This is a Phase 2, open-label, study evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of the 2-dose vaccination regimen, Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo, in adults and children originally enrolled in the control arm of the EBOVAC-Salone study
A single arm, open-label, non-randomized, interventional phase 3 study to measure safety and effectiveness of a heterologous, two dose preventative vaccine (Ad26. ZEBOV, MVA-BN®-Filo) against Ebola Virus Disease.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-site, double-blind trial of V920 (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP) Ebola Virus vaccine candidate in subjects with HIV infection to be conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practices. The study will take place at 2 Canadian sites (Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal and Ottawa General Hospital) and 2 African sites (Centre MURAZ, Burkina Faso and Centre Hospitalier National Aristide Le Dantec, Dakar, Senegal). The Duration of Study: 365 days for each participant not including screening.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of three vaccine strategies that may prevent Ebola virus disease (EVD) events in children and adults. Participants will receive either the Ad26.ZEBOV (rHAd26) vaccine with a MVA-BN-Filo (MVA) boost, or the rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP (rVSV) vaccine with or without boosting, or placebo.
This is a clinical trial in which healthy volunteers will be administered experimental Ebola vaccines. The investigators will vaccinate four groups of volunteers. Group one will receive the MVA-EBO Z vaccine once at the dose of 1 x 10^8 pfu. Three groups will receive the prime vaccine cAd3-EBO Z followed by the boost vaccine, MVA EBO Z. The second group of volunteers will receive the boost vaccine after 14 +/-7 days at a dose of 1 x 10^8 pfu and the third and fourth group, after 28 +/- 7 days but at different concentrations of MVA-EBO Z (1 x 10^8 pfu for group 3 and 1.5 x 10^8 pfu for group 4). The study will assess the safety of the vaccinations, and the immune responses to vaccination. Immune responses are measured by tests on blood samples. The cAd3-EBO Z and MVA-EBO Z vaccines are called viral vectored vaccines. They are made from viruses which are modified so that they cannot multiply. The viruses have extra DNA in them so that after injection, the body makes Ebola proteins (but Ebola does not develop), so that the immune system builds a response to Ebola without having been infected by it. Healthy volunteers will be recruited in Oxford and London England. The study will be funded by the Wellcome Trust.
Previous Ebola outbreaks have been limited to individual countries and contained by infection control activities. The current outbreak in West Africa is international, and air travel has resulted in a number of infected travellers crossing national borders. There are currently no specific treatments generally available for Ebola and the mortality is high, particularly in countries with limited intensive care facilities. There is currently no vaccine and the personal protection required by healthcare workers treating patients is cumbersome and requires full compliance to be protective. There is now a consortium (VEBCON collaboration) of four clinical centres (in Kenya, Gabon, Switzerland and Germany), WHO and New Link Genetics (the vaccine manufacturer) under which this study will be conducted. The investigators are conducting this trial, a Phase I, open-label, dose escalation trial, designed to establish safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of two doses of VSVΔG-ZEBOV, an Ebola Virus Vaccine Candidate for the first time in sub-Saharan African populations. The investigators plan to vaccinate 40 volunteers in Kenya. The trial will be conducted at the KEMRI-CGMR Coast site where healthcare workers (both clinical and laboratory) will be the primary target population as they are likely to be the recipients of a protective vaccine. The investigators will vaccinate a cohort of 20 volunteers at a low dose and then vaccinate a further cohort of 20 volunteers at full dose. Each volunteer will receive one dose of the vaccine. The investigators will follow them up for a period of one year looking to their safety and immunogenicity endpoints.
