    Abstract Introduction: Malaria is preventable yet causes >600,000 deaths annually. RTS, S, the first marketed malaria vaccine, has modest efficacy, but improvements are needed for eradication.
    Methods: We conducted an open-label, dose escalation Phase 1 study of a recombinant, full-length circumsporozoite protein vaccine (rCSP) administered with adjuvant GLA-LSQ on days 1, 29, and 85 or 1 and 490 to healthy, malaria-naïve adults. Primary endpoints were safety and reactogenicity. Secondary endpoints were antibody responses and Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia after homologous controlled human malaria infection (CHMI).
    Results: Participants were enrolled into four groups receiving rCSP/GLA-LSQ: 10 µg x 3 (n = 20), 30 µg x 3 (n = 10), 60 µg x 3 (n = 10) or 60 µg x 2 (n = 9); ten participants received 30 µg rCSP alone x 3; and six infectivity controls. Participants experienced no serious adverse events. Rates of solicited and unsolicited adverse events were similar among groups. All 26 participants who underwent CHMI 28 days after final vaccinations developed malaria. Increasing vaccine doses induced higher IgG titers, but did not achieve previously established RTS, S benchmarks.
    Conclusions: rCSP/GLA-LSQ had favorable safety results. However, tested regimens did not induce protective immunity. Further investigation could assess if adjuvant or schedule adjustments improve efficacy.

    Abstract Since antiquity, the genus Commiphora is composed of more than 200 species, and has been exploited as a natural drug to treat pain, skin infections, inflammatory conditions, diarrhea, and periodontal diseases. In more recent history, products derived from Commiphora myrrha and various other species of Commiphora are becoming recognized to possess significant antiseptic, anesthetic, and antitumor properties. Traditional practice and evidence-based research have supported that these properties are directly attributable to terpenoids (especially furanosesquiterpenes), the active compounds present in myrrh essential oil. More recently, current studies have focused on applying clinical trial methodologies to validate its use as an antineoplastic, an antiparasitic agent, and as an adjunct in healing wounds.

    Abstract Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP) is a major sporozoite surface protein and a key target of pre-erythrocytic malaria subunit vaccines. A full-length recombinant CSP (rCSP) based strategy could be advantageous, as this antigen includes a region critical to sporozoite cell attachment and hepatocyte invasion. The adjuvant Glucopyranosyl Lipid A-liposome Quillaja saponaria 21 (GLA-LSQ) functions as a TLR4 agonist, promotes antigen-specific T

    Abstract Neurocysticercosis and trichuriasis are difficult-to-treat parasitic infections that affect more than 1.5 billion people worldwide. Oxfendazole, a potent broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic approved for use in veterinary medicine, has shown substantial antiparasitic activity against neurocysticercosis and intestinal helminths in preclinical studies. As part of a program to transition oxfendazole from veterinary medicine to human use, phase I multiple ascending dose and food effect studies were conducted. Thirty-six healthy adults were enrolled in an open-label study which evaluated (i) the pharmacokinetics and safety of oxfendazole following multiple ascending doses of oxfendazole oral suspension at 3, 7.5, and 15 mg/kg once daily for 5 days and (ii) the effect of food on oxfendazole pharmacokinetics and safety after a single 3-mg/kg dose administered following an overnight fast or the consumption of a fatty breakfast. Following multiple oral dose administration, the intestinal absorption of oxfendazole was rapid, with the time to maximum concentration of drug in serum (

    Abstract Retroviral gene therapy can restore immunity to infants with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) caused by mutations in the IL2RG gene encoding the common gamma chain (gammac) of receptors for interleukins 2 (IL-2), -4, -7, -9, -15, and -21. We investigated the safety and efficacy of gene therapy as salvage treatment for older XSCID children with inadequate immune reconstitution despite prior bone marrow transplant from a parent. Subjects received retrovirus-transduced autologous peripherally mobilized CD34(+) hematopoietic cells. T-cell function significantly improved in the youngest subject (age 10 years), and multilineage retroviral marking occurred in all 3 children.
