Ebola Vaccine To Be Treated On People For The First Time by unuane1(m): 8:20am On Aug 30, 2014 |
A vaccine developed by the U.S. National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in collaboration with drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline and the United States Army Medical Research Institute for infectious diseases will be subject to first human trials starting next week. The trial will be sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), after the vaccine was fast-tracked for testing to tackle the Ebola outbreak which has killed more than 1,500 people out of more than 3,000 infected in Liberia, West Africa and Guinea. To conduct the trial, 20 healthy adults aged 18-50 will be enrolled to test the vaccine’s safety and see whether it prompts the body to generate an immune response. The study will be conducted at NIH headquarters in Bethesda, Md. NIH and British medical foundations will separately test the vaccine in Britain, Gambia and Mali. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is discussing a trial in Nigeria. NIH expects it will likely have the results of the study before the end of the calendar year. “We have accelerated the timeline for testing experimental Ebola vaccines that we have been developing for several years,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIAID at the NIH. To make the vaccine, scientists used a virus called an adenovirus that infects chimpanzees but not humans. It was chosen as a vehicle for the vaccine because it shouldn’t make people sick. Glaxo’s Dr. Rip Ballou explained that human body shouldn’t attack the vaccine, as it doesn’t have the antibodies to fight it. http://www.thepncvoice.com/ebola-vaccine-treated-people-first-time/34847 |
