Objectives and endpoints

Objectives Endpoints
Primary
  • To assess binding antibody responses post dose 2 vaccination with MVA-BN-Filo.

  • Binding antibody levels against the EBOV GP using FANG ELISA at 21 days post dose 2 (day 78) vaccination with MVA-BN-Filo.

Secondary
  • To assess binding antibody responses after booster vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV given at 1 or 2 years after first dose.

  • Binding antibody levels against the EBOV GP using FANG ELISA at 7 days (excluding the day of vaccination) post booster.

  • To assess the safety of a heterologous vaccine regimen using Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo administered at a 56-day interval and a booster vaccine with Ad26.ZEBOV at 1 or 2 years post first dose.

  • Serious adverse events from first dose vaccination until 6 months post booster.

  • Solicited and unsolicited local and systemic adverse events until 7 days post booster vaccination (day of vaccination and subsequent 7 days) with Ad26.ZEBOV.

Exploratory
  • To assess binding antibody responses at different time points as indicated in the study time and events overview (figure 1).

  • Binding antibody levels against the EBOV GP using FANG ELISA at different time points as indicated in the study time and events overview (figure 1).

  • To assess neutralising antibody response directed against the adenovirus vector prior to vaccination.

  • Neutralising antibody levels against Ad26 using Ad26 VNA at the first visit.

  • To assess neutralising antibody response directed against the MVA vector prior to vaccination.

  • Neutralising antibody levels against MVA-BN-Filo using MVA PRNT assay at the first visit.

  • To assess seroprevalence of Ebola virus disease prior to vaccination.

  • Presence of pre-existing human anti-EBOV GP IgG and anti-EBOV NP IgG using LUMINEX assay.
