Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two heterologous and two homologous prime-boost regimens using MVA-BN(R)-Filo and Ad26.ZEBOV administered in different sequences at Days 1 and 29 in healthy adult subjects aged 18 - 45 years. The study will evaluate the 'omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics), antibodies for immunogenicity, CMI, ADCC, and plasmablast responses to MVA-BN(R)-Filo and Ad26.ZEBOV vaccines. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) To assess the safety and reactogenicity of each study group. 2) To assess responses to the study vaccination by study group after the first, second and third dose by transcriptomics. 3) To assess the peak antibody response to the study vaccination by study group to filovirus antigens.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two heterologous and two homologous prime-boost regimens using MVA-BN(R)-Filo and Ad26.ZEBOV administered in different sequences at Days 1 and 29 in healthy adult subjects aged 18 - 45 years. The two heterologous prime-boost groups will also receive MVA-BN(R)-Filo at day 366. Sixty subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to one of four study groups (15 per group). Subjects and study staff will be blinded to a subject's study vaccine assignment within study vaccination schedule (e.g., enrollment into Group 1 or 4 versus 2 or 3 will be known). The study will evaluate the 'omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics), antibodies for immunogenicity, CMI, ADCC, and plasmablast responses to MVA-BN(R)-Filo and Ad26.ZEBOV vaccines. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) To assess the safety and reactogenicity of each study group. 2) To assess responses to the study vaccination by study group after the first, second and third dose by transcriptomics. 3) To assess the peak antibody response to the study vaccination by study group to filovirus antigens. Secondary objectives are: 1) To assess antigen-specific cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses to the study vaccination by study group. 2) To assess antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses to the study vaccination by study group.

ST-elevation consistent with ischemia or evidence of past or evolving myocardial infarction. 18. History of diabetes mellitus type 1 or type 2*, including cases controlled with diet alone. Note: A history of isolated gestational diabetes is not an exclusion criterion. 19. Thyroidectomy or thyroid disease requiring medication during the last 12 months. 20. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure > / = 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > / = 90 mmHg.* Note: Vital signs must be normal by protocol toxicity grading scale or determined to be normal-variant by investigator. In the event of an abnormal heart rate or blood pressure due to physiological variation or activity, the subject may rest for 10 minutes in a quiet room, and then blood pressure and/or heart rate may be re-measured. Repeated vital signs may be used to determine eligibility. 21. Received a licensed live vaccine within 30 days prior to enrollment in this study, or plans to receive a licensed live vaccine within 30 days before or after each study vaccine. 22. Received a licensed inactivated vaccine within 14 days prior to enrollment in this study, or plans to receive a licensed inactivated vaccine within 14 days before or after each study vaccine. 23. Use of experimental therapeutic agents within 3 months from the start of screening. 24. Current or planned participation in another clinical study during the study period.* Note: Participation in an observational clinical study is allowed. 25. Receipt of blood products or immunoglobulin in the past 3 months. 26. Donation of a unit of blood within 8 weeks before Day 1 or plans to donate blood during participation in the study (from the start of screening onwards). 27. Major psychiatric illness during the past 12 months that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation. 28. Current or past abuse of recreational or narcotic drugs.* Note: Urine will be tested only at screening to check for use of amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cocaine, and opioids. 29. Current or past alcohol use judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with subject study adherence. 30. History of chronic urticaria (recurrent hives). 31. Chronic or recurrent use of medications which modify host immune response (e.g., cancer chemotherapeutic agents, parenteral corticosteroids).* Note: This is defined as greater than 2 weeks duration within three months prior to vaccination or current use of immunosuppressive medication: a. Permissible use during study include: corticosteroid nasal sprays for allergic rhinitis and low dose inhaled corticosteroids defined as < 800 mcg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate CFC or equivalent. b. Topical steroid for mild uncomplicated dermatitis such as poison ivy or contact dermatitis should be completed before study. c. Oral/parenteral corticosteroids given for non-chronic conditions not expected to recur are permissible if the length of therapy was < / = 14 days with completion at least 30 days prior to enrollment. 32. Subject who cannot communicate reliably with the investigator. 33. Subject who, in the opinion of the investigator, is unlikely to adhere to the requirements of the study. 34. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with assessing the study objectives. 35. Personnel involved in the study*. Note: This includes the Principal Investigator (PI), sub-Investigators listed in Form FDA 1572 or Investigator of Record Form, all staff who are paid entirely or partially by/through the OCRR contract for the trial, and staff who are supervised by the PI or sub-Investigators.
