Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The safety profile will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria �� Immediate reactogenicity (any event occurring within the first three (3) hours after each vaccination, with emphasis on allergic reactions) �� Local and systemic reactogenicity (any event occurring from three (3) hours post vaccination on Day 0 till Day 14 after each dose) �� Any unsolicited adverse events 28 days after each vaccination �� Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) occurring from the first dose of vaccine till the last follow-up visit. �� Biological safety, 28 days after each vaccination, in reference with the baseline before the first dose, by measuring the following parameters: ? Haematology: RBC Count, Haemoglobin*, Haematocrit/Packed Cell Volume (PCV), MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume), MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration) on Days -14, 28, 56, 180, 208, 365 ? Platelet Count and Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) along with Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC) on Days -14, 28, 56, 180, 208, 365. *If the haemoglobin drops below 13 gm/dL, then a direct Coomb?s test and a peripheral blood smear/film will be prepared and examined for evidence of possible haemolysis ? Serum Chemistry: Potassium, Sodium, AST, ALT, Direct, Indirect and Total Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase, Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (γGT), Creatinine, and Random blood glucose on Days -14, 28, 56, 180, 208, 365 The Investigator will be responsible for causality assessment i.e. assessment of the relationship of the AE to either of the assigned the study vaccines, using the following definitions: related or not related.  NA 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
? The humoral response to the candidate vaccine antigen will be assessed (quantitative assessment) by measuring the level of IgG antibodies developed against PfMSP-119 and PfF2 by ELISA on Days 0, 28, 56, 180, 208 and 365 ? The humoral response to the candidate vaccine antigen will be assessed (qualitative assessment) to verify the ability of the IgG antibodies developed against PfMSP-119 and PfF2 to recognise the native proteins, namely, PfMSP1 and EBA175 in late stage P. falciparum schizonts and merozoites by IFA on Days 0, 28, 56, 180, 208 and 365.   NA

Brief Summary   This Phase I, first in man study is designed as a randomized, controlled, single-blind and dose-escalating clinical study for the assessment of the safety and immunogenicity of JAIVAC-1 malaria vaccine (PfMSP-119 and PfF2) formulated with Montanide ISA 720 as an adjuvant in healthy Indian male subjects between 18 to 45 years of age. The study involves testing of three (3) different dosages of JAIVAC-1 malaria vaccine in three different dosage cohorts. Hepatitis B vaccine will serve as an active control. Each Cohort will have 15 subjects. The randomization schedule will be 2:1, i.e. 10 subjects will receive the investigational vaccine and 5 subjects will be administered hepatitis- B, the control vaccine. Thus, in total in this study, 30 subjects will receive JAIVAC-1―Montanide ISA720 (10 subjects at each dosage cohort) and 15 subjects will receive control vaccine. Both the study vaccines will be administered via intramuscular route and shall have a 3-dose schedule on Days 0, 28 and 180. In the first Cohort subjects will receive 0.1 ml of investigational vaccine. If found to be safe and well tolerated second cohort will receive 0.25 ml of investigational vaccine and finally Cohort 3 will receive 0.5 ml of investigational vaccine. Each cohort will be staggered into sub-cohorts such that the subjects in each cohort will be enrolled over a three-day period. The first three (3) subjects of the first dose (Cohort 1) will be kept under observation for 24 hrs following vaccination. The decision of the 24-hour housing for the remaining subjects will be jointly taken by the Principal Investigator and Medical and Safety Monitor, DLS.
