This study aims to compare the safety and immunogenicity of AdCh63 AMA1 and MVA AMA1vaccine candidates administered alone and with adjuvants in various schedules. These vaccines consist of inactivated viruses which have been modified, so they cannot reproduce in humans, and also to include genetic material for malaria protein AMA1 which is expressed by the malaria parasite during blood stage infection. The vaccines are designed to stimulate an immune response to this malaria protein and thus provide protection against malaria infection. Adjuvants are a crucial component of modern vaccine regimens, increasing the immunogenicity and potency of protein vaccines. In this study we will assess whether virus vectored vaccines combined with protein in adjuvant AMA1-C1/Alhydrogel® and CPG 7909 adjuvant (emulsion containing TLR agonist) can induce stronger and more durable immune response.

Safety of vaccination
To assess the safety of vaccination of healthy adults with AdCh63 AMA1, MVA AMA1 \& AMA1-C1/Alhydrogel® +/- CPG 7909 administered in various schedules using actively and passively collected data on adverse events
Time frame: Expected average of 12 months
Immunogenicity of vaccination
To assess the immunogenicity of vaccination of healthy adults with AdCh63 AMA1, MVA AMA1 \& AMA1-C1/Alhydrogel® +/- CPG 7909 administered in various schedules by measuring T cell responses (IFN-γ ELISPOT, flow cytometry), B cell responses and antibody responses to AMA1. Further immunological assessments may be undertaken as necessary
Time frame: Expected average of 12 months
