简要总结
The 2014 outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is the largest in recorded history with widespread and intense transmission in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The high infectivity of blood and secretions, lack of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and challenges in following infection control and prevention protocols put healthcare workers at high risk during outbreaks, and direct contact with the bodies of deceased Ebola victims can also sustain community transmission. This study will accelerate introduction and use of monovalent recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus Ebola vaccine (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV) among healthcare workers and frontline personnel involved in the Ebola outbreak response in Sierra Leone, while concurrently evaluating the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
This is an unblinded, randomized trial with phased vaccine introduction in the target population. Participation in the study will be voluntary and open to adults 18 years of age and older who are at high risk of exposure to Ebola infection through their daily work and who work in a selected study area.
详细描述
The Ebola outbreak was confirmed in March 2014 with widespread and intense transmission in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. While there are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved pharmaceuticals to prevent or treat Ebola, two candidate vaccines are being tested in humans for dosing, tolerability, and safety. This study will evaluate monovalent recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus Ebola vaccine that remains replication competent (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV) in Sierra Leone.
The high infectivity of blood and secretions, lack of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and challenges in following infection control and prevention protocols put healthcare workers at high risk during outbreaks, and direct contact with the bodies of deceased Ebola victims can also sustain community transmission.
This unblinded, randomized trial will evaluate vaccine efficacy (VE) and safety with phased vaccine introduction in the target population. Participation in the study will be voluntary and open to adults 18 years of age and older who are at high risk of exposure to Ebola infection through their daily work and who work in a selected study area. This includes: 1) personnel working in healthcare facilities where care is provided for Ebola patients; 2) personnel working in non-Ebola healthcare facilities who may have exposure to undiagnosed Ebola-infected individuals; and 3) personnel working in one of the following job categories: surveillance team, ambulance team, or laboratory worker responsible for swabbing deceased persons. Staff members involved in this study are also eligible to receive the vaccine under this protocol; study staff will be followed for 6 months post-vaccination to monitor for safety of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV.
Eligible participants within a healthcare facility or frontline team will be enrolled and individually randomized to either immediate or deferred vaccination. A single dose of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV will be administered intramuscularly. Immediate vaccination is defined as vaccination within 7 days of enrollment and deferred vaccination is defined as vaccination at the end of an 18-24 week follow-up period. Participants will not be blinded to the randomized assignment of immediate or deferred vaccination. All enrolled participants will have the opportunity to receive rVSVΔG-ZEBOV by the end of the study. Enrollment and vaccination will be phased over time.
Ebola events that occur during the 18-24 week post-enrollment will be included in the VE analysis, with the immediate vaccination arm contributing vaccinated follow-up time and the deferred vaccination arm contributing unvaccinated follow-up time. All participants, regardless of randomized assignment, will be followed for 6 months after vaccination to monitor for safety of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV.

rVSVΔG-ZEBOV (deferred vaccination)
One intramuscular (deltoid) injection of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV (2 x 10^7 plaque forming units) in participants randomized to receive deferred vaccination (18-24 weeks after enrollment).

结局指标
主要结局
Laboratory-confirmed Ebola (Study Diagnostics)
时间窗: > 21 days following vaccination
Incidence of Ebola confirmed by the STRIVE study laboratory in each treatment group during the Randomized Portion of the trial. For the vaccine efficacy endpoint, all enrolled participants in both arms were followed for 18-24 weeks after enrollment (after which point participants in the deferred cohort received crossover vaccination). Statistical analysis was to proceed as survival analysis (time-to-event/time-to-infection) of cohort follow-up data during this period. There were no laboratory-confirmed cases of Ebola among study participants, so therefore no efficacy analyses were performed.
Number of Participants With Occurrence of Serious Adverse Events During the 6 Months Following the Vaccination
时间窗: 6 months following vaccination
Number of Participants with Occurrence of SAEs within the 6-month follow-up period following a single dose of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV. Vaccination in the immediate group occurred within 7 days of enrollment if possible, and vaccination in the deferred-vaccination group occurred 18-24 weeks after enrollment.
