Abstrakt: Background: This double-blind study assessed immunogenicity, lot consistency, and safety of recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-Zaire Ebola virus envelope glycoprotein vaccine (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP).
Methods: Healthy adults (N = 1197) were randomized 2:2:2:2:1 to receive 1 of 3 consistency lots of rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP (2 × 107 plaque-forming units [pfu]), high-dose 1 × 108 pfu, or placebo. Antibody responses pre-/postvaccination (28 days, 6 months; in a subset [n = 566], months 12, 18, and 24) were measured. post hoc analysis of risk factors associated with arthritis following vaccination was performed.
Results: ZEBOV-GP enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) increased postvaccination in all rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP groups by 28 days (>58-fold) and persisted through 24 months. The 3 manufacturing lots demonstrated equivalent immunogenicity at 28 days. Neutralizing antibody GMTs increased by 28 days in all rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP groups, peaking at 18 months with no decrease through 24 months. At 28 days, ≥94% of vaccine recipients seroresponded (ZEBOV-GP ELISA, ≥2-fold increase, titer ≥200 EU/mL), with responses persisting at 24 months in ≥91%. Female sex and a history of arthritis were identified as potential risk factors for the development of arthritis postvaccination.
Conclusions: Immune responses to rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP persisted to 24 months. Immunogenicity and safety results support continued rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP development.
