What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Binding Antibody Levels Against the Ebola Virus Glycoprotein (EBOV GP) as Measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) at 21 Days Post Vaccination 2

    Antibody GMCs against the EBOV GP as measured by ELISA at 21 days post Vaccination 2 were reported. GMCs of antibodies binding to EBOV GP using ELISA were reported and were measured in ELISA units per milliliter (EU/mL). Serum samples were collected for analysis of binding antibodies against EBOV GP using ELISA to determine humoral responses following vaccination. For ELISA binding antibody responses, values below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 36.11 EU/mL were imputed with half of the LLOQ prior to the computation of the GMCs.

    Measured: 21 Days Post Vaccination 2 (Day 78)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Binding Antibody Levels Against the Ebola Virus Glycoprotein (EBOV GP) as Measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) at 56 Days Post Vaccination 1

    Antibody GMCs against the EBOV GP as measured by ELISA at 56 days post Vaccination 1 were reported. GMCs of antibodies binding to EBOV GP using ELISA were reported and were measured in ELISA units per milliliter (EU/mL). Serum samples were collected for analysis of binding antibodies against EBOV GP using ELISA to determine humoral responses following vaccination. For ELISA binding antibody responses, values below the LLOQ of 36.11 EU/mL were imputed with half of the LLOQ prior to the computation of the GMCs.

    Measured: 56 Days Post Vaccination 1 (Day 57)

  2. Number of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) Until 7 Days After Vaccination 1 and 2

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Solicited local AEs were pre-defined local (at the injection site) AEs for which participants were specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their diary for 7 days post vaccination. Solicited local AEs were injection site pain/tenderness, erythema, induration/swelling, itching, pruritis at the vaccination site.

    Measured: Until 7 Days after Vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Up to Day 8); Until 7 Days after Vaccination 2 on Day 57 (Up to Day 64)

  3. Number of Participants With Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) Until 7 Days After Vaccination 1 and 2

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Participants recorded the temperature in the e-Diary in the evening of the day of vaccination, and then daily for the next 7 days approximately at the same time each day. If more than 1 measurement was made on any given day, the highest temperature of that day was recorded in the e-Diary. Fever was defined as endogenous elevation of body temperature greater than or equal to (>=) 38.0 degree Celsius or >=100.4-degree Fahrenheit, as recorded in at least 1 measurement. Participants also noted the signs and symptoms in the e-Diary on a daily basis for 7 days post vaccination 1 and 2 (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days), if feasible, for the following events: fatigue, headache, nausea, myalgia, arthralgia, chills, and fever.

    Measured: Until 7 Days after Vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Up to Day 8); Until 7 Days after Vaccination 2 on Day 57 (Up to Day 64)

  4. Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) Until 28 Days After Vaccination 1 and 2

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Unsolicited AEs were all AEs for which the participant was not specifically questioned in the participant diary.

    Measured: Until 28 Days After Vaccination 1 on Day 1 (Up to Day 29); until 28 days after Vaccination 2 on Day 57 (Up to Day 85)

  5. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may result in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 237 for Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and up to Day 537 for Groups 5 and 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo in people with Ebola, run by Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V. at 7 sites 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 25 May 2025. 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 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 17 May 2023). 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?

Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Binding Antibody Levels Against the Ebola Virus Glycoprotein (EBOV GP) as Measured by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) at 21 Days Post Vaccination 2 (time frame: 21 Days Post Vaccination 2 (Day 78)). 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 25 May 2025.
