About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Dose-escalation, Open Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of the Recombinant Human Type 5 Adenovirus Vector Based Ebola Vaccine (Ad5-EBOV) in Healthy Adult Africans Aged Between 18-60 Years in China

This is a single center, open, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial. This study will determine the safety and side-effect profile, and immunogenicity of an investigational Ad5-EBOV vaccine in Healthy Adult Africans aged between 18-60 years in China.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, open, dose-escalation clinical trial. According to the Chinese guidelines for vaccine clinical trial, the sample size of a phase 1 clinical trial should be at least 20. In this study, a total of 60 participants will be included.30 participants will be firstly recruited and assigned to receive the low dose Ad5-EBOV. After the safety of the low dose vaccination is confirmed, another 30 participants will be recruited and assigned to receive the high dose Ad5-EBOV.

The whole follow-up period for each participant will be 28 days.
