The first volunteer has been successfully vaccinated in the world's first clinical trial of a vaccine designed to protect against Bundibugyo ebolavirus, the University of Oxford announced on Friday.
The milestone marks the first time that the ChAdOx1 BDBV vaccine has been administered to humans.
The vaccine was developed by scientists at the university's Oxford Vaccine Group and Pandemic Sciences Institute.
The study team will continue recruiting and vaccinating volunteers over the coming weeks, while monitoring participants to assess the vaccine's safety and the immune responses it generates.
Researchers said the vaccine candidate progressed from concept to clinical testing in just eight weeks, supported by collaboration among the University of Oxford's Clinical BioManufacturing Facility, the Serum Institute of India and other partners.
The trial is funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations as part of an 8.6-million-U.S.-dollar program involving the University of Oxford and the Serum Institute of India to advance the development of vaccines against Bundibugyo ebolavirus.
Subject to regulatory approval, preparations are also underway for further clinical studies of the vaccine with partners in Uganda, according to the university.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on May 17 announced that the Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. At present, there are no approved specific therapeutics or vaccines for the Bundibugyo virus.
