New Malaria Vaccine Study Seeks Healthy Volunteers

New Malaria Vaccine Study Seeks Healthy Volunteers
Malaria poses an enormous global health burden. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 3.3 billion people – half of the world’s population – are at risk of contracting the disease.

The NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC) has launched a new clinical study that will evaluate a vaccine designed to prevent malaria. The study will assess the safety and tolerability of the vaccine at different doses, as well as its ability to generate an immune response.

Healthy volunteers ages 18 to 45 years old are needed to participate in the study, which is being conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. Financial compensation for study participation will be provided.
