EBOVAC1 Development of a Prophylactic Ebola Vaccine Using an Heterologous Prime-Boost Regimen – Sofia ref.: 115854

Coordinator: LONDON SCHOOL OF HYGIENE AND TROPICAL MEDICINE ROYAL CHARTER (UK)

The overall aim of the EBOVAC programme is to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel prime boost prophylactic vaccine regimen against Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), which has been 100% effective in preclinical studies. This will be done via phase I, II and III trials carried out in the EU and in Africa, in response to the urgent public health need raised by the current Ebola epidemic. To expedite the development of the vaccine regimen, Phase II and Phase III trials will be carried out in parallel and therefore co-ordinated by two separate teams.

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €58.3M toward a total project budget of €98.0M — a funding rate of 60%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 7 years from 2014-12-01 to 2021-11-30.
