Tables of Malaria Vaccine Projects Globally
"The Rainbow Tables"
Malaria vaccines are considered amongst the most important modalities for potential prevention of malaria disease and death. Research and development in this field has been an area of intense effort by many groups over the last few decades. Despite this, there is currently no licensed, effective malaria vaccine. Researchers, clinical trialists and vaccine developers have been working on many approaches to bring forward the availability of such a highly effective malaria vaccine.
These spreadsheets have been compiled by WHO with the help of several major malaria vaccine funding agencies, individual investigators and groups. We gratefully acknowledge the input of all those who contributed. The tables provide an abbreviated description of the information provided to WHO. Prior to 2010 information was presented in a Word table format. With the provision of more detailed information, the format was changed in 2010 to a spreadsheet. Currently these spreadsheets represent the most complete publicly available summary of malaria vaccine projects at advanced pre-clinical and clinical stages globally. We actively solicit input from groups whose works are listed in these worksheets to provide information to complete missing cells, where such information is of use to the global community and is appropriate to be placed in the public domain. Please also report links which no longer work or any perceived errors to moorthyv@who.int
The pre-clinical projects are intended to represent only projects which are at a serious pre-clinical process development stage with a reasonably high chance of reaching clinical evaluation. Projects listed as "clinical" have begun immunizations of the first study participants and those listed as discontinued had previously been under clinical evaluation. Many of the discontinued projects have contributed greatly to ongoing development of new iterations.
