New malaria vaccine faces first Real-World test in tanzania

NCT ID NCT07124156

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

Summary

This early-stage trial will test the SUM-101 malaria vaccine in 24 healthy adults in Tanzania who have been exposed to malaria before. Participants will receive three doses of the vaccine or a rabies control shot, then be deliberately infected with a controlled dose of malaria parasites to see if the vaccine delays or prevents infection. The main goal is to check safety and whether the vaccine triggers an immune response.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

SUM-101 (MSP1 protein with GLA-SE adjuvant)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a vaccine that protects against malaria by targeting the blood stage of the parasite.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1b trial with only 24 participants. Previous trials showed no efficacy data, so the vaccine may not protect against infection. Side effects are possible.
