Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Healthy adult male or females, =18 years of age, with an upper limitation of <50
years.

2. Willing and able to give informed consent prior to study enrollment,

3. Able to comply with study requirements, and

4. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to
each vaccination, and will be advised through the Informed Consent process to avoid
becoming pregnant over the duration of the study, and must assert that they will
employ an effective form of birth control for the duration of the study. Acceptable
forms of birth control are: credible history of continuous abstinence from
heterosexual activity or prior surgical sterilization, hormonal contraceptives (oral,
injectable, implant, patch, ring), barrier contraceptives (condom or diaphragm), and
intrauterine device (IUD). Women with an adequately documented history of surgical
sterility are exempt from urine pregnancy testing.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
50 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
1. Any ongoing, symptomatic acute or chronic illness requiring medical or surgical care.

- Asymptomatic conditions or findings (e.g. mild hypertension, dyslipidemia) that
are not associated with evidence of end-organ damage are not exclusionary
provided that they are being appropriately managed and are clinically stable
(i.e., unlikely to result in symptomatic illness within the time-course of this
study) in the opinion of the investigator.

- Note that illnesses or conditions may be exclusionary, even if otherwise stable,
due to therapies used to treat them (see exclusion criteria 2, 5, 7, 8, 9).

2. Participation in research involving investigational product (drug/biologic/device)
within 45 days before planned date of first vaccination.

3. History of a serious reaction to prior vaccination.

4. Any occupational or other exposure to Ebolaviruses or recovery from past Ebolavirus
disease.

5. Received any vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding the study vaccination; or any Ebolavirus
vaccine at any time.

6. Any known or suspected immunosuppressive condition, acquired or congenital, as
determined by history and/or physical examination.

7. Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressants
or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months prior to the administration of the
study vaccine. An immunosuppressive dose of glucocorticoid will be defined as a
systemic dose =10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical and nasal
glucocorticoids will be permitted. Inhaled glucocorticoids =500µg per day of
beclamethasone or fluticasone, or 800µg per day of budesonide are exclusionary.

8. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months
preceding the administration of the study vaccine or during the study.

9. Acute disease at the time of enrollment (defined as the presence of a moderate or
severe illness with or without fever, or an oral temperature >38.0°C on the planned
day of vaccine administration).

10. Known disturbance of coagulation. The use of =325mg of aspirin per day as prophylaxis
is permitted, but use of other platelet aggregation inhibitors, thrombin inhibitors,
factor Xa inhibitors, or warfarin derivatives is exclusionary, regardless of bleeding
history, because these imply treatment or prophylaxis of known cardiac or vascular
disease.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled trial in male and female subjects
=18 to <50 years of age. Subjects will be healthy adults based on history, physical
examination, and baseline clinical laboratory testing.

Approximately 230 eligible subjects will be enrolled into 1 of 13 treatment groups.

Treatments will comprise two IM doses at a 21-day interval (Day 0 and Day 21), in alternate
deltoids with the test article assigned (i.e., saline placebo, dose of EBOV GP vaccine with
or without Matrix-M adjuvant), in a 0.5mL injection volume.
