Screening healthy adults for malaria vaccines and drug studies
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 50 years old
- You must be in generally good health with no major medical problems
- You must be able to reliably travel to the study site for more than 1 year
- If you can become pregnant, you must agree to pregnancy tests and reliable birth control during the study (rules depend on the later study protocol)
- You must pass screening blood tests and basic health checks (abnormal results may disqualify you)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study uses PET/CT scans to look at how a controlled malaria infection affects different organs in the body. It is for healthy adults already taking part in a malaria vaccine or infection study at NIH.
This study looks at lab tests for malaria vaccine candidates in pregnant women who currently have malaria. It may help researchers understand which vaccine approaches are safest and most promising for pregnancy.
This study tests a new long-acting injection to prevent malaria. It checks safety and how the body handles the drug in healthy adults and adolescents in Rwanda.
This study tests two different malaria vaccines to see which is safer and works better. Participants will receive one of the vaccines and then be exposed to a safe form of the malaria parasite to check if it protects them.
This study tests an experimental malaria vaccine in healthy adults. The vaccine is given along with other medicines and a controlled exposure to mosquito bites to see how well it protects against malaria.
