Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of onetime subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) administration of monoclonal antibody (MAb) L9LS in healthy Malian adults and one-time SC administration of L9LS in healthy Malian children, as well as its protective efficacy against naturally occurring Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) infection over a 7-month malaria season in healthy Malian children 6-10 years of age.

Read the detailed description

A two-part, phase 2 trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of onetime subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) administration of monoclonal antibody (MAb) L9LS in healthy Malian adults and one-time SC administration of L9LS in healthy Malian children, as well as its protective efficacy against naturally occurring Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) infection over a 7-month malaria season in healthy Malian children 6-10 years of age.

The first part of the study is an age de-escalation and dose-escalation study for safety and tolerability. Adult subjects in the dose-escalation study will be assigned in open-label fashion to 1 of 3 L9LS dose arms. Dosing will begin in the lowest dose arm. Once all subjects in that arm reach day 7 post-administration, if no safety concerns have arisen, dosing will begin at the next dose level. Once all subjects in that arm reach day 7 post-administration, if no safety concerns have arisen, dosing will begin at the highest dose level. Once all adult subjects reach day 7 post-administration, if no safety concerns have arisen, 18 subjects aged 6-10 years will be randomized 1:1 to L9LS or placebo in double-blind fashion. Once all 18 subjects reach day 7 post-administration, if no safety concerns have arisen, an additional 18 subjects aged 6-10 years will be randomized 1:1 to L9LS versus placebo. Randomization of subjects aged 6-10 years in each L9LS dose arm will be weight-stratified and enrollment will be weight de-escalated. Adult subjects will be followed for safety to assess adverse events (AEs) at study visits 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after administration, and once every month thereafter through 28 weeks. Subjects aged 6-10 years will be followed at study visits 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after administration, and once every 2 weeks thereafter through 36 weeks. Primary study assessments include physical examination and blood collection for identification of Pf infection and other research laboratory evaluations. After the last subject in the pediatric L9LS dose arm reaches day 7 safety follow-up, an interim safety evaluation will be performed before enrollment begins for the efficacy part of the study. Data from the 36 subjects aged 6-10 years enrolled in the dose-escalation study will be included in a secondary analysis to determine the relationship between L9LS concentration and the risk of Pf infection.

The second part of the study is a weight-stratified, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess safety and protective efficacy of L9LS versus placebo administered SC in children 6-10 years of age. In this part of the study, subjects will be randomized to L9LS or placebo. Randomization of subjects in each arm will be weight-stratified. Subjects in the efficacy study will receive the study agent prior to the malaria season and be followed at study visits 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days later, and once every 2 weeks thereafter through 24 weeks. Primary study assessments include physical examination and blood collection for identification of Pf infection and other research laboratory evaluations.

Prior to the last study visit of the original protocol described above (January 2023 - February 2023), study participants who remain enrolled in the dose-escalation and efficacy studies will be invited to participate in a 12-month extension study. After the safety and efficacy results are unblinded (approximately March/April 2023), participants who agree to continue with the extension will be grouped into one of 3 arms based on their original study arm assignment:

Arm 1: Up to 84 subjects who received 150 mg of L9LS in year 1 (9 from the dose-escalation study, plus 75 from the efficacy study).

Arm 2: Up to 84 subjects who received 300 mg of L9LS in year 1 (9 from the dose-escalation study, plus 75 from the efficacy study).

Arm 3: Up to 93 subjects who received placebo in year 1 (18 from the dose-escalation study, plus 75 from the efficacy study).

The protocol extension employs a pre-specified, adaptive design based on the time-to-event efficacy of 150 mg and 300 mg of L9LS against P. falciparum infection as detected by blood smear observed after the first malaria season in the original protocol. Specifically, if 150 mg and 300 mg of L9LS both show ≥60% efficacy during the first malaria season (based on the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval [CI]), participants will be re-randomized 1:1 in a double-blind fashion within each arm to receive a single dose of either L9LS (150 or 300 mg depending on study arm) or placebo administered SC before the 2023 malaria season.

The same randomization scheme will be followed if in the first malaria season the 300-mg dose of L9LS shows ≥60% efficacy (based on the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI) and the 150-mg dose of L9LS shows \<60% efficacy (based on the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI) but the difference between their respective point estimates of efficacy is ≤10%, with the exception that children who received placebo in year 1 will receive 300 mg of L9LS (or placebo) in year 2.

