Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Study Products Description:
VRC-EBOADC069-00-VP (cAd3-EBO) is composed of two recombinant cAd3 vectors in a 1:1 ratio that express Ebola WT GPs from Zaire and Sudan strains. It is formulated at 2x10(11) particle units (PU)/mL.
VRC-EBOADC076-00-VP (cAd3-EBOZ) is composed of a cAd3 vector that expresses Ebola WT GP from the Zaire strain. It is formulated at 1x10(11) PU/mL.
VRC-DILADC065-00-VP (diluent) is the vaccine formulation buffer and will be used when needed to prepare the correct dosage of cAd3-EBO or cAd3-EBOZ.
VRC-EBOMVA079-00-VP (MVA-EbolaZ) is composed of a MVA vector that expresses Ebola WT GP from the Zaire strain. It is formulated at 3.2x10(8) PFU/mL.
Part 1 Study Plan:
Group 1: 60 volunteers will be randomized: 15 in each of the two dosage groups for VRC-EBOADC069-00-VP \[2x10(10) PU or 2x10(11) PU\] and 15 in each of the two dosage groups for VRC-EBOADC076-00-VP \[1x10(10) PU or 1x10(11) PU\].
Group 2: up to 30 volunteers that previously participated in the RV 247 clinical trial who received the investigational product VRC-EBODNA023-00-VP will be randomized to receive one of the two dosage groups for VRC-EBOADC069-00-VP.
The two groups will be enrolled simultaneously. If less then 30 participants enroll into Group 2, additional participants may be enrolled into Group 1 for a total of 90 participants overall. Participants will be evaluated by 9 clinic visits over 48 weeks.
Part 2 Study Plan:
Part 1 participants who received a study vaccination and have completed at least 36 weeks of follow-up, who are eligible and consent may receive a booster injection with the VRC-EBOMVA079-00-VP vaccine at 1x10(8) particle forming units (PFU). Participants will be evaluated by 11 clinic visits over 48 weeks after beginning Part 2.
