Cohort 1
Subjects who received an Ebola vaccine prime vaccination in EBOVAC-Salone are eligible for enrolment in this study. Adults are defined as participants 18 years of age or older at the time of prime vaccination, and children are defined as participants aged 1 to 17 years at the time of prime vaccination in EBOVAC-Salone.
|
Other: Follow-up
No investigational vaccine will be administered during this study Other: Blood sample collection Blood sampling to assess vaccine-induced immune responses will be conducted only in cohort 1 in a subsample consisting of approximately 102 adults and 165 children (55 from each of the three paediatric age groups that were enrolled in EBOVAC-Salone: 12-17 year olds, 4-11 year olds, and 1-3 year olds). |
Cohort 2 (offspring)
Infants conceived by a female participant in EBOVAC-Salone during the 3 months following vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV or during the 28 days following vaccination with MVA-BN®-Filo.

Other: Follow-up
No investigational vaccine will be administered during this study |
- Number of Serious Adverse Events in subjects who received an Ebola vaccine prime vaccination in the EBOVAC-Salone trial. [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years in adults and 4 years in children from prime vaccination ]An SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
- Binding antibody responses against EBOV GP using Filovirus Animal Non-Clinical Group (FANG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years in adults and 4 years in children from prime vaccination ]Serum Concentration of Antibodies Binding to EBOV GP measured by Filovirus Animal Non-Clinical Group (FANG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
- Number of Serious Adverse Events, in infants conceived by an EBOVAC-Salone trial female participant during the 3-month period following vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV or during the 28 day period following vaccination with MVA-BN®-Filo. [ Time Frame: From birth to their fifth birthday ]An SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
- Neutralising antibody responses directed against EBOV GP as measured by a pseudovirion neutralisation assay (psVNA) [ Time Frame: At years 2, 3 and 4 post-prime in children and years 3, 4 and 5 post-prime in adults ]psVNA: pseudovirion neutralising antibody reactivity against the EBOV GP defined as the serum titre that is able to inhibit viral infection by 50% (IC50 titer).
- Effect of previous infection with malaria, determined using validated ELISA and bead based assays, on the persistence of the humoral immune response to vaccination. [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years in adults and 4 years in children from prime vaccination ]Serum concentration of malaria specific antibodies, determined using validated ELISA and bead based assays. The bead based assays will allow the inclusion of antigens associated with short term humoral immune responses and thus assessment of intra study exposure to malaria.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 1 Year and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
The study will be open to subjects who were exposed to Ad26.ZEBOV and/or MVA-BN®-Filo in the EBOVAC-Salone study.
The study population will consist of two cohorts:
- Cohort 1: subjects who received an Ebola vaccine prime vaccination in EBOVAC-Salone are eligible for enrolment in this study. Adults are defined as participants 18 years of age or older at the time of prime vaccination, and children are defined as participants aged 1 to 17 years at the time of prime vaccination.
- Cohort 2 (offspring) will consist of infants conceived by a female participant in EBOVAC-Salone during the 3 months following vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV or during the 28 days following vaccination with MVA-BN®-Filo.
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Must be a participant, or former participant, of the EBOVAC-Salone study, and received Ebola vaccine prime vaccination.
or Must be an infant conceived by a female participant of EBOVAC-Salone during the 3-month period following vaccination with Ad26.ZEBOV or the 28 day period following vaccination with MVA-BN®-Filo.
- Must consent to participate in the EBOVAC-Salone Extension study by signing (or thumbprinting, if illiterate) an ICF, indicating that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study. If a potential participant cannot read or write, the procedures must be explained and informed consent must be witnessed by a literate third party not involved in the conduct of the study. If the potential participant is under 18 years of age, they and their parent/guardian will be informed about the study and the parent/guardian will be asked to give consent. Children aged 7 years and older will be asked to give positive assent for their participation in the study and the assent procedure must be witnessed by an adult, literate parent/guardian/third party not involved in the conduct of the study, and documented.
- Must confirm that he/she will return to the study site for each yearly visit.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants in the EBOVAC-Salone study who were allocated to the control arm receiving the WHO-prequalified Meningococcal Group A, C, W135 and Y conjugate vaccine
- Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are unlikely to adhere to the requirements of the study, or unlikely to complete follow up
