A Phase 1/2 interventional study of GamEvac-Lyo (component A) and Placebo in Healthy Volunteers, sponsored by Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Health Ministry of the Russian Federation. Completed at 1 site in Russian Federation. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-11-14.
Sponsored by Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, Health Ministry of the Russian Federation · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of medicinal product GamEvac-Lyo- Vector-Based Vaccine against Ebola Virus Disease
This clinical trial is designed as a double blind randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate immunogenicity of medicinal product GamEvac-Lyo- Vector-Based Vaccine against Ebola Virus Disease The study will consist of two stages. At the first stage in this research is planned to study the safety and tolerability of one dose of component A and B combined vaccine vector against Ebola in 20 healthy volunteers: 10 for component A and 10 to component B. In the first stage, the placebo will not be used. The duration of screening up to 10 days.
Volunteers at the first stage will receive the drug 1 time on the first day of the study. On the third day of the study (48 hours after administration of the vaccine) they will be discharged from the hospital. There will also be 1 outpatient visit on day 7 after drug administration.
After interim analysis of safety data is subject to the consent of the local ethics Committee of the Research Centre about the possibility of further studies of the drug - will be started the second phase of the study, which, along with continued security research, provides the definition of the parameters of immunogenicity of the study drug. The second phase of the study will included 200 participants, including 150 people will receive the study drug and 50 will be a control group of observation - that is, will get a placebo.
Study Schedule Visit 0 (outpatient): screening Visit 1 (inpatient): Immunization with component A/placebo (observation at the hospital for 48 hours). Local adverse reactions will be monitored during the entire observation period; on the day of immunization - local and systemic reactions should be recorded 20 minutes, 5 and 8 hours after the vaccine administration. Later, in-hospital local and systemic adverse reactions to the product will be documented during physical examinations twice a day (morning and evening) and also prior the subjects are discharged from the hospital. Adverse events will be then recorded in the "Daily Diaries" kept by the subjects during the outpatient stage.
Visit 2: Day 7 after the first vaccine administration - outpatient setting. Visit 3 (inpatient) (Day 21) Immunization with component B/placebo (observation at the hospital for 48 hours): Local adverse reactions will be monitored during the entire observation period; on the day of immunization - local and systemic reactions should be recorded 20 minutes, 5 and 8 hours after the vaccine administration. Later, in-hospital local and systemic adverse reactions to will be documented during physical examinations twice a day (morning and evening) and also before the subjects are discharged from the hospital. Adverse events will be recorded in the "Daily Diaries" kept by the subjects during the outpatient stage.
Visits #4, 5, 6 - will be held in outpatient settings on Days 28 , 42 and 90 after the vaccine administration.

Exclusion Criteria:
volunteer involvement in another study over the last 90 days
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
