About this study

Official title: A Double-blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Study of Safety and Immunogenicity of Medicinal Product GamEvac-Lyo, Vector-Based Vaccine Against Ebola Virus Disease, Lyophilisate for Preparation of Solution for Intramuscular Injection

The purpose of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of medicinal product GamEvac-Lyo- Vector-Based Vaccine against Ebola Virus Disease

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is designed as a double blind randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate immunogenicity of medicinal product GamEvac-Lyo- Vector-Based Vaccine against Ebola Virus Disease The study will consist of two stages. At the first stage in this research is planned to study the safety and tolerability of one dose of component A and B combined vaccine vector against Ebola in 20 healthy volunteers: 10 for component A and 10 to component B. In the first stage, the placebo will not be used. The duration of screening up to 10 days.

Volunteers at the first stage will receive the drug 1 time on the first day of the study. On the third day of the study (48 hours after administration of the vaccine) they will be discharged from the hospital. There will also be 1 outpatient visit on day 7 after drug administration.

After interim analysis of safety data is subject to the consent of the local ethics Committee of the Research Centre about the possibility of further studies of the drug - will be started the second phase of the study, which, along with continued security research, provides the definition of the parameters of immunogenicity of the study drug. The second phase of the study will included 200 participants, including 150 people will receive the study drug and 50 will be a control group of observation - that is, will get a placebo.

Study Schedule Visit 0 (outpatient): screening Visit 1 (inpatient): Immunization with component A/placebo (observation at the hospital for 48 hours). Local adverse reactions will be monitored during the entire observation period; on the day of immunization - local and systemic reactions should be recorded 20 minutes, 5 and 8 hours after the vaccine administration. Later, in-hospital local and systemic adverse reactions to the product will be documented during physical examinations twice a day (morning and evening) and also prior the subjects are discharged from the hospital. Adverse events will be then recorded in the "Daily Diaries" kept by the subjects during the outpatient stage.

Visit 2: Day 7 after the first vaccine administration - outpatient setting. Visit 3 (inpatient) (Day 21) Immunization with component B/placebo (observation at the hospital for 48 hours): Local adverse reactions will be monitored during the entire observation period; on the day of immunization - local and systemic reactions should be recorded 20 minutes, 5 and 8 hours after the vaccine administration. Later, in-hospital local and systemic adverse reactions to will be documented during physical examinations twice a day (morning and evening) and also before the subjects are discharged from the hospital. Adverse events will be recorded in the "Daily Diaries" kept by the subjects during the outpatient stage.

Visits #4, 5, 6 - will be held in outpatient settings on Days 28 , 42 and 90 after the vaccine administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing GamEvac-Lyo (component A), GamEvac-Lyo (component B) and GamEvac-Lyo in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Health Ministry of the Russian Federation at 1 site in Russia.

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 18 inclusion and 22 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 14 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Russia. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 (time frame: through the whole study, an average of 90 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Nov 2019.
