Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Mali faces a significant challenge with malaria, particularly among its younger population. While existing measures like seasonal chemoprevention and vaccination have shown efficacy, further innovations are necessary to combat this disease. The monoclonal antibody TB31F shows promise in reducing the transmission of malaria. This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal antibody TB31F.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

We will perform two sequential stages of clinical research, each recruiting a distinct cohort of participants to confirm: 1. TB31F safety and 2. TB31F efficacy. The safety cohort will be composed of the three dose groups in adults (groups 1, 2 and 3) and two dose groups in children (groups 4 and 5). The efficacy cohort will be composed of two dose groups in adults and children (group 6). Participants will be randomised within each treatment group to receive a single sub-cutaneous dose of TB31F or placebo.

Blinding Strategy

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
This is a double-blind randomised controlled trial. The treating physician and staff involved with assessing all laboratory outcomes of the study are blinded. The study pharmacist will be unblinded and responsible for randomisation and treatment preparation. Entomology staff involved in the mosquito feeding assays will be blinded for the parasitology results.
