Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, infectivity, and immunogenicity of two doses of the HPIV3/ΔHNF/EbovZ GP vaccine candidate when administered intranasally in healthy adults.

The objective of this Phase 1 safety study is to provide access to the potential therapeutic benefit of EBOV convalescent plasma containing antibodies to EBOV. The risk of exposure to plasma from donors who may be infected with other transfusion-transmitted pathogens, not detectable by current licensed donor testing procedures, will be mitigated by using pathogen inactivation to minimize the risk of the TTI from these donors, who would otherwise be deferred and ineligible for blood donation.

This is a phase 1, single-center, placebo-controlled, single-blind, first-in-human, single-ascending dose study with additional multiple-ascending dose cohorts in healthy male and female volunteers.

This study aims to evaluate favipiravir high dose tolerance in male survivor of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) with Ebola Virus (EBOV) RNA in semen. This is a dose escalation study with 3 cohorts of 6 patients, each dose level including 2 sentinel patients.

Phase 1, single-center, placebo-controlled, single-blind, first-in-human, single ascending dose (SAD) study followed by a multiple-dose cohort in healthy male and female subjects.

This community-based mixed methods study intends to identify, explore, and assess the determinants of community preparedness for outbreak situations, including acceptance for Ebola vaccines.

Background: Some people have Ebola virus in their body for months after they recover from Ebola virus disease. Some may have health problems from the virus while others are fine. These people may be able to pass the virus to others. There are currently no drugs for people who have survived Ebola virus disease but still have the virus in their body. A new drug, GS-5734, might help get rid of Ebola virus in semen. Objective: To test if GS-5734 helps get rid of Ebola virus in semen and is safe for humans. Eligibility: Men who participated in the Ebola survivor study (PREVAIL III) and have evidence of the Ebola virus in their semen Design: Participants will be screened with: Questions Physical exam Eye exam Blood tests 2 semen samples if they have not had it tested recently Participants must live near the study site in Liberia for 6 months. Participants will be put into 1 of 2 study groups. They will have an infusion of either GS-5734 or a placebo every day for 5 days. A plastic tube is put into an arm vein. The infusion lasts 1 hour. Participants will be observed for 1 hour after. They will provide a semen sample on infusion day 4. After the infusions, participants will have 5 visits in the first month, then 1 per month for 5 more months. These include giving a blood and semen sample. Blood tests are performed before and after each infusion and the last visit (5 month visit) will also include an eye exam. When the study is over, if the study drug works and is safe, participants who got the placebo can get the study drug.

Background: Ebola virus can cause serious illness or death. No medicines are approved to treat it. Researchers need to test new medicines to see if they help people recover from Ebola and are safe to give. They need to test the drugs and compare them in a controlled way. Researchers want to test 4 drugs with people who have Ebola and are in treatment centers. Objective: To study the safety and effectiveness of 4 drugs for people with Ebola virus. Eligibility: People of any age with Ebola infection who are in treatment centers Design: Participants will be screened with questions, medical history, and blood tests. Participants will be randomly assigned to get 1 of 3 study drugs: ZMapp by IV over about 4 hours. It will be given 3 times, 3 days apart. Remdesivir by IV over about 1 hour. It will be given once a day for 10 days. Mab114 by IV for 30-60 minutes. It will be given 1 time. REGN-EB3 by IV for about 2 hours. It will be given 1 time. For at least a week, participants will stay in isolation in a clinic. They will: Get supportive care and be monitored Have a small plastic tube (IV) put in an arm vein for several days to give fluids and collect blood. Get their study drug. Be monitored for disease signs and drug side effects. They may get medicines for side effects. Have blood and urine tests. Participants will stay in the clinic until they finish the study drug and are well enough to leave. Participants will have 2 follow-up visits over 2 months. They will answer questions and give blood and semen samples. ...

This study will test the safety of an experimental vaccine developed to protect against Ebola virus infection and to determine if the vaccine induces an immune response to the virus. The Ebola virus causes a disease called Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Symptoms begin with fever and muscle aches and progress to breathing problems, severe bleeding, kidney problems, and shock. The infection may be mild, but it can also lead to death. The vaccine used in this study is made from small parts of Ebola genetic material. It cannot cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever to develop in those who receive it. Healthy volunteers 18 to 44 years of age may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, and complete an "assessment of understanding" questionnaire to show that they understand the study. Depending on their order of entry into the study, participants are assigned to receive one of three vaccine doses or placebo. The first group receives the lowest dose (2 milligram) of vaccine or placebo. If this dose is safe, then the second group receives 4 mg, and if this dose is safe, the third group receives 8 mg. Injections are given in a muscle in the upper arm. Participants receive three injections, each 4 weeks apart (on study days 0, 28, and 56). Participants record their temperature and symptoms in a diary card for 7 days following each injection. They return to the clinic 2 to 3 days after each injection and then 2 weeks after each injection until study week 10. Additional follow-up visits are then scheduled at weeks 12, 24, 38, and 52. At each visit, participants provide a blood and urine sample for testing and have their vital signs, and lymph nodes checked, their weight measured, and their symptoms reviewed. Additional laboratory tests may be requested between visits.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 3 vaccination schedules of Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo administered intramuscularly (IM) as 2-dose heterologous regimens.
