Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of a Candidate Malaria Vaccine in Tanzanian Infants (NCT NCT00289185)

NCT ID: NCT00289185

Last Updated: 2020-10-29

Results Overview

Concentrations were expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in milli-international unit per milliliter (mIU/mL). The cut-off of the assay was the seroprotection cut-off of 10 mIU/mL. Month 3 results are the specific results for this primary outcome measure.

Antibodies were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Concentrations are expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in ELISA unit per milliliter (EL.U/mL). The cut-off of the assay was the seropositivity cut-off value of 0.5 EL.U/mL.

Malaria infection by Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) was detected by active detection of infection (ADI) and passive case detection (PCD), and was defined as the presence of P. falciparum asexual parasitemia above 0 per microliter (µL) on Giemsa stained thick blood films. The time to first malaria infection is expressed in terms of rate of first malaria infection, that is, the number of malaria infection events reported (n) over the period elapsed until the event occurred (i.e. events per Persons Year at Risk \[PYAR\]) for each group.
