Clinical Trials associated with EBV gp350-Ferritin Vaccine(NIAID)A Phase 1/2 Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial Evaluating the Immunogenicity and Safety of an Adjuvanted Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Glycoprotein 350 Vaccine in EBV-Seronegative Persons
Background:
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes most cases of infectious mononucleosis (mono). Mono can cause fatigue that lasts more than 6 months, and some people can have severe complications. EBV infection may also contribute to some cancers and autoimmune diseases. Currently, there are no approved therapies or vaccines for EBV infection.
Objective:
To test a vaccine against EBV.
Eligibility:
Healthy people aged 18 to 25 years.
Design:
Participants will be screened in 2 parts. They will have a blood test. If that test shows they have never had an EBV infection, they will have a second clinic visit. They will have a physical exam, with blood and urine tests. A cotton swab will be rubbed on their gums to collect saliva.
Participants will receive 2 injections into a shoulder muscle. Some will receive the EBV vaccine. Others will receive a placebo; this contains harmless salt water with no vaccine. Participants will not know which one they are getting. The 2 injections will be 30 days apart.
Participants will be asked to record any side effects or symptoms they have between visits. They can do this on paper or online.
Participants will return for a follow-up visit 60 days after the first injection. They will have follow-up visits by phone or telehealth after 5 and 8 months. They will return for a physical exam after 13 months. They may come back for an optional physical exam after 2 years.
Participants will come to the clinic if they become ill with an EBV infection during the study.
Phase 1 Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) gp350- Ferritin Nanoparticle Vaccine in Healthy Adults With or Without EBV Infection
Background:
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes most cases of infectious mononucleosis (mono). Up to 1 in 10 people who get mono can have fatigue that lasts more than 6 months. One out of 100 people can have severe complications. EBV is also associated with several types of cancer. Researchers want to test an EBV vaccine.
Objective:
To test the safety of and immune response to a new vaccine against EBV.
Eligibility:
Healthy adults ages 18-29
Design:
Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will give a blood sample.
Screening tests will be repeated during the study.
Participants will get a dose of the study vaccine as an injection in a muscle in the upper arm. They will be observed for 30 to 60 minutes. Blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature will be checked. The injection site will be examined.
Participants will get a diary card. They will write down any side effects they have after the vaccine dose, or they may use an electronic diary card. Participants will be asked to write down or enter any important medical events that may occur at any time during the study.
Participants will get a vaccine dose at 2 more study visits. They will have 4 follow-up visits at different times after a vaccine dose.
Participants will have 6 telephone calls in between the in-person visits. They will also have 1 telephone call 1 year after the third dose of vaccine. If possible, this visit can occur in person.
Participation will last about 18 months. There is an optional in-person visit or telephone call 2 years after the third dose of vaccine.
