Background
Fully efficient vaccines against malaria pre-erythrocytic stage are still lacking. The
Significance
PfCS102 peptide was safe and highly immunogenic, allowing the design of more advanced trials to test its potential for protection. Two or three immunizations with a dose of 30 microg formulated with AS02A appeared the most appropriate choice for such studies.
Trial registration
