Brief Summary:
Malaria is responsible for over 2 million deaths each year. The development of an efficient vaccine would present by far the best solution for solving this disastrous situation. Liver-Stage-Antigen-3 (LSA-3) is an antigen that is mainly exhibited by Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites and liver-stage parasites. It is characterized by its remarkable antigenicity in humans with a wide range and a variety of B and T-lymphocyte epitopes, by its extremely high immunogenicity and by an excellent protective efficacy against sporozoite challenge in animal models. Therefore, PfLSA-3-rec is a promising candidate vaccine against P. falciparum in humans The aim is to screen two different formulations of the recombinant malaria vaccine PfLSA-3-rec, one adjuvated with aluminium hydroxide and one with Montanide Isa 720, by assessing the safety and immunogenicity (phase I) profile of each formulation in humans, as well as its protective efficacy following a sporozoite challenge (phase IIa).