If 300 mg of L9LS shows ≥60% efficacy (based on the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI) and 150 mg of L9LS shows \<60% efficacy (based on the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI) but the difference between their respective point estimates of efficacy is >10% during the first malaria season, participants will be re-randomized 1:1 in a double-blind fashion within each arm to receive a single dose of either 300 mg of L9LS or placebo administered SC before the 2023 malaria season.

If 150 mg and 300 mg of L9LS both show \<60% efficacy (based on the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI) after the first malaria season, the protocol extension will be abandoned.

Before study agent administration, all subjects will be given artemether-lumefantrine to clear any preexisting Pf blood-stage infection.

Subjects will be followed at study visits 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after administration, and once every 2 weeks thereafter through 28 weeks, with a final visit occurring on study day 252 (36 weeks) to collect a final PK sample. Primary study assessments include medical history, physical examination, and blood collection for pharmacokinetics (PK), anti-drug antibody (ADA) assessments, identification of Pf infection by microscopic examination of thick blood smears and RT-PCR, and other research laboratory evaluations.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(19)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Grade 3: Pain = Any use of narcotic pain reliever or prevents daily activity; Tenderness = Significant discomfort at rest; Erythema/Redness = \> 10 cm; Induration/Swelling = \> 10 cm or prevents daily activity. Grade 4: Pain = Emergency room (ER) visit or hospitalization; Tenderness = ER visit or hospitalization; Erythema/Redness = Necrosis or exfoliative dermatitis; induration/Swelling = Necrosis Grade 5: Death

    Time frame: Within 7 days after administration of L9LS

  3. Participants With Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) - Year One

    Number of participants with local adverse events occurring within 7 days after administration of L9LS. Systemic reactogenicity events included fever, feeling unusually tired or unwell, muscle aches, headache, chills, nausea, and joint pain. Adverse events were captured by Investigator examination and history from participants.

    Time frame: Within 7 days after the administration of L9LS

  4. Severity of Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) - Year One

    The severity of systemic AEs occurring after the administration of L9LS was assessed using the grading scale below: Grade 1: Fever = 37.5\^oC-37.9\^oC; Fatigue, Headache, Myalgia = No interference with activity; Nausea = no interference with activity or 1-2 episodes/hour Grade 2: Fever = 38\^oC-38.4\^oC; Fatigue, Myalgia = Some interference with activity; Headache = Repeated use of non-narcotic pain reliever \> 24 hours or some interference with activity; Nausea = Some interference with activity or \> 2 episodes/24 hours Grade 3: Fever = 38.5\^oC-39.5\^oC; Fatigue = Prevents daily activity; Headache =Significant; any use of narcotic pain reliever or prevents daily activity; Myalgia =Significant; prevents daily activity; Nausea = Prevents daily activity, requires outpatient intravenous hydration Grade 4: Fever = \> 39.5\^oC; Fatigue, Headache, Myalgia = Emergency room (ER) visit or hospitalization; Nausea = ER visit or hospitalization for hypotensive shock Grade 5: Death

    Time frame: Within 7 days after the administration of L9LS

  5. Participants With Plasmodium Falciparum (Pf) Infection Detected by Microscopic Examination - Efficacy Study

    Number of participants with Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) blood stage infection defined as blood smear-positive for Pf was assessed by microscopic examination of thick blood smear collected from participants from day 14 through week 28 (196 days) after administration of L9LS or placebo. Analysis was done as number of participants who had at least one positive blood smear.

    Time frame: Day 7 through week 28

  6. Participants With Detectable Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) in Sera - Extension Study

    Number of participants with detectable anti-drug antibody (ADA) in sera after exposure to L9LS. Serum was collected from participants at specific timepoints throughout the study, on days 0, 7, 28, 84, 168, and 196. The tier 3 assay was used to directly measure ADA's ability to impair L9LS binding to Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP). Analysis was done to determine number of participants with positive or detectable ADA in sera.

    Time frame: Measured through week 36

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2022 to primary completion in Apr 2024, 25 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2024, 2 months after primary completion.

Of 39 phase 2 interventional studies under Malaria, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 27. This study's 25 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 10, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
