Official scientific title Safety and immunogenicity of a heterologous prime-boost vaccine strategy with AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP in children in a malaria endemic area
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial A phase 1 study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a heterologous prime-boost vaccine strategy with AdCh63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP in 36 healthy children aged 2-6 years in a malaria endemic area. Safety was assessed by clinical evaluations post vaccination, and immunogenicity was assessed by ELISPOT assay and intra-cellular cytokine staining by flow cytometry.

STUDY DESIGN
Intervention assignment Allocation to intervention If randomised, describe how the allocation sequence was generated Describe how the allocation sequence/code was concealed from the person allocating the participants to the intervention arms Masking If masking / blinding was used
Parallel: different groups receive different interventions at same time during study Randomised Simple randomisation using a radomisation table created by a computer software program Allocation was determined by the holder of the sequence who is situated off site Open-label(Masking Not Used)
