ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Shorter prophylactic vaccine schedules may offer more rapid protection against Ebola in resource-limited settings.METHODS:
This randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial conducted in five sub-Saharan African countries included people without HIV (PWOH, n = 249) and people living with HIV (PLWH, n = 250). Adult participants received one of two accelerated Ebola vaccine regimens (MVA-BN-Filo, Ad26.ZEBOV administered 14 days apart [n = 79] or Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo administered 28 days apart [n = 322]) or saline/placebo (n = 98). The primary endpoints were safety (adverse events [AEs]) and immunogenicity (Ebola virus [EBOV] glycoprotein-specific binding antibody responses). Binding antibody responders were defined as participants with a > 2.5-fold increase from baseline or the lower limit of quantification if negative at baseline.RESULTS:
The mean age was 33.4 years, 52% of participants were female, and among PLWH, the median (interquartile range) CD4+ cell count was 560.0 (418.0-752.0) cells/µL. AEs were generally mild/moderate with no vaccine-related serious AEs or remarkable safety profile differences by HIV status. At 21 days post-dose 2, EBOV glycoprotein-specific binding antibody response rates in vaccine recipients were 99% for the 14-day regimen (geometric mean concentrations [GMCs] 5168 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units (EU)/mL in PWOH; 2509 EU/mL in PLWH), and 98% for the 28-day regimen (GMCs 6037 EU/mL in PWOH; 2939 EU/mL in PLWH). At 12 months post-dose 2, GMCs in PWOH and PLWH were 635 and 514 EU/mL, respectively, for the 14-day regimen and 331 and 360 EU/mL, respectively, for the 28-day regimen.CONCLUSIONS:
Accelerated 14- and 28-day Ebola vaccine regimens were safe and immunogenic in PWOH and PLWH in Africa. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02598388.
