A Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity, Safety and Tolerability of Ad26.ZEBOV and MVA-BN-Filo in Healthy Adult Participants

Phase 3

Completed

Conditions: Healthy

Interventions: Biological: Ad26.ZEBOV-Batch #1
Biological: Ad26.ZEBOV-Batch #2
Biological: Ad26.ZEBOV-Batch #3
Biological: Placebo
Biological: MVA-BN-Filo

Registration Number: NCT02543268

Lead Sponsor: Crucell Holland BV

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the humoral immune response induced by 3 different batches of Ad26.ZEBOV as measured by enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) against the Ebola virus (EBOV) GP (Glycoprotein) at 56 days post prime.

Detailed Description: This is a randomized, double - blind, placebo - controlled, parallel - group, multicenter, Phase 3 study to evaluate the immunogenic equivalence of a heterologous prime - boost regimen using 3 different batches of Ad26.ZEBOV in healthy adult participants. The study consists of a screening period of up to 6 weeks, a vaccination period in which participants will be vaccinated at baseline (Day 1), followed by a boost vaccination on Day 57, and a post-vaccination phase until 6 months post-boost visit (Day 237). The participants will be randomized at baseline (on Day 1) in a 2:2:2:1 ratio to Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Inclusion Criteria

Healthy in the Investigator's clinical judgment on the basis of medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG) and vital signs performed at Screening
Healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at Screening
Before randomization, a woman must be either of childbearing potential and practicing (or intending to practice) a highly effective method of birth control consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for participants participating in clinical studies, beginning at least 28 days prior to vaccination OR not of childbearing potential: postmenopausal (greater than [>] 45 years of age with amenorrhea for at least 2 years or any age with amenorrhea for at least 6 months, and a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level >40 international unit per milliliter [IU/L]); permanently sterilized (for example, bilateral tubal occlusion [which includes tubal ligation procedures as consistent with local regulations], hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy); or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy
