Filter by:RV 508 was a Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study to examine the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of an investigational Ebola vaccine in healthy adults. VRC-EBOADC086-00-VP, a chimpanzee adenovirus serotype 3 vector-based Ebola vaccine, encodes wild type (WT) glycoprotein (GP) from the Sudan strain of Ebolavirus and is administered intramuscularly (IM).
Background: Ebola virus can cause serious illness or death. No medicines are approved to treat it. Researchers need to test new medicines to see if they help people recover from Ebola and are safe to give. They need to test the drugs and compare them in a controlled way. Researchers want to test 4 drugs with people who have Ebola and are in treatment centers. Objective: To study the safety and effectiveness of 4 drugs for people with Ebola virus. Eligibility: People of any age with Ebola infection who are in treatment centers Design: Participants will be screened with questions, medical history, and blood tests. Participants will be randomly assigned to get 1 of 3 study drugs: - ZMapp by IV over about 4 hours. It will be given 3 times, 3 days apart. - Remdesivir by IV over about 1 hour. It will be given once a day for 10 days. - Mab114 by IV for 30-60 minutes. It will be given 1 time. - REGN-EB3 by IV for about 2 hours. It will be given 1 time. For at least a week, participants will stay in isolation in a clinic. They will: - Get supportive care and be monitored - Have a small plastic tube (IV) put in an arm vein for several days to give fluids and collect blood. - Get their study drug. - Be monitored for disease signs and drug side effects. They may get medicines for side effects. - Have blood and urine tests. Participants will stay in the clinic until they finish the study drug and are well enough to leave. Participants will have 2 follow-up visits over 2 months. They will answer questions and give blood and semen samples. ...
Background: - Ebola virus disease (EVD) affects many people in Liberia and other countries in West Africa. It is caused by the Ebola virus and makes people sick with fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and bleeding. About half the people with EVD die. There is no approved treatment for it. Researchers are studying two Ebola vaccines. The vaccines do not cause Ebola. Objectives: - To study the safety and efficacy of two Ebola vaccines. Eligibility: - Adults 18 and older who live in Liberia and are at risk for Ebola infection but have never had Ebola. Design: - Participants will give information including birthdate, gender, occupation, and location of home. They will give contact information for themselves and 2 alternate contacts. They will give a history of their contact with people with Ebola. Some participants may have a physical. They may have blood taken. - Participants will be injected with either an Ebola vaccine or a placebo with a needle in the upper arm. The placebo is a salt solution. - Participants will have blood taken. - Participants will be watched for 30 minutes. - Participants will return to the clinic 1 week and 1 month after they get the shot. They will have blood taken. - After that, participants will be contacted monthly to discuss how they are feeling. They may be contacted by phone, may visit the clinic, or may have a home visit. - The study ends 8-12 months after participants get the shot. If one of the vaccines works against Ebola and does not have many side effects, participants can get the vaccine if they did not get it in the study.
Ebola virus has infected and killed people, mostly in Africa. In 2014, the Ebola virus has affected several thousand people. There is no approved effective way to treat or prevent Ebola. Researchers are trying to develop a vaccine for it. This is a study of the anti-Ebola vaccine BPSC-1001 to see if it is safe and to see how it affects people's immune system.
This is a study of the anti-Ebola vaccine vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) ZEBOV (Zaire ebolavirus) also known as V920 and BPSC-1001. The purpose of this study is to test how safe the vaccine is in humans and how well it makes the human immune system cause an immune- or defense-response to Ebola virus. This vaccine will be studied at different doses.
