Summary

This is a phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial of two influenza A/H5 mRNA-based vaccines on healthy adult participants, 18-49 years of age. Stage 1 will serve as the open-label, dose finding stage. The first 10 participants will receive 12.5 mcg of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine (Group 1), and the second 10 participants will receive 25 mcg of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine (Group 2). After Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) review of reactogenicity and safety data through Day 8 for both Groups 1 and 2, another 10 participants may be enrolled to receive 50 mcg of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine (Group 3). Safety data from 7 days after dose 2 for Groups 1 and 2 participants will be reviewed by the PSRT prior to clearing Group 3 participants for the second dose of vaccine. Individual participants will be followed for approximately 6 months following the second dose of vaccine. The primary objective is to assess the safety of two doses of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine or H5-Astrakhan RNA vaccine administered intramuscularly in healthy adults (18-49 years). Once the Day 36 data from Group 3 are reviewed by the PSRT, a dose will be chosen (12.5 mcg, 25 mcg, or 50 mcg) for advancement to Stage 2 where 50 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either H5 AC-Anhui RNA (Group 4) or H5 Astrakhan RNA (Group 5) in a double-blinded manner.

Conditions

  • Avian Influenza

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

H5 AC-Anhui RNA Vaccine

A nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccine encoding a stabilized, antigenically central hemagglutinin (HA) from influenza A(H5), based on A/Anhui/1/2005 (clade 2.3.4) with substitutions 222QL, 224GS, 156TA, and 134TA. The 2119-nt mRNA is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for intramuscular delivery.

BIOLOGICAL

H5 Astrakhan RNA Vaccine

The vaccine product consists of a monovalent nucleoside-modified mRNA that encodes a traditionally selected avian influenza HA. The H5 Astrakhan RNA encodes the HA from the clade 2.3.4.4b A/Astrakhan/3212/2020 virus.
