Could a Dual-Action malaria vaccine end the cycle of transmission?

NCT ID NCT07147400

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial is testing a malaria vaccine that aims to both prevent infection and block the parasite from spreading to mosquitoes. Around 1,200 healthy participants aged 9 to 50 in Mali will receive either the R21 vaccine alone or a combination with Pfs230D1-CRM197, both with an adjuvant to boost immune response. The study will check safety, immune response, and whether the vaccine reduces malaria transmission.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Malaria vaccines (R21 and Pfs230D1-CRM197) with Matrix-M1 adjuvant

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a vaccine that both prevents malaria infection and blocks its spread, reducing disease burden in endemic areas.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are still early. The vaccine may not provide strong or lasting protection, and side effects like injection site reactions or fever are possible.
