Summary

This trial is currently evaluating one candidate malaria vaccine, FMP1/AS02A. This candidate malaria vaccine is being developed for the routine immunization of infants and children living in malaria-endemic areas. This vaccine would offer protection against malaria disease due to the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Prior to the start of this study, FMP1/AS02A had been given to approximately 60 malaria-naïve adults and 40 adults and 90 children living in malaria-endemic regions. This study will investigate whether the candidate vaccine prevents malaria disease for 6 months post-vaccination. One half of the enrolled subjects will receive FMP1/AS02A and the other half rabies vaccine (RabAvert).
