What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With One or More Unsolicited Non-Serious Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Through 28 days after study product administration
|
Unsolicited AEs and attribution assessments were recorded in the study database from receipt of the study product administration through the visit scheduled for 28 days after study product administration.
At other time periods greater than 28 days after the study product administration, only serious AEs (SAEs reported as a separate outcome and in the AE module), and new chronic medical conditions that required ongoing medical management were recorded through the last study visit.
The relationship between an AE and the study product was assessed by the investigator based on clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol.
A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.
|
Through 28 days after study product administration
|
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Through 48 weeks after study product administration
|
SAEs were recorded from receipt of the study product administration through the last expected study visit at Week 48.
The relationship between a SAE and the study product was assessed by the investigator based on clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol.
A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.
|
Through 48 weeks after study product administration
|
Number of Participants Reporting Local Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms for 7 Days After the cAd3-Marburg Vaccine Administration
Time Frame: 7 days after study product administration
|
Participants recorded the occurrence of solicited symptoms on a diary card for 7 days after the study product administration and reviewed the diary card with clinic staff at a follow up visit.
Participants were counted once for each symptom at the worst severity if they indicated experiencing the symptom more than one time at any severity during the reporting period.
The number reported for "Any Local Symptom" is the number of participants reporting any local symptom at the worst severity.
Reactogenicity grading (Mild, Moderate, Severe) was done using the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (FDA Guidance - September 2007).
|
7 days after study product administration
|
Number of Participants Reporting Systemic Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms for 7 Days After the cAd3-Marburg Vaccine Administration
Time Frame: 7 days after study product administration
|
Participants recorded the occurrence of solicited symptoms on a diary card for 7 days after the study product administration and reviewed the diary card with clinic staff at a follow up visit.
Participants were counted once for each symptom at the worst severity if they indicated experiencing the symptom more than one time at any severity during the reporting period.
The number reported for "Any Systemic Symptom" is the number of participants reporting any systemic symptom at the worst severity.
The majority of the reactogenicity grading (Mild, Moderate, Severe) was done using the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (FDA Guidance - September 2007).The Division of AIDS AE Grading Table Corrected (Version 2.1-July 2017) was used to grade reported events of joint pain (arthralgia).

|
7 days after study product administration
|
Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Measures of Safety
Time Frame: Through 48 weeks after study product administration
|
Any abnormal laboratory results recorded as unsolicited AEs are summarized.
Labs included hematology (hemoglobin, hemoglobin change from baseline, hematocrit percent, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelets, and white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC) and lymphocyte counts) and chemistry (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and creatinine).
Complete blood count (CBC) with total lymphocyte count results were collected at screening (≤ 56 days before enrollment), Day 0 prior to study product administration (baseline), Day 3, and Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 24.
Creatinine and ALT results were collected at screening, Day 0, Day 3 and Weeks 2, 4 and 8. Institutional laboratory normal ranges as well as the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventative Vaccine Clinical Trials FDA Guidance, September 2007 were used.

A positive response occurs if there is a significant increase in the ELISA post vaccination compared to baseline.
For each participant, a t-test was performed to compare the post vaccination titers versus those at baseline.
A participant is defined as a positive responder if the one-sided t-test has a p-value < 0.05.
