About This Trial

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, controlled study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, vaccine efficacy, and functional activity of Pfs230D1-CRM197 conjugate vaccine with R21 nanoparticle vaccine formulated on Matrix-M1. Participants (9-50 years of age) will be drawn from Bancoumana, Mali and the surrounding areas.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Prevention of Malaria Transmission and Clinical Malaria and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 1,200 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.
