Oxford begins first human trial of Bundibugyo Ebola vaccine

By GhanaSummary Newsroom

The early-stage trial, known as BD-Ebov, will evaluate the safety and immune response of the ChAdOx1 BDBV vaccine in 50 healthy adults aged 18 to 55 ​in Oxford, the university said on Monday.

If the early-stage trial is successful, CEPI said it would work with Oxford and Serum Institute to ⁠support ​late-stage studies needed to seek emergency-use authorisation ​or full regulatory approval.

The vaccine was developed by scientists at Oxford's ​Vaccine Group and Pandemic Sciences Institute using the same viral vector platform ​as the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 shot.
