New malaria vaccine trial aims to block infection without causing illness

NCT ID NCT06862453

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) in 58 healthy adults who have never had malaria. The vaccine uses weakened malaria parasites that stop growing in the liver and cannot cause blood infection. Researchers will check if it is safe and if it protects against malaria when volunteers are later exposed to the parasite.
