Brief Summary:
The study will be a two center, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study of the MVA MERS S_DF-1 candidate delivered by i.m. injection. To evaluate the MERS-S-specific antibody responses and safety profile induced by the two dosage levels of MVA-MERS-S_DF-1 the data will be compared to a placebo control group.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) Biological: MVA-MERS-S_DF1 - Low Dose Biological: MVA-MERS-S_DF1 - High Dose Other: Placebo Phase 1

Detailed Description:

This will be a Phase Ib, two-center study in approximately 160 healthy adults aged 18-55 years

The study is separated in two parts:

Part A:

The study starts with a single center open-label run-in phase of two dose levels (cohort 1 "low dose": 2x10^7 PFU, cohort 2 "high dose": 2x10^8 PFU) in 10 healthy subjects. 5 subjects will be allocated to each dose cohort and will receive immunization on day 0 and day 28.

Part B:

Two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study. This part is a double-blinded trial in approximately 150 healthy subjects. Subjects will be allocated to two different dose cohorts and a placebo cohort; each receiving three vaccine injections.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Low Dose
Vaccination with 2x10^7 PFU MVA-MERS-S_DF1. Vaccinations will be administered at days 0, 28 or 56, and 336.
 Biological: MVA-MERS-S_DF1 - Low Dose
Administrations of the low dose via the intramuscular route
Experimental: High Dose
Vaccination with 2x10^8 PFU MVA-MERS-S_DF1. Vaccinations will be administered at days 0, 28 or 56, and 336.
 Biological: MVA-MERS-S_DF1 - High Dose
Administrations of the high dose via the intramuscular route
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Injection with placebo. Injections will be administered at days 0, 28 or 56, and 336.
 Other: Placebo
Administrations of placebo via the intramuscular route


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Frequency of adverse events associated with MVA-MERS-S_DF-1. [ Time Frame: day 1, 14, 29, 42, 56, 84, 168, 336, 364 ]
    Safety and reactogenicity will be assesssed by observation, questionaire and diary. Changes from baseline for safety laboratory measures will be monitored. Occurence of SAE will be collected throughout the entire study duration.

  2. Frequency and severity of local injection site reactogenicity signs and symptoms [ Time Frame: day 1, 14, 29, 42, 84, 336 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Immunogenicity [ Time Frame: day 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 168, 336, 364 (dependent on vaccination scheme) ]
    Magnitude of MERS-S-specific antibody re-sponses (ELISA and neutralization assays) monitored in a centralized approved laboratory
