Summary

Seasonal Influenza - A Recurrent Public Health Threat

Seasonal influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a significant public health concern, particularly for adults aged 50 and older. This age group is more susceptible to severe illness and complications from the flu, leading to substantial societal and healthcare burdens. In light of the recent Covid-19 Pandemic and it’s far reaching impact on society, Seasonal Flu may seem like a trivial matter but Influenza still poses a serious threat to all age groups.

The broader impact that seasonal Influenza has on society and the healthcare system underscores the importance of preventive measures, including vaccination, early treatment, and public health campaigns. By prioritizing influenza prevention and management, we can reduce the economic burden, maintain workforce productivity, and ensure the healthcare system can effectively serve all patients. mRNA Vaccinations such as mRNA-1010 could become an effective tool to combat seasonal respiratory viruses. mRNA vaccinations represent a novel approach with potential advantages over traditional vaccines such as:

  • Faster Development and Production
  • Greater Flexibility and Adaptability
  • Enhanced Immune Response
  • Elimination of Egg-Based Production Issues
  • Scalability and Distribution

What is the Purpose of this trial?

mRNA-1010 is an investigational vaccine being studied in this clinical trial to prevent seasonal flu. This trial will compare mRNA-1010 to Fluarix®/Influsplit®, which is a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/ the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved vaccine currently used to prevent seasonal flu infection. Fluarix® and Influsplit® are different names for the same approved vaccine. This is a Phase III trial which will enroll up to 56,000 people worldwide

What is required of Study Participants?

Participants will be randomly assigned to get one of two vaccinations:

  • mRNA-1010: The trial vaccine
  • Fluarix®/Influsplit®: A vaccine approved to prevent seasonal flu infections.

Participants will have a single follow-up blood draw and be asked to periodically report if any symptoms of flu-like illness occur. These will be periodically reported with the use of electronic diaries and phone calls.

5 Things to Consider

Joining a clinical trial is an important decision and it is important to carefully consider if trial participation is right for you. There are benefits of participation, including early access to novel medications, access to expert medical care, and the chance to help in the development of something that may benefit others. Risks associated with study participation include adverse events associated with typical medical procedures (such as blood draws) as well as potential side effects of the medication/treatment. Please take a moment to read through our list of considerations before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Participating in a clinical trial is an important responsibility. Each participant has a role in the outcome of a study. It is important that you follow the study instructions so that the information received is accurate, which is critical to study outcomes.

1

Is this your decision?

It is imperative that you make the decision to be a clinical trial participant independently and do not feel pressured to be involved. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t talk the decision over with family and friends, but the final decision must be yours alone.

Before you participate in a study, be sure you’ve talked with your doctor, as well as one of our clinical research professionals, so that you fully understand the nature the trial.

3

Do you have the time?

Most clinical trials involve routine testing and observation. Depending on the study, you may be required to complete multiple visits to our clinic, or for certain studies may even stay overnight. While not every trial will involve such extensive time commitments, you will want to be sure your schedule, daily obligations, and travel capabilities allow you to fully participate.

4

Do you fit the profile?
