IQR: Interquartile range = 75% confidence intervals, Part.: Participants.

aParticipants receiving the 2nd vaccination in the protocol-defined window of 57 ± 1 day.

bParticipants receiving the 2nd vaccination in the protocol-defined window of 57 ± 3 days.

cParticipants receiving the 2nd vaccination in the protocol-defined window of 57 ± 1 week.

dRefers to the number of participants with antibody concentration above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), expressed as n/N (%) where n is the number of participants with a concentration above the LLOQ (i.e., 36.11 EU/mL for Battelle lab, 26.22 EU/mL for Focus lab and 36.11 EU/mL for Q2 Solutions lab) at that timepoint and N is the total number of participants with data at the first and the second vaccination and at that time point.

eRefers only to 43 participants enrolled in a substudy to receive a third dose (Ad26.ZEBOV) 2 years after the first vaccination.

fRefers to participants enrolled in EBL 2002 having an additional timepoint, initially scheduled for participants who do not receive a second vaccination because of a study pause.
