Summary
Background:
Researchers are trying to develop a vaccine that will safely reduce the spread of malaria in the community by preventing mosquitos from carrying malaria from person to person.
Objective:
To assess in African adults the safety of and immune response to the administration of Pfs230D1-EPA/Matrix-M vaccine as compared to the rabies vaccine control.
Eligibility:
Healthy adults (18 to 50 years of age) who reside in Sotuba and surrounding villages in Mali
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
* Medical history
* Physical exam
* Blood, urine, and heart tests
* Malaria comprehension exam
Participants will be randomly assigned to get either the experimental vaccine or the approved rabies vaccine. They will not know which they are getting.
Participants will get 3 doses of the study or comparator vaccine via injection in the upper arm. This occurs at the first visit, 1 month, and 2 months later.
Participants will have up to 23 scheduled visits over 14 to 16 months. Each visit includes a physical exam, and blood will be collected at most visits.
Participants will be followed up to 1 year after the final vaccination.
If participants develop an injection site rash or reaction, photographs may be taken of the site.
