About
This clinical study will assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 2 dose levels of mRNA-1273 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) vaccine in adults 18 years of age or older.
Full description
This is a 3-part Phase 2a study, with Part A (Blinded Phase), Part B (Open-label Interventional Phase), and Part C (Rollover Proof of Concept).
Participants in Part A are blinded to their treatment assignment, with participants receiving either 2 active mRNA-1273 vaccine doses or placebo. Part B of the study is designed to offer participants to be unblinded so that participants who received placebo in Part A can request 2 doses of open-label mRNA-1273 vaccine. Additionally, participants who originally received 1 or 2 doses of mRNA-1273 (50 microgram [μg] or 100 μg vaccine) during Part A, will have the opportunity to request to receive a single booster dose of mRNA-1273.
Part C will be a proof-of-concept rollover study to evaluate a vaccine to treat mutations of SARS-CoV2, such as the S-protein of the B.1.351 variant. Part C will include approximately 60 participants, who are currently enrolled in Moderna's Phase 3 mRNA-1273-P301 study (NCT04470427), have already been unblinded, and have previously received 2 doses of mRNA-1273 at least 6 months earlier. At enrollment into Part C of this study, their participation in mRNA-1273-P301 study will be terminated. Part C will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of 2 dose levels (20 µg and 50 µg) of mRNA-1273.351 and mRNA-1273/mRNA-1273.351 mixture (50 µg total), given as a single booster dose.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria:
Each participant must meet all of the following criteria during the screening period and at Day 1, unless noted otherwise, to be enrolled in this study:
-
Male or female, 18 years of age or older at the time of consent (Screening Visit, Day 0). For Part B, participants must have been previously enrolled in the mRNA-1273 P201 study.
-
Understands and agrees to comply with the study procedures and provides written informed consent.
-
According to the assessment of the investigator, is in good general health and can comply with study procedures.
-
Female participants of nonchildbearing potential may be enrolled in the study. Nonchildbearing potential is defined as surgically sterile (history of bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy) or postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea for ≥12 consecutive months prior to Screening (Day 0) without an alternative medical cause). A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level may be measured at the discretion of the investigator to confirm postmenopausal status.
-
Female participants of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study if the participant fulfills all the following criteria:
- Has a negative pregnancy test at Screening (Day 0) and on the day of the first injection (Day 1).
- Has practiced adequate contraception or has abstained from all activities that could result in pregnancy for at least 28 days prior to the first injection (Day 1).
- Has agreed to continue adequate contraception through 3 months following the second injection (Day 29).
- Is not currently breastfeeding.
Adequate female contraception is defined as consistent and correct use of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved contraceptive method in accordance with the product label. For example:
- Barrier method (such as condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap) used in conjunction with spermicide
- Intrauterine device
- Prescription hormonal contraceptive taken or administered via oral (pill), transdermal (patch), subdermal, or IM route
- Sterilization of a female participant's monogamous male partner prior to entry into the study Note: periodic abstinence (for example, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
-
Male participants engaging in activity that could result in pregnancy of sexual partners must agree to practice adequate contraception from the time of the first injection and through 3 months after the last injection.
Adequate contraception for male participants is defined as:
- Monogamous relationship with a female partner using an intrauterine device or hormonal contraception (described above)
- Use of barrier methods and spermicide
- History of surgical sterilization
- Male participants with partners who have become pregnant prior to Screening are eligible to participate in the study.
Additional Key Inclusion Criteria for Part C
- Participants must have been previously enrolled in the mRNA-1273-P301 study and must have received 2 doses of mRNA-1273 in Part A, has been unblinded and aware of their actual treatment in Study mRNA-1273-P301, must have been compliant in Study mRNA-1273-P301 (was not withdrawn or discontinued early), and has been at least 6 months since their second dose in Study mRNA-1273-P301 prior to enrollment in this part.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
Participants meeting any of the following criteria at the Screening Visit (Day 0) or at Day 1, unless noted otherwise, will be excluded from the study:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Is acutely ill or febrile 24 hours prior to or at the Screening Visit (Day 0). Fever is defined as a body temperature ≥38.0°Celsius/100.4°Fahrenheit. Participants meeting this criterion may be rescheduled within the relevant window periods. Afebrile participants with minor illnesses can be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
- Current treatment with investigational agents for prophylaxis against COVID-19.
- Has a medical, psychiatric, or occupational condition that may pose additional risk as a result of participation, or that could interfere with safety assessments or interpretation of results according to the investigator's judgment.
- Is a healthcare worker or a member of an emergency response team.
- Current use of any inhaled substance (for example, tobacco or cannabis smoke, nicotine vapors).
- History of chronic smoking (≥1 cigarette a day) within 1 year of the Screening Visit (Day 0).
- History of illegal substance use or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years. This exclusion does not apply to historical cannabis use that was formerly illegal in the participant's state but is legal at the time of Screening.
- Known history of hypertension, or systolic blood pressure >150 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) in participants in Cohort 1 (≥18 to <55 years old) or systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg in participants in Cohort 2 (≥55 years old) at the Screening Visit (Day 0).
