Summary

This early-stage study tests a new malaria vaccine made from weakened parasites that are designed to stop growing late in the liver, before causing blood infection. About 22 healthy adults who have never had malaria will receive the vaccine or a placebo to check for safety and immune response. The goal is to see if this vaccine is safe and can better protect against malaria than earlier versions.
