NCT ID NCT05400655

Summary

This study tested a one-time injection of an experimental antibody called L9LS to see if it could safely protect children from getting malaria. Over 900 healthy children in Kenya, where malaria is common, received either the antibody or a placebo shot. Researchers monitored the children for up to a year to check for side effects and to see if the antibody prevented malaria infections.
