Clinical Trial of Ebola Vaccines cAd3-EBO, cAd3-EBOZ and MVA-EbolaZ in Healthy Adults in Uganda

Summary

Phase Ib study in 90 healthy adults,18 years to 65 years of age, to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the VRC-EBOADC069-00-VP (cAd3-EBO) and VRC-EBOADC076-00-VP (cAd3-EBOZ) investigational Ebola vaccines in Part 1 and boosting with the VRC-EBOMVA079-00-VP (MVA-EbolaZ) investigational Ebola vaccine in Part 2. Part 1: Randomizations to cAd3-EBO or cAd3-EBOZ at two different dose levels within Group 1 will include at least 60 volunteers who have never received an investigational Ebola vaccine. Randomizations to cAd3-EBO at two different dose levels within Group 2 may include up to 30 eligible participants who previously participated in the RV247 vaccine clinical trial and received the investigational VRC-EBODNA023-00-VP (Ebola DNA WT) vaccine. Part 2: Participants in Part 1 may receive a booster vaccination with the MVA-EbolaZ vaccine at the same dose level.
