MALARIA ERADICATION
THROUGH VACCINATION
Sanaria's vaccines are intended to be used to prevent malaria in individuals and, in combination with other malaria control measures, to halt transmission of and eliminate malaria from communities.
Sanaria’s PfSPZ Vaccine Achieves Durable Protection Against Heterologous Malaria Infection in a Clinical Trial
In a report published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, investigators from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), NIH and the University of Maryland School of Medicine reported that nine of fourteen subjects (64%) immunized with three doses of Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine were protected against homologous challenge with Plasmodium falciparum malaria 19 weeks after their last vaccine dose. Moreover, five of six of the protected subjects who underwent a subsequent heterologous challenge with Plasmodium falciparum 33 weeks after their last vaccine dose were protected.
Sanaria’s PfSPZ Vaccine Confers Significant Protection Against Natural Malaria infections in Mali
In a report published today in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, investigators reported that Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine protected against natural infections of Plasmodium falciparum, the leading cause of malaria deaths and that protection was sustained for the 24 weeks of the study in an area of intense malaria transmission.
Sanaria’s PfSPZ-CVac Vaccine Achieves High Level Protection Against Malaria in Clinical Trial
In a report published today in Nature, investigators from the University of Tübingen reported all nine subjects (100%) immunized with three doses of Sanaria® PfSPZ-CVac malaria vaccine in a recently completed clinical trial were protected against Plasmodium falciparum malaria when exposed to the disease 10 weeks after last vaccine dose. Professor Peter Kremsner, MD, Director of the Institute of Tropical Medicine at the University, led the clinical team.
Phase 2 trial in Kenya will assess the safety, tolerability and protective efficacy
The Foundation for Vaccine Research reports on a phase 2 trial in Kenya that will assess the safety, tolerability and protective efficacy of the vaccine administered by direct venous inoculation (DVI) to infants 5-12 months of age, living in an area of high-malaria transmission.
Sanaria’s PfSPZ Vaccine Provides High-Level Defense Against Malaria In U.S. Navy and Army Clinical Investigation
Sanaria Inc. continues to achieve success in its coordinated efforts to develop a safe, effective and affordable vaccine that delivers mass malaria protection in humans and promotes elimination of the disease worldwide. Research published today in JCI Insight by a team of clinical investigators at the Naval Medical Research Center and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research reports that Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine protected against Plasmodium falciparum malaria when clinical trial participants were exposed to two strains of parasites.
Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine Against Malaria Receives FDA Fast Track Designation
Sanaria Inc. today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track designation for its preventative vaccine for malaria, Sanaria® PfSPZ Vaccine. Sanaria believes its PfSPZ Vaccine is the only malaria vaccine to have ever received this distinction.
An Urgent Need for Malaria Vaccines
Sanaria has an innovative approach to malaria vaccines using Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (SPZ) as the platform technology for immunizing people against malaria infection. The proven effective results of this approach are documented in Sanaria’s publications.
Global Collaboration: The I-PfSPZ Consortium
Semi-annually, Sanaria organizes the international PfSPZ Consortium (i-PfSPZ-C) meeting for our partners, collaborators and funders where we analyze, present and discuss our findings prior to publication. The i-PfSPZ-C allows our collaborators and partners to share their work, modify research and clinical plans based on the consortium efforts and map out future funding needs.
