Second Generation H5 mRNA Vaccine in Healthy Adults
Pandemic flu H5 HA mRNA SD2 vaccine
+ Placebo
Prevention Study
Summary
Study start date: April 17, 2025
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a new vaccine designed to protect against the H5 strain of the flu, which can cause pandemics. It involves healthy adults who are 18 years and older, including both younger and older individuals. The goal is to find the right vaccine dose that can be used in future health emergencies. Understanding how well this vaccine works and how safe it is can potentially lead to better preparedness for influenza outbreaks. Participants in the study receive two injections of either the vaccine or a placebo, spaced three weeks apart. These injections include various doses to assess which is most effective. The study lasts for about 13 months for each participant, with 7 study visits and 1 phone call. Blood samples are collected during these visits to monitor the body's response to the vaccine. Follow-up visits at different intervals after the injections help ensure participant safety and gather data on how the vaccine affects the immune system over time.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years or older on the day of inclusion * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding and one of the following conditions applies: * Is of non-childbearing potential. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be postmenopausal for at least 1 year, or surgically sterile. OR • Is of childbearing potential and agrees to use an effective contraceptive method or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to each study intervention administration until at least 12 weeks after the last 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) within 8 hours before the first dose of study intervention Exclusion Criteria: * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months) * Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study intervention components (eg, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate); history of a life-threatening reaction to the study interventions used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances; any allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) after administration of an mRNA vaccine * Previous history of myocarditis, pericarditis, and/or myopericarditis * Known history of previous episodes of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), neuritis (including Bell's palsy), convulsions , encephalitis, transverse myelitis, and vasculitis * Participants with an electrocardiogram that is consistent with possible myocarditis or pericarditis or, in the opinion of the investigator, demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or study results * Self-reported thrombocytopenia, contraindicating IM injection based on investigator's judgment * Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating IM injection based on investigator's judgment * Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion * Moderate or severe acute illness / infection (according to investigator's judgment) or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C \[≥ 100.4°F\]) on the day of study intervention. A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided * Alcohol, prescription drug, or substance abuse that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the study conduct or completion * Participant who had acute infectious symptoms or a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) or antigen test in the past 10 days prior to the first visit (V)01 * Receipt of any vaccine other than an mRNA vaccine in the 4 weeks preceding study intervention administration or planned receipt of any vaccine other than an mRNA vaccine in the 3 weeks following the second dose of the study intervention * Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months * Receipt of any mRNA vaccine/product in the 2 months preceding study intervention administration or planned receipt of any mRNA vaccine in the 2 months after the second dose of the study intervention * Participation at the time of study enrollment (or in the 4 weeks preceding study intervention administration) or planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure * Previous history of participation in an H5 influenza A vaccine study. This includes any influenza subtypes that contain H5 such as H5N1, H5N8, or H5N6 Note: The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
