Who may be able to join
- Provide written informed consent before initiation of any study procedures.
- Are able to understand and comply with planned study procedures and be available for all study visits/phone calls.
- Males or non-pregnant females ages 18-45, inclusive.
- Subject must have a body mass index (BMI) > / = 18.5 and < 35 kg/m^2.
- Are in good health.
- As determined by medical history and physical examination to evaluate acute or currently ongoing chronic medical diagnoses or conditions, defined as those that have been present for at least 90 days which would affect the assessment of the safety of subjects or the immunogenicity of study vaccinations. Chronic medical diagnoses or conditions should be stable for the last 60 days (no hospitalizations, ER or urgent care for condition and no adverse symptoms that need medical intervention such as medication change/supplemental oxygen). This includes no change in chronic prescription medication, dose, or frequency as a result of deterioration of the chronic medical diagnosis or condition in the 60 days prior to enrollment. Any prescription change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company, etc., or that is done for financial reasons, as long as in the same class of medication, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Any change in prescription medication due to improvement of a disease outcome, as determined by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Subjects may be on chronic or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to subject safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity and do not indicate a worsening of medical diagnosis or condition. Similarly, medication changes subsequent to enrollment and study vaccination are acceptable provided there was no deterioration in the subject's chronic medical condition that necessitated a medication change, and there is no additional risk to the subject or interference with the evaluation of responses to study vaccination. Note: Topical, nasal, and inhaled medications (apart from steroids as outlined in the Subject Exclusion Criteria), herbals, vitamins, and supplements are permitted.

About this study
Official title: A Systems Biology Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of Chimpanzee Adenovirus Type 3- Vectored Zaire Ebolavirus (ChAd3-EBO-Z) and Modified Vaccinia Ankara- Vectored Multivalent Filovirus (MVA-BN(R)-Filo) Vaccine Candidates
This initial, proof of concept study will focus on identifying significant differences in response to the Ebolavirus Zaire vaccine (ChAd3-EBO-Z) when administered with placebo, MVA-BN(R)-Filo, or ChAd3-EBO-Z boosters after 8 days. All 60 participants will receive the ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine and then randomized into each booster group (20 receiving each type of booster). Subjects will be followed-up for 6 months to monitor for safety outcomes and efficacy measures. There is no formal hypothesis for this study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of study products by study group when administered IM to healthy adults.
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind trial of 60 evaluable males and non-pregnant females, 18-45 years old, inclusive, who are in good health, meet all eligibility criteria, and do not meet any exclusion criteria. This trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of an Ebolavirus Zaire (ChAd3-EBO-Z) vaccine for the prevention of Ebola. ChAd3-EBO-Z will be administered intramuscularly into the deltoid of all participants on Day 1. On Day 8, subjects will receive either placebo, ChAd3-EBO-Z , or MVA- BN(R)-Filo boosters, administered intramuscularly into the deltoid of the arm opposite their first vaccination, based on study group. There will be 20 subjects in each group. Subjects will be monitored for 6 months after vaccination to assess safety and efficacy for ChA3d-EBO-Z with homologous and heterologous boosting. Differences between the homologous and heterologous arm represent potential points for further, more in depth assessment to determine if there is a correlation with efficacy. Long term goals include comparing results from this study with results from naturally infected individuals as well as non-human primate (NHP) vaccination/challenge studies. There is no formal hypothesis for this study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of study products by study group when administered IM to healthy adults. The secondary study objective is to assess the antibody response to Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) glycoprotein (GP) by study group.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This initial, proof of concept study will focus on identifying significant differences in response to the Ebolavirus Zaire vaccine (ChAd3-EBO-Z) when administered with placebo, MVA-BN(R)-Filo, or ChAd3-EBO-Z boosters after 8 days. All 60 participants will receive the ChAd3-EBO-Z vaccine and then randomized into each booster group (20 receiving each type of booster). Subjects will be followed-up for 6 months to monitor for safety outcomes and efficacy measures. There is no formal hypothesis for this study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of study products by study group when administered IM to healthy adults.
Detailed description
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind trial of 60 evaluable males and non-pregnant females, 18-45 years old, inclusive, who are in good health, meet all eligibility criteria, and do not meet any exclusion criteria. This trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of an Ebolavirus Zaire (ChAd3-EBO-Z) vaccine for the prevention of Ebola. ChAd3-EBO-Z will be administered intramuscularly into the deltoid of all participants on Day 1. On Day 8, subjects will receive either placebo, ChAd3-EBO-Z , or MVA- BN(R)-Filo boosters, administered intramuscularly into the deltoid of the arm opposite their first vaccination, based on study group. There will be 20 subjects in each group. Subjects will be monitored for 6 months after vaccination to assess safety and efficacy for ChA3d-EBO-Z with homologous and heterologous boosting. Differences between the homologous and heterologous arm represent potential points for further, more in depth assessment to determine if there is a correlation with efficacy. Long term goals include comparing results from this study with results from naturally infected individuals as well as non-human primate (NHP) vaccination/challenge studies. There is no formal hypothesis for this study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of study products by study group when administered IM to healthy adults. The secondary study objective is to assess the antibody response to Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) glycoprotein (GP) by study group.

Number of Participants by Severity of Solicited Systemic Reactogenicity
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 15
Systemic reactogenicity solicited on memory aid included feverishness (chills/shivering/sweating), malaise (general unwell feeling), fatigue (tiredness), myalgia (body aches/muscular pain not at injection site), headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and elevated oral temperature. Thresholds for severity include feverishness, malaise, fatigue, myalgia, nausea, and loss of appetite: Noticeable but does not interfere with daily activity (Mild), Interferes with daily activity (Moderate), Significant interference, prevents daily activity (Severe); headache: Noticeable but does not interfere with daily activity (Mild), Any use of pain reliever or interferes with daily activity (Moderate), Significant interference, prevents daily activity, or requires any use of a prescription medication (Severe); elevated oral temperature: 37.8°C - 38.4°C or 100.00°F - 101.1°F (Mild), 38.5°C - 38.9°C or 101.2°F - 102.0°F (Moderate), >38.9°C or >102.0°F (Severe).
Number of Participants by Severity of Vaccine-related Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
Time frame: Day 1 to approximately 28 Days Post Second Vaccination
Vaccine-related unsolicited AEs include any untoward medical occurrence in a participant for which there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the study product and the adverse event. Thresholds for severity include events require minimal or no treatment and do not interfere with the subject's daily activities (mild), events result in a low level of inconvenience or concern with therapeutic measures and may cause some interference with functioning and daily activities (moderate), and events interrupt the subject's daily activities and may require systemic drug therapy or other treatment and are usually incapacitating (severe). Participants are counted once per preferred term and are summarized according to their highest severity. No severe events were reported.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing ChAd3-EBO-Z and MVA Multi-Filo Ebola Vaccine in people with Ebola Disease and Immunisation, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.
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 26 inclusion and 46 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 29 Jul 2025. 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 United States. 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 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.
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 2 Jun 2021). 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 Clinical Safety Laboratory Adverse Events (time frame: Day 1 to approximately 28 Days Post Second Vaccination). The study lists 26 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 29 Jul 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
