Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • In good general health or with stable chronic medical conditions, as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
  • Body mass index within the range 18.5 to 39 kg/m2 (inclusive).
  • Female participants of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study if not pregnant or breastfeeding, subject to other criteria specified in the study protocol.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity 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 pathogens causing Ebola virus disease.
  • 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.
  • Acutely ill or febrile (temperature ≥38.0℃ [100.4°F]) within 72 hours prior to or at the Screening Visit or Day 1.
  • Abnormal screening clinical laboratory values >Grade 1 for total white blood cell count, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, or platelets.
  • 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.

Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of Participants with Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions (ARs)
Time Frame: Up to Day 7 (the day of study intervention and 6 subsequent days)
Up to Day 7 (the day of study intervention and 6 subsequent days)
Number of Participants with Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to Day 28 (the day of study intervention and 27 subsequent days)
Up to Day 28 (the day of study intervention and 27 subsequent days)
Number of Participants with Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Day 169 (6 months follow-up after injection)
Up to Day 169 (6 months follow-up after injection)
Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Any AEs Leading to Discontinuation From Study Participation and/or Study Vaccination, and AEs of Special Interest (AESIs)
Time Frame: Up to End of Study (EOS) (Day 337)
Up to End of Study (EOS) (Day 337)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
