Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the MVA-SIBP vaccine using a double-blind, randomized, controlled, age de-escalation design conducted in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Detailed Description

Given the urgent need for pediatric data and the high burden of mpox in the DRC, this trial will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the MVA-SIBP vaccine using a double-blind, randomized, controlled, age de-escalation design conducted in Kinshasa, DRC. The trial is designed to generate critical data to support regulatory approval and broader access to affordable, stable, and scalable mpox vaccines for Africa.

Conditions

Monkeypox (Mpox)

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: PREVENTION
• Blinding Strategy: TRIPLE
