and 2b: To evaluate safety of a two-dose ID93 + GLA-SE vaccine regimen administered 60 days apart on Step 2, Days 0 and 60, with TB treatment administered, at approximately: 1.1.1.1 Months 4 and 6 after start of TB treatment (Group 1) 1.1.1.2 Months 3 and 5 after start of TB treatment (Group 2) 1.1.1.3 Months 2 and 4 after start of TB treatment (Group 3 and Group 5, if this vaccination schedule is adopted for Group 5) 1.1.1.4 Months 1 and 3 after start of TB treatment (Group 4 and Group 5, if this vaccination schedule is adopted for Group 5) 1.1.2 Phase 2a and 2b: To determine if therapeutic vaccination with ID93 + GLA-SE will increase the magnitude of vaccine-specific cellular responses compared to placebo at 2 weeks post second dose of study product. 1.1.3 Phase 2b: To estimate the effect of the vaccine on the proportion of participants with TB-related unfavorable outcomes (treatment failure, TB recurrence, or death due to TB) at Day 540 after study entry, which is approximately 18 months after start of TB treatment (Group 5 combined with either Group 3 or Group 4, depending on which vaccination schedule is selected for Group 5).,

A randomized, open-label, multicenter study to compare efficacy, safety and tolerability of KLU156 with Coartem® in the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in adults and children ≥ 5 kg body weight followed by an Extension phase with repeated KLU156 treatment.
REFNo: HS3732ES

This study aims to confirm the efficacy, safety and tolerability of KLU156, a fixed dose combination of ganaplacide (KAF156) and a solid dispersion formulation of lumefantrine (lumefantrine-SDF), when administered once daily for three days in adults and children ≥ 5 kg body weight and ≥ 2 months of age suffering from uncomplicated P.Falciparum malaria (with or without other plasmodium spp. co-infection). In the Extension phase, the safety, tolerability and efficacy of repeated treatment with KLU156 will be assessed for a maximum of two years in patients who did not experience early treatment failure(ETF), who did not experience any study treatment-related SAE (Serious Adverse Event) previously and who gave informed consent to participate in the Extension phase.

REFNo: HS4196ES

The study’s primary objective is to demonstrate and quantify the protective efficacy (PE) of Mossie-GO, an active spatial repellent system disseminating transfluthrin, in reducing the prevalence of malaria infection in children ≤ 5 years of age.

The study’s secondary objective is to measure the impact of the intervention on entomological correlates of transmission including vector densities and host seeking behaviour. Insecticide resistance in the local mosquito population will also be explored.
