This multi-center, prospective, longitudinal cohort study is designed to gather immunological and clinical data on EBV reactivation in EBV seropositive adults aged 18 to 29 years. This study will follow a cohort of approximately 100 EBV seropositive adults 18 to 29 years of age in Australia over a 6 or 12-month period. Participants will not receive any study intervention (eg, study treatments, vaccines).
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment

It consists of prospective blood and saliva collections. Study without any IMP administration.
Number of participants with EBV DNA in blood and saliva at each study visit
Time frame: 6 or 12 months
Serology testing indicative of EBV reactivation, measured by anti-VCA IgG/IgM, anti-EBNA-1 IgG and anti-EA IgG at each study visit
Time frame: 6 or 12 months
Levels of IgG antibodies binding to EBV antigens, measured at selected time points in a subset of participants
Time frame: 6 or 12 months
Levels of EBV nAbs in serum measured at selected timepoints in a subset of participants
Time frame: 6 or 12 months
Immunogenicity assessments at baseline to identify antibody signatures that may correlate with the occurrence of EBV reactivations during study period. Neutralizing and IgG binding assays will be performed in a subset of participants
Time frame: 6 or 12 months
