Moderna press release
mRNA-1083 met its primary endpoints, eliciting higher immune responses against influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 than licensed flu and COVID vaccines in adults 50 years and older, including an enhanced influenza vaccine in adults 65 years and older
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2024 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that its Phase 3 trial of mRNA-1083, an investigational combination vaccine against influenza and COVID-19, has met its primary endpoints, eliciting a higher immune response than the licensed comparator vaccines used in the trial.
“Combination vaccines have the potential to reduce the burden of respiratory viruses on health systems and pharmacies, as well as offer people more convenient vaccination options that could improve compliance and provide stronger protection from seasonal illnesses,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “Moderna is the only company with a positive Phase 3 flu and COVID combination vaccine. Building on the momentum of positive Phase 3 data across our respiratory portfolio, we continue to address significant unmet medical needs and advance public health.”
mRNA-1083 comprises components of mRNA-1010, Moderna’s vaccine candidate for seasonal influenza, and mRNA-1283, Moderna’s next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Each investigational vaccine has independently demonstrated positive Phase 3 clinical trial results.
The ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT06097273) is a randomized, observer-blind, active control study evaluating the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of mRNA-1083 in two independent age group cohorts of approximately 4,000 adults each. One cohort, consisting of adults 65 years and older, compared mRNA-1083 to co-administered Fluzone HD®, an enhanced influenza vaccine, and Spikevax®, Moderna’s currently licensed COVID-19 vaccine. The other cohort of adults 50 to 64 years of age compared mRNA-1083 to co-administered, Fluarix®, a standard dose influenza vaccine, and Spikevax.
