ArmTypeDescription
Group 1a (PfSPZ Vaccine)EXPERIMENTALGroup 1a: subjects (n=21) will receive four doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7 as a prime, followed by a boost of 9.0x10\^5 PfSPZ Vaccine on Day 113. Controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) with PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) will be administered 8 weeks after the last boost dose by DVI injection.
Group 2a (PfSPZ Vaccine)EXPERIMENTALGroup 2a: subjects (n=21) will receive four doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7 as a prime. CHMI with PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) will be administered 8 weeks after the last prime dose by DVI injection.
Group 3a (PfSPZ Vaccine)EXPERIMENTALGroup 3a: subjects (n=21) will receive four doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7 as a prime, followed by a boost of 9.0x10\^5 PfSPZ Vaccine on Day 29. CHMI with PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) will be administered 8 weeks after the last boost dose by DVI injection.
Group 4a (PfSPZ Vaccine)EXPERIMENTALGroup 4a: subjects (n=21) will receive two doses of PfSPZ Vaccine (9.0 x 10\^5 PfSPZ/dose) on Days 1 and 8 as a prime, followed by a boost of 9.0x10\^5 PfSPZ Vaccine on Day 29. CHMI with PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) will be administered 8 weeks after the last boost dose by DVI injection.
Group 1b (NS)PLACEBO_COMPARATORGroup 1b: subjects (n=5) will receive normal saline (NS) placebo on Days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 113. CHMI with PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) will be administered 8 weeks after the last immunization by DVI.
Group 2b (NS)PLACEBO_COMPARATORGroup 2b: subjects (n=5) will receive NS placebo on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7. CHMI with PfSPZ Challenge (NF54) will be administered 8 weeks after the last immunization by DVI.
