Major trial aims to shield children from deadly malaria

NCT ID NCT04704830

Summary

This large study is testing whether a new vaccine called R21/Matrix-M can safely protect young children in Africa from getting sick with malaria. It involves 4,800 children aged 5-36 months, who receive either the malaria vaccine or a control vaccine. Researchers are comparing the two groups to see how well the vaccine prevents malaria over several years, including with different booster shot schedules.
