New clinical trials for malaria vaccine begin in Burkina Faso Vaccinations have started at the Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé – Clinical Research Unit of Nanoro (IRSS-URCN), Burkina Faso for two clinical trials to assess the blood-stage malaria vaccine candidates R78C and RH5.1 with Matrix-M (developed by the Draper Lab in the Department of Paediatrics), in combination with the R21/​Matrix-M vaccine, which targets the earlier liver-stage.

NEWS: New clinical trials for malaria vaccine begin in Burkina Faso

These studies are expected to provide proof-of-concept for the use of a multi-stage vaccine to extend the protection against malaria.
