Objectives:  To assess the safety and immunogenicity of two vaccines, MSP1 42 -FVO/Alhydrogel and MSP1 42 -3D7/Alhydrogel, targeting blood-stage  Plasmodium falciparum  parasites.    Design:  A Phase 1 open-label, dose-escalating study.    Setting:  Quintiles Phase 1 Services, Lenexa, Kansas between July 2004 and November 2005.    Participants:  Sixty healthy malaria-naïve volunteers 18–48 y of age.    Interventions:  The C-terminal 42-kDa region of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1 42 ) corresponding to the two allelic forms present in FVO and 3D7  P. falciparum  lines were expressed in  Escherichia coli,  refolded, purified, and formulated on Alhydrogel (aluminum hydroxide). For each vaccine, volunteers in each of three dose cohorts (5, 20, and 80 μg) were vaccinated at 0, 28, and 180 d. Volunteers were followed for 1 y.    Outcome Measures:  The safety of MSP1 42 -FVO/Alhydrogel and MSP1 42 -3D7/Alhydrogel was assessed. The antibody response to each vaccine was measured by reactivity to homologous and heterologous MSP1 42 , MSP1 19 , and MSP1 33  recombinant proteins and recognition of FVO and 3D7 parasites.    Results:   Anti-MSP1 42  antibodies were detected by ELISA in 20/27 (74%) and 22/27 (81%) volunteers receiving three vaccinations of MSP1 42 -FVO/Alhydrogel or MSP1 42 -3D7/Alhydrogel, respectively. Regardless of the vaccine, the antibodies were cross-reactive to both MSP1 42 -FVO and MSP1 42 -3D7 proteins. The majority of the antibody response targeted the C-terminal 19-kDa domain of MSP1 42 , although low-level antibodies to the N-terminal 33-kDa domain of MSP1 42  were also detected. Immunofluorescence microscopy of sera from the volunteers demonstrated reactivity with both FVO and 3D7  P. falciparum  schizonts and free merozoites. Minimal in vitro growth inhibition of FVO or 3D7 parasites by purified IgG from the sera of the vaccinees was observed.    Conclusions:  The MSP1 42 /Alhydrogel vaccines were safe and well tolerated but not sufficiently immunogenic to generate a biologic effect in vitro. Addition of immunostimulants to the Alhydrogel formulation to elicit higher vaccine-induced responses in humans may be required for an effective vaccine.
