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.

TREAT INTERACT: Implementing a user involved education- and health system interactive task-shifting approach for child mental health promotion in Uganda
REFNo: HS3144ES

Based on findings from objectives 1-2, develop implementation advice to guide policymakers in school-based child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) management, integration with the health system, and how to implement and sustain large-scale evidence-informed CAMH interventions to contribute towards achieving universal mental health coverage. ,Develop, implement and evaluate an intersectoral supervision, referral and communication model between the health and education sector.,Implement the adapted module-based TREATment mhGAP school program and investigate effective implementation strategies and client outcomes.,Intervention mapping to adapt the mhGAP-IG to a primary school setting, and implementation mapping to develop implementation strategies with user involvement,The main objective of the TREAT INTERACT study is to adapt, implement and evaluate the impact of an adapted school version of the mhGAP-IG that aims to prevent, identify, refer and treat mental health problems in children and adolescents in Uganda through a user involved task-shifting implementation of the mhGAP-IG among primary school staff. This work is divided into 4 work Packages (WPs); each of the specific objectives below represents a single work package.,
