About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity Study of GSK Biologicals' Investigational Recombinant Chimpanzee Adenovirus Type 3-vectored Ebola Zaire Vaccine (GSK3390107A) in Adults in Africa

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine administered to approximately 3 000 adults in Africa as a single IM dose Considering the risk of exposure to Ebola and the potential (based on animal data) for the investigational ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine to afford at least partial protection, all subjects in the study will receive the investigational ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine. The subjects in the Group EBO-Z will receive the vaccine at Day 0 of the study, whereas the subjects in the Group Placebo/ EBO-Z will receive a placebo at Day 0 (as a control) and will receive the investigational ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine at Month 6, provided that no safety concerns are raised. In addition, vaccinating all subjects in the study with the investigational ChAd3 EBO Z vaccine will allow an increase of the safety database of the investigational vaccine. In case the geographic range of Ebola virus Zaire (EBOV) transmission expands to encompass any of the regions where this trial is conducted, earlier administration of the investigational ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine to the subjects in the Group Placebo/ EBO-Z will be considered in that region.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' investigational recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus Type 3-vectored Ebola Zaire vaccine (ChAd3-EBO-Z) (GSK3390107A) in people with Virus Diseases, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 5 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Cameroon, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Adverse Events (time frame: During the 7-Day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period). The study lists 21 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02485301, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jan 2018.
