Open-Label Study to Assess Meplazumab in Adult Patients Diagnosed with Plasmodium Falciparum

Meplazumab, an erythrocytic stage-macromolecular antibody drug, has the potential to control clinical occurrence of falciparum malaria. Meplazumab is a humanized anti-CD147 immunoglobulin G subclass 2 (IgG2) monoclonal antibody with strong affinity to CD147. CD147 is expressed on erythrocyte lineage cells throughout erythroid development, including mature erythrocytes and is the target for Plasmodium merozoites to allow reorientation and subsequent invasion of the erythrocytes.
