Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola"

Ebola virus has infected and killed people, mostly in Africa. In 2014, the Zaire ebolavirus (ZEBOV) has affected several thousand people. There is no approved effective way to treat or prevent Ebola. Researchers are trying to develop a vaccine for it. This is a study of the anti-Ebola vaccine vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) ZEBOV (V920; BPSC-1001) to see if it is safe and to see how it affects people's immune system.

Ebola virus causes an infection known as Ebola virus disease (EVD). This is generally a severe disease which can also lead to death. The 2014 outbreak of EVD in West Africa is the largest ever. Researchers want to develop a vaccine to prevent Ebola infection. It is impossible for someone to get an Ebola infection from this vaccine.

This is an open label study to evaluate the safety and immune response to a booster dose of Ad26.ZEBOV Ebola vaccine in HIV+ adults from Kenya and Uganda. Only participants who have received the 2-dose Ebola vaccine regimen "Ad26.ZEBOV/MVA-BN-Filo " in the VAC52150EBL2002 vaccine trial about 4 years ago are eligible to take part. Approximately 50 healthy HIV+ adults, aged 18 - 50 years at the time of the parent trial, will be invited. Participants will first be asked to provide consent to participate in this study. Upon receiving the booster vaccination, participants will be followed up for approximately 28 days (+/- 3 days) to collect information on side effects and provide blood samples for antibody measurement. This study is designed to provide descriptive information regarding vaccine safety and immunogenicity. There is no formal treatment comparisons and no formal testing of statistical hypothesis.

Primary Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cAd3-EBO-S and cAd3 Marburg vaccines when administered Intramuscular (IM) at a dose of 1 x 10^11 particle units (PU) to healthy adults. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the antibody response to Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus Ebola-S (cAd3-EBO-S) and Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral Vectored Filovirus (Marburg) (cAd3 Marburg) vaccines as assessed by antigen glycoprotein (GP) specific (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) ELISA To collect sufficient post-vaccination plasma to support further development of filovirus assays

This Phase 2 study aims to improve preparedness for future Ebola outbreaks by vaccination of a well-known population at risk, ie, a cohort of health care providers (HCP) (such as primary, emergency, and community health care workers) who may be exposed to Ebola in the event of a future outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This study will enhance the immunogenicity database by investigating the kinetics of the humoral immune response. The study will contribute to the safety database (serious adverse events) for VAC52150 following a heterologous vaccine regimen with Ad26.ZEBOV as first vaccine followed by second dose with MVA-BN-Filo administered 56 days later (Day 57). Additionally, after randomization (1:1), a booster vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV will be executed at 1 year post first dose or 2 years post first dose.

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.

An open-label, non-randomised, dose escalation, first-in-human, single centre, phase I clinical trial to determine the safety and immunogenicity of a bivalent ChAdOx1 vectored vaccine against Zaire and Sudan Ebola virus species in healthy adult volunteers.

The study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of 3 consistency lots and a high-dose lot of rVSV-ZEBOV-GP (V920 Ebola Vaccine) in healthy adults. The primary purpose of this study was to demonstrate consistency in the immune responses of participants receiving 3 separate lots of V920 through 28 days postvaccination. In addition to the 3 lot groups, a high-dose group and a placebo group were studied. A subset of participants representative of all treatment groups continued through 24 months postvaccination in the extension study for the evaluation of long-term safety. The primary hypothesis states that the geometric mean titer of anti-Zaire ebolavirus envelope (ZEBOV) glycoprotein antibody at 28 days postvaccination is equivalent across the three consistency lots.

This is a clinical trial in which healthy volunteers will be administered two experimental Ebola vaccines: ChAd3-EBO Z and MVA-EBO Z. Two groups of volunteers will be vaccinated with both vaccines one after the other in a prime/boost regimen. All ChAd3-EBO Z doses are 2.5 x 10^10 - 3.7 x 10^10 vp and all MVA-EBO Z doses are 1.0 x 10^8 pfu. All volunteers will receive a ChAd3-EBO Z priming vaccine and a MVA-EBO Z boosting vaccine 7 days later. The site of administration of the MVA-EBO Z vaccine differs between the two groups: Group 1 will receive the MVA-EBO Z vaccine in the same arm as the ChAd3-EBO Z vaccine. Group 2 will receive the MVA-EBO Z vaccine in the opposite arm from the ChAd3-EBO Z vaccine. The study will assess the safety of the vaccinations, and the immune responses to vaccination. Immune responses are measured by tests on blood samples. The ChAd3-EBO Z and MVA-EBO Z vaccines are called viral vectored vaccines. They are made from viruses which are modified so that they cannot multiply. The viruses have extra DNA in them so that after injection, the body makes Ebola proteins (but Ebola does not develop), so that the immune system builds a response to Ebola without having been infected by it. Healthy volunteers will be recruited in Dakar, Senegal. The study will be funded by GSK.

Phase Ib study in 90 healthy adults,18 years to 65 years of age, to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the VRC-EBOADC069-00-VP (cAd3-EBO) and VRC-EBOADC076-00-VP (cAd3-EBOZ) investigational Ebola vaccines in Part 1 and boosting with the VRC-EBOMVA079-00-VP (MVA-EbolaZ) investigational Ebola vaccine in Part 2. Part 1: Randomizations to cAd3-EBO or cAd3-EBOZ at two different dose levels within Group 1 will include at least 60 volunteers who have never received an investigational Ebola vaccine. Randomizations to cAd3-EBO at two different dose levels within Group 2 may include up to 30 eligible participants who previously participated in the RV247 vaccine clinical trial and received the investigational VRC-EBODNA023-00-VP (Ebola DNA WT) vaccine. Part 2: Participants in Part 1 may receive a booster vaccination with the MVA-EbolaZ vaccine at the same dose level.
