About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Observer-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Different Prime-boost Regimens of the Candidate Prophylactic Vaccines for Ebola Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo in Healthy Adults, Including Elderly Subjects, HIV-infected Subjects, and Healthy Children in Two Age Strata in Africa
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of three heterologous prime-boost regimens for Ebola vaccines Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo. The study will include healthy adults and elderly participants, HIV infected participants and healthy children in 2 age strata.
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, Phase 2 study evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 3 heterologous prime-boost regimens using Ad26.ZEBOV as prime and MVA-BN-Filo as boost vaccination, administered at 28-, 56- and 84-day (Group 1, 2 and 3 as above) intervals, in healthy adults and elderly participants. A 28- and 56-day (Groups 1 and 2, as above) schedule will be evaluated in HIV-infected participants and in healthy children in 2 age strata. The study consists of a screening phase of up to 8 weeks, a vaccination phase in which participants will be vaccinated at baseline (Day 1) followed by a boost vaccination on Day 29, 57 or 85, a post-vaccination phase and long-term follow-up phase until Day 365. Participants in Cohort 1 substudy (Group 1 and 2) who received Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo (at selected sites) will receive Ad26.ZEBOV as third vaccination and who received placebo will receive placebo as third vaccination (at least 1 year post prime vaccination). All participants within a cohort will be followed in a blinded manner by the site until the last subject in that cohort has completed the study. This study will be conducted in Africa and the enrollment will take place sequentially in three cohorts: the first cohort will consist of healthy participants (18 - 70 years); the second cohort (2a) will include HIV-infected participants (18 to 50 years) and healthy children 12 to 17 years (cohort 2b); the third cohort will include children aged 4 to 11 years inclusive will be enrolled. Within each cohort, participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to receive active vaccine versus placebo. Safety evaluations will include assessments of adverse events, an electrocardiogram (ECG) for adult participants at screening, physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse/heart rate, body temperature), clinical laboratory and pregnancy testing. An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will be established to monitor data on a regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the participants enrolled in the study.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of three heterologous prime-boost regimens for Ebola vaccines Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo. The study will include healthy adults and elderly participants, HIV infected participants and healthy children in 2 age strata.
Detailed description
This is a randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, Phase 2 study evaluating the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 3 heterologous prime-boost regimens using Ad26.ZEBOV as prime and MVA-BN-Filo as boost vaccination, administered at 28-, 56- and 84-day (Group 1, 2 and 3 as above) intervals, in healthy adults and elderly participants. A 28- and 56-day (Groups 1 and 2, as above) schedule will be evaluated in HIV-infected participants and in healthy children in 2 age strata. The study consists of a screening phase of up to 8 weeks, a vaccination phase in which participants will be vaccinated at baseline (Day 1) followed by a boost vaccination on Day 29, 57 or 85, a post-vaccination phase and long-term follow-up phase until Day 365. Participants in Cohort 1 substudy (Group 1 and 2) who received Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo (at selected sites) will receive Ad26.ZEBOV as third vaccination and who received placebo will receive placebo as third vaccination (at least 1 year post prime vaccination). All participants within a cohort will be followed in a blinded manner by the site until the last subject in that cohort has completed the study. This study will be conducted in Africa and the enrollment will take place sequentially in three cohorts: the first cohort will consist of healthy participants (18 - 70 years); the second cohort (2a) will include HIV-infected participants (18 to 50 years) and healthy children 12 to 17 years (cohort 2b); the third cohort will include children aged 4 to 11 years inclusive will be enrolled. Within each cohort, participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to receive active vaccine versus placebo. Safety evaluations will include assessments of adverse events, an electrocardiogram (ECG) for adult participants at screening, physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure, pulse/heart rate, body temperature), clinical laboratory and pregnancy testing. An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will be established to monitor data on a regular basis to ensure the continuing safety of the participants enrolled in the study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo in people with Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola, run by Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V. at 7 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 11 inclusion and 6 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 7 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda, Kenya. 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. 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 7 Mar 2022). 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 Participants With Adverse Events (Day 29) (time frame: Up to 28 days post-dose 1 (Day 29)). The study lists 17 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 NCT02564523, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 7 Mar 2022.
