Brief summary

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the MVA-SIBP vaccine using a double-blind, randomized, controlled, age de-escalation design conducted in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Detailed description

Given the urgent need for pediatric data and the high burden of mpox in the DRC, this trial will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the MVA-SIBP vaccine using a double-blind, randomized, controlled, age de-escalation design conducted in Kinshasa, DRC. The trial is designed to generate critical data to support regulatory approval and broader access to affordable, stable, and scalable mpox vaccines for Africa.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALMVA-SIBP low dose

Participants received one subcutaneous dose of 0.5ml MVA-SIBP low dose on days 0 and 28, respectively, for a total of two doses.

BIOLOGICALMVA-SIBP high dose

Participants received one subcutaneous dose of 0.5ml MVA-SIBP high dose on days 0 and 28, respectively, for a total of two doses.

BIOLOGICALMVA-BN

Participants received one subcutaneous dose of 0.5ml MVA-BN low dose on days 0 and 28, respectively, for a total of two doses.
