Multiple clinical trials empirically assessing two to six doses have shown multi-dose priming (two to four doses the first week) to be optimal for protection in both 4- and 16-week regimens. In this randomized, double-blind, normal saline (NS) placebo-controlled trial, four groups (G) of 18- to 32-year-old Equatoguineans received multi-dose priming regimens with or without a delayed final dose at 4 or 16 weeks. The regimens were G1: days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 113; G2: days 1, 3, 5, and 7; G3: days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 29; and G4: days 1, 8, and 29. All doses were 9 \u00d7 10<jats:sup>5<\/jats:sup> PfSPZ. Tolerability, safety, immunogenicity, and vaccine efficacy (VE) against homologous controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) 6\u20137 weeks after vaccination were assessed to down-select the best regimen. All four regimens were safe and well tolerated, with no significant differences in adverse events (AEs) between vaccinees (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 84) and NS controls (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 20) or between regimens. Out of 19 controls, 13 developed Pf parasitemia by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) after CHMI. Only the vaccine regimen administered on study days 1, 8, and 29 gave significant protection (7\/21 vaccinees versus 13\/19 controls infected, VE 51.3%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.03, Barnard\u2019s test, two-tailed). There were no significant differences in antibodies against Pf circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP), a major SPZ antigen, between protected and nonprotected vaccinees or controls pre-CHMI. The six controls not developing Pf parasitemia had significantly higher antibodies to blood stage antigens Pf exported protein 1 (PfEXP1) and Pf merozoite surface protein 1 (PfMSP1) than the controls who developed parasitemia, suggesting naturally acquired immunity against Pf limited infections in controls. This study identified a safe, protective, 4-week, multi-dose prime vaccination regimen for assessment in future trials of PfSPZ Vaccine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]],"date-time":"2022-02-07T15:49:17Z","timestamp":1644248957000},"page":"1215-1226","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Multi-Dose Priming Regimens of PfSPZ Vaccine: Safety and Efficacy against Controlled Human Malaria Infection in Equatoguinean Adults"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Said Abdallah","family":"Jongo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Bagamoyo Research and Training Center, Ifakara Health Institute, Bagamoyo, Tanzania;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
