Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 1, parallel, randomized, active-controlled, multi-center, dose-esclation study with a Master Protocol design which will include several substudies that are developed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different dose levels of modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines encoding full length hemagglutinin (HA) sequence of influenza virus encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) (hereafter referred to as HA mRNA vaccines) compared to control(s). The HA mRNA vaccine candidates and control(s) are presented in the substudy protocols.

The aim is to generate clinical data across different substudies to provide learnings regarding the mRNA technology to support optimization of the mRNA platform including mRNA and LNP design and to support the decision of LNP and dose selection for future projects using mRNA technology.

The purpose of this Substudy 01 is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a single IM injection of up to 5 dose levels of a monovalent modified mRNA encoding the full-length HA sequence of A/Tasmania/503/2020 (H3N2) influenza virus encapsulated in LNP (hereafter referred to as H3 mRNA /LNP) administered as a single intramuscular (IM) injection in adults 18 to 49 years of age and 60 years of age and above, compared to the following active control: a quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study duration per participant will be approximately 6 months with 1 injection of one of the different HA mRNA vaccines or control for each substudy and a dose-escalation with sequential enrollment (sentinel cohort followed by main cohort).

OR

• Is of childbearing potential and agrees to use an effective contraceptive method or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to study intervention administration until at least 12 weeks after study intervention administration.

* A female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulation) at the screening visit.

Participants are eligible for the study only if all of the following criteria are met:

A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding and one of the following conditions applies:
