Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Falciparum malaria incidence by study groups
Falciparum malaria incidence will be determined by the number of clinical falciparum malaria cases confirmed by Rapid diagnostic test (RDT) or microscopy to determine the overall protective efficacy against clinical falciparum malaria among study groups. The investigators will look for the presence of axillary temperature ≥37.5°C AND P. falciparum positive RDT or microscopy as a primary case definition of clinical falciparum malaria.
Falciparum malaria prevalence by study groups
Falciparum malaria prevalence will be determined by the number of positive falciparum confirmed by dried blood spots (DBS) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) malaria detection method during cross-sectional surveys to determine the overall protective efficacy against subclinical P. falciparum among study groups. The investigators will collect dried blood spots to detect malaria during cross-sectional surveys from the healthy participants. Those who have axillary temperature ≥37.5°C AND P. falciparum positive RDT or microscopy will receive treatment according to national treatment guidelines.
Overall percentage of falciparum malaria positivity by study groups
The percentage of falciparum malaria positivity will be determined by the number of falciparum positives detected by PCR, RDT or microscopy to determine overall protective efficacy against clinical and subclinical falciparum malaria among study groups. Dried blood spots to detect malaria from by PCR will be collected at baseline and every six months until two years. Clinical malaria data detected by rapid diagnostic test or microscopy will be collected for two years following intervention. The investigators will look for the presence of axillary temperature ≥37.5°C AND P. falciparum positive RDT or microscopy as a primary case definition of clinical malaria. The investigators will collect dried blood spots to detect malaria during cross-sectional surveys from the healthy participants.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is an open i.e. not blinded, cluster-randomised, controlled intervention study. The study will use a factorial design to estimate the protective effectiveness of mass drug administrations, mass vaccinations, combined mass vaccinations and drug administrations versus the current standard of care.
Detailed Description
Trial Activities: The investigators are most interested in the combined effect of mass administration of vaccines and drugs on malaria transmission. Can MVDA reduce the parasite prevalence in intervention villages compared to control villages which did not receive the intervention? The entire village population will be enrolled at study start and followed for two years after D0, the first day of the interventions in the intervention villages. The village population is a dynamic cohort with new members entering the cohort by birth or immigration and other members leaving the cohort due to emigration or death. Newcomers entering villages will receive MVDA as soon as feasible and as appropriate (dependent on age). Secondly, the investigators want to know how effective the individual components of the intervention, mass vaccinations and mass drug administrations are in relation to MVDA?

Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
DHA/piperaquine and a SLD-PQ
Intervention Description
Participants in Arms 1 and 2 will receive three rounds of antimalarial drugs - each round starting on the day of vaccination (Day 0) at Study Months 0, 1, and 2. Each round consists of three daily doses of co-formulated dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine on Day 0, 1, and 2 (i.e. the day of vaccination and each day for 2 days after). The drug dose is based on the weight of the participant at the first visit (M0D0). Dihydroartemisinin/piperaquine tablets (Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) for adult participants each contain 40 mg dihydroartemisinin and 320 mg piperaquine with a therapeutic dose range between 2-10 mg/kg/day dihydroartemisinin and 16-26 mg/kg/dose piperaquine. In addition, each participant will receive a single low dose primaquine on the day of vaccination (Day 0; Table 4). One single low dose primaquine of approximately 0.25 mg/kg (Thai Government Pharmaceutical Organisation) will be administered. Children under 10kg do not receive PQ.
Intervention Type
Biological
Intervention Name(s)
Study vaccine R21/Matrix-M™
Intervention Description
The mixing prior to administration strategy will involve withdrawal of 0.5 mL antigen from one vial of R21 Malaria vaccine and adding it to Matrix-M1 vial. 0.5 mL of R21 antigen shall be withdrawn from another vial of R21 Malaria vaccine and be added to the same Matrix-M1 vial. The total volume in Matrix-M1 vial will be 1.5 mL. After addition the content will be mixed gently, and 0.75 mL of the mixture will be withdrawn and administered to participants. Each dose of 0.75mL (after mixing of R21 with Matrix-M1) will contain 10 µg of R21 and 50 µg for participants 14 years and older. In children up to 14 years a 5 μg will be used.
