This study will determine if an experimental vaccine to prevent Ebola virus infection is safe
and what side effects, if any, it causes. Ebola virus infection may range from mild to
severe, and may cause breathing problems, severe bleeding, kidney problems and shock that can
lead to death. The vaccine used in this study contains man-made genetic material similar to
one part of the Ebola virus, which is designed to stimulate an immune response to the virus.
The vaccine itself cannot cause Ebola virus infection because it does not contain any Ebola
virus.
Participants are assigned to one of three groups as they enter into the study. Of the first
16 people in the study, 12 receive the lowest study dose of vaccine and 4 receive placebo (an
inactive substance). If this dose is safe, then of the next 16 people who enter the study, 12
receive a higher dose of the vaccine, and the remaining 4 receive placebo. If this dose is
safe, the final 12 people in the last group of 16 receive the highest study dose, and 4
receive placebo. The vaccine is given as a single injection in the arm on the day of
enrollment.
Participants keep a diary for 5 days, recording their temperature, symptoms and any reaction
at the injection site. They call a study nurse the day after vaccination to report how they
feel, and they return to the clinic approximately six times for follow-up evaluations. These
visits may include a check of vital signs, physical examination, blood and urine tests, or
other medical tests if needed.

- INCLUSION CRITERIA: A subject must meet all of the following criteria: 1. 18 to 50 years old. 2. Available for clinical follow-up through Week 48. 3. Able to provide proof of identity to the satisfaction of the study clinician completing the enrollment process. 4. Complete an AoU prior to enrollment and verbalize understanding of all questions answered incorrectly. 5. Able and willing to complete the informed consent process. 6. Willing to donate blood for sample storage to be used for future research. 7. In good general health without clinically significant medical history. 8. Physical examination and laboratory results without clinically significant findings and a body mass index (BMI) less than 40 within the 28 days prior to enrollment. Laboratory Criteria within 28 days prior to enrollment: 9. Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 11.5 g/dL for women; greater than or equal to 13.5 g/dL for men 10. White blood cells (WBC) equal to 3,300-12,000 cells/mm(3) 11. Differential either within institutional normal range or accompanied by site physician approval 12. Total lymphocyte count greater than or equal to 800 cells/mm(3) 13. Platelets equal to 125,000 - 400,000/mm(3) 14. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 1.25 upper limit of normal 15. Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1 x upper limits of normal (less than or equal to 1.3 mg/dL for females; less than or equal to 1.4 mg/dL for males) 16. Normal urinalysis defined as negative glucose, negative or trace protein and no clinically significant blood in the urine. 17. Negative FDA-approved HIV blood test, at low risk of HIV exposure as assessed by behavioral risk interview, and amenable to HIV risk reduction counseling. [Note: Results of HIV ELISA will be documented, but a negative HIV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result will be sufficient for eligibility screening of subjects with positive HIV ELISA that is due to prior participation in an HIV vaccine study] 18. Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) 19. Negative anti-HCV and negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) PCR. 20. a PTT within institutional normal range and PT less than or equal to upper limit of institutional normal range. Female-Specific Criteria: 21. Negative beta-HCG pregnancy test (urine or serum) for women presumed to be of reproductive potential. 22. A female participant must meet one of the following criteria: - No reproductive potential because of menopause [one year without menses] or because of a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation, OR - Participant agrees to be heterosexually inactive at least 21 days prior to enrollment and through Week 24 of the study, OR - Participant agrees to consistently practice contraception at least 21 days prior to enrollment and through Week 24 of the study by one of the following methods: - condoms, male or female, with or without a spermicide - diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide - intrauterine device - contraceptive pills or patch, Norplant, Depo-Provera or any other FDA-approved contraceptive method - male partner has previously undergone a vasectomy. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: A subject will be excluded if one or more of the following conditions apply. Women: 1. Breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the first 24 weeks after enrollment. Subject has received any of the following substances: 2. Ebola vaccines or any recombinant adenoviral vector vaccine in a prior clinical trial. 3. Immunosuppressive medications, cytotoxic medications, inhaled corticosteroids, or long-acting beta-agonists within the past six months. [Note: that use of corticosteroid nasal spray for allergic rhinitis, topical corticosteroids for an acute uncomplicated dermatitis, or short-acting beta-agonists in controlled asthmatics are not excluded.] 4. Blood products within 120 days prior to HIV screening 5. Immunoglobulin within 60 days prior to HIV screening 6. Live attenuated vaccines within 30 days prior to initial study vaccine administration 7. Investigational research agents within 30 days prior to initial study vaccine administration 8. Medically indicated subunit or killed vaccines, e.g. influenza, pneumococcal, or allergy treatment with antigen injections, within 14 days of study vaccine administration 9. Current anti-tuberculosis prophylaxis or therapy Subject has a history of any of the following clinically significant conditions: 10. Serious adverse reactions to vaccines such as anaphylaxis, urticaria (hives), respiratory difficulty, angioedema, or abdominal pain 11. Idiopathic urticaria within the past 2 years 12. Autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency 13. Asthma that is unstable or required emergent care, urgent care, hospitalization or intubation during the past two years or that requires the use of oral or parenteral corticosteroids. 14. Diabetes mellitus (type I or II), with the exception of gestational diabetes. 15. History of thyroidectomy or thyroid disease that required medication within the past 12 months. 16. A history of hereditary angioedema (HAE), acquired angioedema (AAE), or idiopathic forms of angioedema. 17. Hypertension that is not well controlled by medication or blood pressure that is more than 145/95 at enrollment. 18. Bleeding disorder diagnosed by a doctor (e.g. factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder requiring special precautions), significant bruising or bleeding difficulties with IM injections or blood draws, or use of anticoagulant medications. 19. Malignancy that is active or treated malignancy for which there is not reasonable assurance of sustained cure or malignancy that is likely to recur during the period of the study. 20. Seizure disorder other than: 1) febrile seizures under the age of two, 2) seizures secondary to alcohol withdrawal more than 3 years ago, or 3) a singular seizure not requiring treatment within the last 3 years. 21.
