Inclusion criteria

For all participants:

  • In good general health or with stable chronic medical conditions, as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.

For participants 12 to 65 years of age:

  • within the range 18 to 39 kg/m2 (inclusive).
  • Female participants of may be enrolled in the study if not pregnant or breastfeeding, subject to other criteria specified in the study protocol.

For participants 1 to 11 years of age:

  • Female participants who have reached menarche may be enrolled in the study if not pregnant or breastfeeding, subject to other criteria specified in the study protocol.

For participants 1 to 4 years of age:

  • Participant was born born at ≥37 weeks gestation, with a minimum birth weight of 2.5 kg, without fetal growth restriction, and the participant's length and weight are both above the third percentile for age according to the WHO Child Growth Standard.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

For all participants:

  • History of anaphylaxis or severe reaction requiring medical intervention after receipt of any mRNA vaccine or therapeutic, or any components of an mRNA vaccine or therapeutic.
  • History of participation in a prior vaccine study for filovirus pathogens (including Ebola Zaire, Ebola Sudan, and Marburg).
  • History of confirmed or suspected filovirus exposure or infection or travel to an impacted area within 1 month prior to the Screening Visit (e.g. Ebola Zaire, Sudan, BDBV, and Marburg).
  • Other conditions that in the Investigator's opinion could interfere with interpretation of study results or limit the participant's participation in the study.
  • surface antigen (HBsAg) or virus (HCV) Abs positive at Screening.
  • infection, per local testing algorithm.
  • History of active tuberculosis requiring treatment in the past 3 years.
  • Acutely ill or febrile (temperature ≥38.0℃ [100.4°F]) within 72 hours prior to or at the Screening Visit or Day 1.
  • History of a diagnosis or condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, is clinically unstable, potentially affects participant safety, the assessment of study endpoints, the assessment of immune response, or adherence to study procedures.

For participants 12 to 65 years of age:

  • Abnormal Screening clinical laboratory values >Grade 1 for total white blood cell count, , , creatinine, or .
  • Known history of poorly controlled hypertension (per determination of the Investigator), or systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg at the Screening or Baseline (Day 1) visit.
  • Known history of hypotension or systolic blood pressure \<85 mmHg at the Screening or Baseline (Day 1) visit.

For participants 1 to 11 years of age:

  • Current or past diagnosis of epilepsy or seizure disorder, or any history of febrile seizure.
  • Participants who have recently received treatment for acute, uncomplicated malaria are eligible for participation if at least 3 days have elapsed from the conclusion treatment.

Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

BMI (body mass index)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Hypersensitivity

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.

Hepatitis B tests

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.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

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.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
