NCT02543567

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of a heterologous prime-boost regimen using Ad26.ZEBOV as prime and MVA-BN-Filo as boost administered at different doses at a 56-day interval versus the same regimen with the recently released batches of Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo in terms of humoral immune response against the Ebola virus (EBOV) GP (glycoprotein) as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 21 days post boost.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Immune Responses to the Study Vaccine Regimens against Ebola virus (EBOV) Glycoprotein (GP) using EBOV GP protein Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

    The humoral immune response will be assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) binding antibody

    At 21 days post boost vaccination

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Immune Responses to the Study Vaccine Regimens against Ebola virus (EBOV) Glycoprotein (GP) using EBOV GP protein Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

    At Days 1, 29, 57 post prime dose and at days 42, and 180 post boost vaccination

  • Number of Participants with Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events (AEs)

    Up to 7 days after each vaccination

  • Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    Up to 42 days post boost vaccination

  • Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Continuous throughout the duration of study (Up to Day 237)
