We’re tracking 5 recruiting malaria studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 1 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT06607003RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a malaria infection in healthy adults
This study gives healthy adults who have never had malaria a controlled infection with the parasite that causes malaria, to see if it is safe and if mosquitoes can pick up the parasite from them. It may help develop new ways to prevent malaria.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–54 - NCT02639299Recruiting
Screening healthy adults for malaria vaccines and drug studies
This study screens healthy adults to see who can join future malaria vaccine or investigational malaria drug studies, including a controlled malaria exposure. It may help researchers test safer vaccines/drugs, but participation requires good health and strict medical eligibility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–50 - NCT05711485Recruiting
Test whole-blood transfusion plan for severe malaria in young children
This trial studies a platelet-focused strategy for giving whole blood to children under 5 with severe malaria. It aims to see whether this approach can improve care while keeping children safe.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 6 months–4.9 years - NCT03937817Recruiting
Donate samples to study globin gene variants
This study collects common body samples to learn how different globin gene variants work and how they relate to health. Your samples may also be used later for new research, including genetic testing.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT00001645Recruiting
Evaluation and treatment of parasitic infections
This study evaluates and treats patients who may have a parasitic infection (an infection caused by parasites—tiny organisms that live in or on the body). Researchers will monitor your condition and provide care to help you get better.

What taking part in a malaria study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there malaria clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting malaria studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a malaria study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a malaria trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New malaria studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
