About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Immune Responses of an Investigational Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral-Vectored Sudan Ebolavirus Vaccine in Healthy Adults

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Immune Responses of an Investigational Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenoviral-Vectored Sudan Ebolavirus Vaccine in Healthy Adults

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase II study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single dose of cAd3-Sudan Ebolavirus vaccine in healthy adults up to 70 years of age, in Uganda and Kenya. The study will enroll 125 eligible participants randomized 4:1 to receive the cAd3-Sudan Ebolavirus vaccine at 1.0 × 10^11 PU dose or placebo (0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution) at Day 1, intramuscularly in deltoid muscle. Participants will be screened for eligibility up to 28 days before enrollment. Enrollment will be staggered, starting with healthy adults 18 to 50 years of age (inclusive). Upon enrollment of minimum 25 younger adult participants (sentinel), the safety data up to 7 days post vaccination of these 25 sentinel participants will be reviewed by the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). Progression to enrollment of the older adults (>50 to 70 years of age) will be dependent on the unblinded review of the DSMB. Safety and immunogenicity will be assessed at Days 1, 8, 15, 29, 85, 169, and will conclude at the end of study visit on Day 366.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cAD3-Sudan Ebolavirus VaccineBiological

    The recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus Type 3-vectored Sudan Ebolavirus vaccine, (cAd3-EBO S) is composed of a cAd3 vector that expresses wild type glycoprotein (WT GP) from the Sudan Gulu ebolavirus strain.

  • PlaceboOther

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cAd3-Sudan Ebolavirus vaccine through the assessment of SAEs, solicited AEs, unsolicited AEs, AESI, MAAE, and AE

    Count and percentage of vaccinated participants who develop:

    • serious adverse events (SAEs),
    • solicited adverse events (AEs),
    • unsolicited AEs,
    • adverse event of special interest (AESI),
    • medically attended adverse events (MAAE),
    • AE at each intensity level.

    Estimand 1a (Primary): Count and percentage of vaccinated participants who would develop SAEs, solicited AEs, unsolicited AEs, AESI, MAAE, and AE at each intensity level will be evaluated with each treatment group. A treatment policy strategy is used for assessing safety irrespective of a current (or prior) infection at time of the vaccination. Infections and death (if they meet the AE and time window criteria) are included in the endpoint (composite strategy).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the antibody response (IgG) to cAd3-EBO S vaccine at Day 29 post-vaccination.

    Secondary Endpoint: GMC of anti-Sudan Ebolavirus-GP binding IgG antibodies at Day 29 post-vaccination. Estimand 2a: geometric mean concentration (GMC) of the vaccine group will be compared to placebo at Day 29 post-vaccination. The hypothetical strategy is used to estimate antibody levels without subsequent Sudan Ebolavirus (SUDV) infection or influence from immune-modifying drugs or non-study vaccines. The principal stratum strategy excludes those with active or prior SUDV infection at the time of the vaccination.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cAD3-Sudan Ebolavirus Vaccine in people with Ebola Sudan Virus Disease, run by Albert B. Sabin Vaccine Institute at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 36 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Kenya, Uganda. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of cAd3-Sudan Ebolavirus vaccine through the assessment of SAEs, solicited AEs, unsolicited AEs, AESI, MAAE, and AE (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2026.
