Filter by:LA rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP -02-PED is a Phase 1/2, randomized, controlled open label trial. The LA rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP -02-PED trial aims primarily to assess the clinical significance of shedding of the rVSV RNA following vaccination with the rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP vaccine in children. The vaccine doses of ≥7.8 x 107 pfu will be evaluated and compared to vaccination with varicella vaccine as a control. In addition, the closest contact persons of the vaccinees will be monitored for possible transmission of the viral vaccine vector. The study will enroll children of two age groups living in Lambaréné, Gabon. Children will be followed-up for 12 months post vaccination. The 1-2 closest contact persons of each participant will be involved in the monitoring of rVSV transmission. They will be followed until day 56 post- vaccination of their children/ sibling.
This is an open label study to evaluate the safety and immune response to a booster dose of Ad26.ZEBOV Ebola vaccine in HIV+ adults from Kenya and Uganda. Only participants who have received the 2-dose Ebola vaccine regimen "Ad26.ZEBOV/MVA-BN-Filo " in the VAC52150EBL2002 vaccine trial about 4 years ago are eligible to take part. Approximately 50 healthy HIV+ adults, aged 18 - 50 years at the time of the parent trial, will be invited. Participants will first be asked to provide consent to participate in this study. Upon receiving the booster vaccination, participants will be followed up for approximately 28 days (+/- 3 days) to collect information on side effects and provide blood samples for antibody measurement. This study is designed to provide descriptive information regarding vaccine safety and immunogenicity. There is no formal treatment comparisons and no formal testing of statistical hypothesis.
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a serious illness with a high fatality rate. Currently only one vaccine is available, VSV-ZEBOV/Ervebo; this vaccine is clinically effective and has been deployed as a preventive measure during recent Ebola outbreaks. The durability of protection afforded by this vaccine is unknown, however, and it is thought that a booster vaccination may be required to maintain immune responses. Recently, a synthetic DNA vaccine, INO-4201, was tested in humans and showed good immunogenicity and an enhanced safety profile. This study aims to test whether the DNA-based candidate INO-4201 can be used as a booster in healthy volunteers previously vaccinated with VSV-ZEBOV.
This study highlighted the possibility, even in epidemic settings, of providing advanced supportive care for patients with VMEs. Indeed, while the prospect of offering any invasive medical care was widely discussed in 2014 in West Africa with the aim of limiting the exposure of caregivers, the epidemic of 2018-2019 has on the contrary seen the development of a number of medical care strategies, in parallel with the deployment of specific treatments. This study aims to describe a cohort of patients receiving this upgraded supportive care during the tenth epidemic in the DRC.
Primary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cAd3-EBO-S and cAd3 Marburg vaccines when administered Intramuscular (IM) at a dose of 1 x 10^11 particle units (PU) to healthy adults. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the antibody response to Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus Ebola-S (cAd3-EBO-S) and Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus (Marburg) (cAd3 Marburg) vaccines as assessed by antigen glycoprotein (GP) specific (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) ELISA - To collect sufficient post-vaccination plasma to support further development of filovirus assays
This is an open-label study evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of Ad26.ZEBOV administered to children who were previously vaccinated with Ad26.ZEBOV followed by MVA-BN-Filo 56 days later.
Ebola virus is one of the most dangerous human pathogens and is an emerging public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976. The current epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the largest and most complex ever recorded, and is not yet under control: a new death has been reported on April 10th, 2020. The epidemic was declared a public health emergency of international scope by the World Health Organization (WHO) on July 17th, 2019. Two studies are the "standard" in the assessment of the consequences of infection in survivors, in Liberia (PREVAIL) and Guinea (PostEbogui), especially in: - The observation of comparable mortality rates, even if over time there was an improvement in survival, probably linked to the improvement in the quality of care and symptomatic treatment; - And the study of the contacts of the survivors, between 4 to 10% of them had done seroconversion with regard to Ebola virus (EBOV) in an asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic way and that this rate varied according to the degree of exposure to the risk. The DRC's experience in this area and the enormous progress made in the fight against Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), therapeutically and preventively (where much of which patients have benefited from antiviral treatment or monoclonal antibodies), the technological responses (real-time sequencing of Ebola strains in new cases, vaccination or the use of individual isolation units), show the limits of their effectiveness. A large number of questions therefore remain unanswered: - The antibody profile of the survivors, in particular the repertoire of immunoglobulin G (IgG) specific to these individuals and its correlation with survival and its evolution over time; - The impact of treatments initiated during the acute phase on these immune abnormalities; - Finally, genetic factors linked to the host could play an important role in the response to the Ebola virus. The aim of this study is to provide a better overall understanding of Ebola virus infection and its clinical, virological, and immunological consequences, of cured people and their contacts; strengthen multidisciplinary monitoring of patients after an acute phase of EVD. The results will therefore have a direct impact on the clinical management of this population and on the prevention of possible secondary contamination in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This Phase 2 study aims to improve preparedness for future Ebola outbreaks by vaccination of a well-known population at risk, ie, a cohort of health care providers (HCP) (such as primary, emergency, and community health care workers) who may be exposed to Ebola in the event of a future outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This study will enhance the immunogenicity database by investigating the kinetics of the humoral immune response. The study will contribute to the safety database (serious adverse events) for VAC52150 following a heterologous vaccine regimen with Ad26.ZEBOV as first vaccine followed by second dose with MVA-BN-Filo administered 56 days later (Day 57). Additionally, after randomization (1:1), a booster vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV will be executed at 1 year post first dose or 2 years post first dose.
An open-label, single arm phase II study of the candidate Ebola Vaccine Ad26.ZEBOV/MVA-BN®-Filo
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of a heterologous 2-dose regimen utilizing Ad26.ZEBOV (first vaccination; Dose 1) and MVA-BN-Filo (second vaccination; Dose 2) administered intramuscularly (IM) on Days 1 and 57, respectively (Main Study) and also to provide the heterologous 2-dose vaccination regimen (Ad26.ZEBOV on Day 1 and MVABN-Filo on Day 57) to participants in the control arm of the main study (Extension Phase).
