Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Numbers and odds of vaccination status in Ebola Virus Diseases cases and in EVD-negative controls.
Test negative case control study of 110 laboratory confirmed EVD cases matched to controls who test negative for EVD. Effectiveness is derived from the odds ratio for vaccination in cases compared to controls to calculate vaccine effectiveness.
Through study completion, an average of 2 years.
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Number and proportion of adults and children with solicited and unsolicited serious adverse events.
From date of first vaccination to the one month post-dose 2 assessment of the last vaccinated participant.
Number and proportion of adults and children receiving dose 1.
From date of first vaccination up to month 12.
Number and proportion of adults and children receiving dose 2.
From date of first vaccination up to month 12.
Number of participants participating in in-depth interviews and focus group discussions
Through to study completion at month 24.
Other Outcomes (1)
Samples collected for immunogenicity subset at 2 time points
From date of dose 2 through to 21 days post-dose 2.
Study Arms (1)
Intervention arm
EXPERIMENTALThe vaccine Ad26.ZEBOV (5x10\^10 viral particles (vp)) will be given as the first dose and the vaccine MVA-BN-Filo (1x10\^8 infectious units (Inf U)) will be given as the second dose 56 (-14 day +28 day) days later.
Interventions
Ad26.ZEBOV: a monovalent vaccine expressing the full-length glycoprotein (GP) from Ebola virus (EBOV) Mayinga. The vaccine is produced in the human cell line PER.C6®. MVA-mBN226B: further referred to as Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-BN®-Filo. This is a multivalent vaccine expressing the EBOV GP, the Sudan virus (SUDV) GP, the Marburg virus (MARV) Musoke GP, and the Taï Forest virus (TAFV, formerly known as Côte d'Ivoire ebolavirus) nucleoprotein (NP). The EBOV GP expressed by MVA BN Filo has 100% homology with the one expressed by Ad26.ZEBOV.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Must provide a written or witnessed (if illiterate) informed consent form indicating that he or she understands the reasons for the study and is willing to participate in the study and be vaccinated. If less than 18 years old, must have a parent or guardian that is able to meet this criterion.
- Must be aged 1 year or older.
- Must be healthy in the investigator's clinical judgment as assessed on the day of vaccination.
- Must be willing to have a photograph taken.
- Participant must be available and willing to participate for duration of study visits and follow up.
You may not qualify if:
- Known history of Ebola virus disease.
- Has received any experimental Ebola vaccine less than one month prior to Visit 1.
- Known allergy or history of anaphylaxis or other serious adverse reactions to vaccines or vaccine products, egg and egg proteins or gentamicin.
- Presence of acute illness (excluding minor illnesses such as mild diarrhea or mild upper respiratory tract infection) or temperature ≥38.0ºC at Visit 1 (dose 1 visit). Participants with such symptoms will be temporarily excluded from vaccination at that time but may be rescheduled for vaccination at a later date if feasible.
- Presence of significant conditions or clinically significant findings at the vaccination visit for which, in the opinion of the investigator, vaccination would not be in the best interest of the participant.
- History of recurrent generalized hives.
