an infectious challenge to assess the infectivity of gametocytes in the blood early stage of P. vivax in Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes.

Rationale and Abstract

This study produced a prospective controlled, blinded clinical trial in 2021, designed to establish the protective efficacy induced by the vaccine PvCSP between human volunteers with and without a history of malaria. Volunteers will be recruited in Cali, Colombia, and Quibdó, Colombia.
