Trial overview

Official title: A Phase 3 Randomized, Observer-Blind, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Clinical Efficacy of an mRNA Based Seasonal Influenza Vaccine in Older Adults ≥65 Years of Age
Trial description: This study will compare an investigational mRNA flu vaccine with a licensed flu vaccine in adults 65 years of age and older. Participants will receive one injection and will be followed during the flu season. The study will measure prevention of laboratory-confirmed flu illness, side effects, and immune responses.
Primary purpose:
Prevention
Trial design:
Parallel Assignment
Masking:
Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Allocation:
Randomized
Primary outcomes:

Laboratory-confirmed protocol-defined influenza-like illness (ILI) assessed by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Number of Participants with Solicited Administration Site Adverse Events (AEs)

Timeframe: From Day 1 to Day 7

Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs

Timeframe: From Day 1 to Day 7

Number of Participants with Unsolicited AEs

Timeframe: From Day 1 to Day 28

Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Timeframe: From Day 1 up to the end of the influenza season (with at least 180 days of follow-up)

Number of Participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

Timeframe: From Day 1 up to the end of the influenza season (with at least 180 days of follow-up)

Number of Participants with any Laboratory abnormalities

Timeframe: At Day 1 (pre-dose) and at Day 29 (post -dose)

Secondary outcomes:

Laboratory-confirmed protocol-defined ILI assessed for relative vaccine efficacy by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Laboratory-confirmed protocol-defined ILI by antigenic matching status

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season ,

All-cause protocol-defined ILI assessed by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Influenza-related medically attended event assessed by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Influenza-related oxygen support for more than 24 hours assessed by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Influenza-related intensive care unit admission assessed by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Influenza-related major adverse cardiovascular event assessed by incidence rate ratio

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

To evaluate the impact of the study interventions on healthcare resource utilization during laboratory-confirmed influenza episodes

Timeframe: From Day 15 through the end of the influenza Season

Geometric mean titers (GMT) Ratio of Antigen 1, Antigen 2 and Virus Neutralization Antibody Titers

Timeframe: At Day 29

Geometric mean increase (GMI) of Antigen 1, Antigen 2 and Virus Neutralization Antibody Titers

Timeframe: From Day 1 to Day 29

Percentage of Participants with Antigen 1, Antigen 2 and Virus Neutralization Seroconversion Rate (SCR)

Timeframe: From Day 1 to Day 29

Percentage of Participants with Antigen 1 Seroprotection Rate (SPR)

Timeframe: At Day 1 and Day 29
