Plasmodium falciparum malaria

This early-stage trial tests a new malaria vaccine called PfSPZ-LARC2 in up to 22 healthy adults who have never had malaria. The vaccine uses live but genetically weakened malaria parasites that stop developing late in the liver, aiming to trigger a stronger immune response than …

This early-stage study tests whether giving the R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine in a new, escalating-dose schedule is safe and creates a strong immune response. It involves 36 healthy adults in the UK who have never had malaria. The goal is to find a better way to protect people fro…

This study tests two experimental malaria vaccines in 360 children aged 5 to 36 months in Burkina Faso, a country where malaria is common. The vaccines aim to prevent malaria caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. Researchers will check how safe the vaccines are, how well …

This study tests two experimental vaccines designed to stop the malaria parasite from spreading from person to person. The vaccines target the parasite's development inside mosquitoes, so vaccinated people who get bitten are less likely to pass the infection on. The trial involve…

This study tests a new malaria vaccine called SUM-101 in 69 healthy children and infants aged 5 months to 5 years in Burkina Faso. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response. Participants receive three doses, and some infants also receive a ra…

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug itacitinib, given with standard care, can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people who receive a donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers. GVHD happens when the donor cells attack the patient's body. The study includes 31 ad…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study looked at how two different malaria drug combinations work in children with uncomplicated malaria in Zambia. The goal was to see how well the drugs clear malaria parasites from the blood and prevent new infections for up to 9 weeks. About 182 children took part, and re…

This study tests whether screening pregnant women for malaria with a highly sensitive rapid test during the first trimester, followed by treatment if positive, can improve newborn health. Over 2,000 women in malaria-prone areas will be compared to those receiving usual care. The …

This study aimed to see if sending health workers to find malaria cases in high-risk villages and among forest workers could lower malaria rates better than usual care. It planned to track infections over 18 months in southern Laos. However, the study was withdrawn before any par…

This study tests whether giving antimalarial drugs to entire communities can reduce malaria transmission. About 18,000 people in 50 villages in Senegal will take part. The goal is to clear hidden malaria parasites that standard treatments miss, especially during the dry season.

This study tests whether giving school children preventive malaria medicine can reduce infections not only in them but also in younger siblings at home. About 1,000 students in rural Malawi will receive either one of two drug combinations or no preventive treatment. Researchers w…

This pilot study tests whether a daily mindful music listening program is practical and acceptable for patients hospitalized after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. About 35 adults will listen to music for one hour each day using a web-based platform. The study measures how fea…

This study looks at whether adding art therapy to physical therapy can help children aged 5 to 18 recover emotionally and physically after a stem cell transplant. For two weeks, some children receive both art and physical therapy daily, while others get only physical therapy. Res…

This study tracks how the malaria drug artemether-lumefantrine passes from a breastfeeding mother into her breastmilk and then into her nursing infant. Researchers will take blood and milk samples from 30 mother-infant pairs in Uganda over two weeks. The goal is to understand dru…

This study follows 50 young men who had cancer or blood disorders as children and received treatments that can harm fertility. Some stored testicular tissue before treatment; others did not. Researchers will check their fertility through exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and semen…

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…
