EBOVAC2: Getting up to date

The EBOVAC2 project is one of twelve projects funded under the IMI Ebola+ program that was launched in response to the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa in 2014-2016. Through several clinical trials conducted in Europe and Africa, the EBOVAC1, EBOVAC2 and EBOVAC3 projects will assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of different schedules of a vaccination regimen against Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

How? To expedite the development of a candidate heterologous two-dose prophylactic vaccination regimen against EVD, several clinical studies have been carried out in parallel and are coordinated by separate teams: EBOVAC1 (Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 large scale safety and immunogenicity studies), EBOVAC2 (Phase 2 studies) and EBOVAC3 (Phase 2 and 3 studies).

What? In the Phase 2 studies of EBOVAC2, a heterologous two-dose vaccination regimen of Ad26.ZEBOV developed by Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V., part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson as the first dose, and MVA-BN®-Filo, developed by Bavarian Nordic and licensed to Janssen, as the second dose. The first dose is intended to elicit an initial immune response. The second dose is designed to stimulate the level of the body’s immune response further.

Who? The EBOVAC2 consortium brings together industry and academic stakeholders: Janssen, as the regulatory sponsor and project lead, the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) as coordinator, and the University of Oxford (UOXF), London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Centre MURAZ (CM) and Inserm Transfert (IT) as members.
