NCT02334462 ↗	Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Pfs230D1M-EPA/Alhydrogel and Pfs25M-EPA/Alhydrogel , a Transmission Blocking Vaccine Against Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria, in Adults in the U.S. and Mali	Completed	Rodolphe Merieux Laboratory@@@Bamako, Mali	Phase 1	2015-01-07	Background: - Malaria is a severe infection caused by a parasite. People can get malaria if a mosquito that carries the parasite bites them. Malaria infection does not happen in the United States, but many people in Africa, Asia, and South America are at risk for it. Researchers want to test two vaccines that may help decrease malaria infection. Objective: - To see if two vaccines (Pfs25M-EPA/Alhydrogel and Pfs230DIM-EPA/Alhydrogel ) are safe in humans and cause an immune response that will prevent malaria parasites from correctly growing in the mosquito. Eligibility: - Healthy adults ages 18 50. Design: - There are several groups in this study. Each group will receive a different dose of the vaccine and some groups will received both vaccines. - Vaccinations will be given on two days about 4 weeks apart. - Participants will receive each vaccine as an injection into the arm. Blood will be drawn on the day of vaccination. - In the 4 weeks after receiving a vaccination, participants will have at least 3 clinic visits and 1 phone contact. They will have at least 3 more visits and 3 phone contacts over the next 6 months. - At each visit, participants will be evaluated for side effects to the vaccine and any new health changes or problems. They will be asked how they are feeling and if they have taken any medicine. Blood and urine samples may be taken at the visit. More follow-up visits may be needed to follow up on changes or problems.

Trial ID	Phase	Study Focus	Population	Key Findings	Status
NCT03472587	Phase IV	Post-marketing effectiveness	Adults and adolescents (≥16 years)	98.2% seroprotection; durable immunity up to 5 years	Completed 2021
NCT02812726	Phase III	Immunogenicity in HIV-positive patients	HIV-positive adults	Comparable seroprotection rates (≥90%) to immunocompetent	Completed 2020
NCT03642500	Phase IV	Booster dose efficacy	Children (1-6 years)	95% booster response; safety profile consistent	Enrolled 2019-2022; ongoing analysis
NCT04572634	Phase IV	Long-term safety	Adults	No serious adverse events; sustained antibody titers	Ongoing

Key Clinical Data

• Immunogenicity: Phase III and IV data affirm that TWINRIX elicits protective antibody levels (>10 mIU/mL for hepatitis B, >20 mIU/mL for hepatitis A) in over 95% of recipients.
• Durability: Long-term data suggest immunity persists for at least five years without booster in most recipients.
• Safety: Reactions are mild and consistent with established profiles—primarily injection site pain, fatigue, and headache.
• Special Populations: Promising results in immunocompromised subgroups (e.g., HIV-positive), expanding potential indications.
