A Phase 1 randomized trial of homologous and heterologous filovirus vaccines with a late booster dose.

ABSTRACT: Filoviruses, including Ebola, Marburg, Sudan, and Taï Forest viruses, are zoonotic pathogens that can cause severe viral hemorrhagic fever and death. Developing vaccines that provide durable, broad immunity against multiple filoviruses is a high global health priority. In this Phase 1 trial, we enrolled 60 healthy U.S. adults and evaluated the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of homologous and heterologous MVA-BN®-Filo and Ad26.ZEBOV prime-boost schedules followed in select arms by MVA-BN®-Filo boost at 1 year (NCT02891980). We found that all vaccine regimens had acceptable safety and reactogenicity. The heterologous prime-boost strategy elicited superior Ebola binding and neutralizing antibody, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and cellular responses compared to ho
