Tests treatment safety and results for Malaria, Falciparum

Official title Single Ascending Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of LAI MMV055 Alone and in Combination With MMV371 in Healthy Participants

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07011511

What this study is testing

What is MMV055 Dose 1?

MMV055 Dose 1 is an investigational medicine, given as an injection into a muscle, being studied as a potential treatment for malaria, falciparum.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a single-centre, participant- and investigator-blind, randomised, placebo controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of a single dose of IM depot injection(s) of LAI formulations of MMV055 administered alone (Part A) and in combination with MMV371 (Part B) in healthy participants. It is planned to enroll up to 6 sequential cohorts of 8 healthy male participants and healthy female participants of non-childbearing potential in Part A.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
