Welcome to ebovac2

The EBOVAC2 project is one of 8 projects funded under IMI Ebola+ programme that was launched in response to the Ebola virus disease outbreak. The project aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel prime boost preventive vaccine regimen against Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

To expedite the development of the vaccine regimen, Phase 2 trials and a Phase 2B study will be carried out in parallel and therefore coordinated by two separate teams within EBOVAC1 (Phase 1 and Phase 2B large scale safety and immunogenicity study) and EBOVAC2 (Phase 2 trial) projects.

Between them, the EBOVAC projects will assess, through phase I and phase 2 trials in Europe and Africa, as well as a Phase 2B large scale safety and immunogenicity study, the safety and tolerability of the vaccine regimen in response to the urgent public health need raised by the Ebola epidemic.

    Based on final Phase 1 data published in JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, the prime-boost Ebola vaccine regimen induced an antibody response that persisted in 100 percent of healthy volunteers to at least 1 year following vaccination. The results are from the EBOVAC1 study EBL1001 conducted by the Oxford Vaccine Group in the UK.
