Summary

In this study 30 healthy adult participants will receive a single dose of an Ebola vaccine. Blood samples, fine needle aspirates, core biopsies, and bone marrow aspirates will be collected prior to and following vaccination to assess immune responses in the blood, lymph nodes, and bone marrow over multiple time points.

Conditions

  • Ebola Virus Disease

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Recombinant Vesicular Stomatitis Vaccine for Ebola (rVSV∆G-ZEBOV-GP)

The study vaccine is an FDA-approved recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) expressing the envelope glycoprotein of Ebola virus Zaire (rVSV∆G-ZEBOV-GP). The dose of rVSV∆G-ZEBOV-GP vaccine has been chosen for this study as per package insert recommendations and based on clinical data. Participants receive 1.0 milliliter (mL) of the study vaccine administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm.

OTHER

Deuterium Labeled Water

An Emory Investigational Drug Service pharmacist will prepare sterile 50 ml aliquots of D2O with a tamper seal and stored at room temperature. Participants will be asked to drink a pre-measured volume of water three times a day and on days according to their assigned group schedule.
