 SOLIDARITY TRIAL-A phase I/II Randomized Placebo controlled trial to evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Sudan Ebolavirus in Uganda
REFNo: HS3190ES

Phase I (rVSV-SUDV)
1. To determine the safety of rVSV-SUDV candidate SUDV vaccine among adult healthy volunteers in Uganda.
2. To determine the immunogenicity of rVSV-SUDV candidate SUDV vaccine.

Phase II (ChAdox1, CAd3 and rVSV-SUDV)
Primary objectives
1. To determine the safety of ChAdox1, CAd3 and rVSV-SUDV candidate SUDV vaccines among healthy volunteers and persons with stable comorbidities.
2. To determine the immunogenicity of ChAdox1, CAd3 and rVSV-SUDV candidate SUDV vaccines.
Secondary objectives
1. To determine the durability of SUDV-specific induced immune responses following vaccination.
2. To determine the factors associated with optimal vaccine-induced immune responses.
3. To determine the putative cross reactivity by the SUDV vaccine candidates against other ebolaviruses (e.g. Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BUDV) and EBOV).

Exploratory objectives
1. To determine the effect of SUDV vaccines on host gene expression.
2. To determine the T and B cell specific responses and immune profiling in response to vaccination.
3. To determine the effect of SUDV vaccines on the host metabolome.
4. To determine the effect of SUDV vaccines on host innate immune responses.
