A clinical trial conducted by Moderna is evaluating whether investigational mRNA vaccines may protect people from seasonal influenza, commonly called “the flu.” Seasonal flu is a common cause of sickness, severe illness, and even death.
Trial ID: mRNA-1020-P101
The Spark Trial is evaluating the safety and immune response of investigational mRNA vaccines that may protect against the flu. Flu vaccines based on mRNA technology could potentially provide several benefits compared to current vaccines, including the ability to respond to changes in influenza strains more quickly, stronger immune responses, and improved protection in older adults.
Participants in this trial will be randomized to receive one of three investigational vaccines or an already-approved seasonal influenza vaccine. This allows researchers to study the safety and immune responsiveness of the investigational vaccines against the flu compared to other standard vaccines that are currently in use.
Participation in the Spark Trial lasts approximately 7 months and includes phone calls, telemedicine visits, and around 6 visits to the clinical trial site.
Insurance is not needed to join this clinical trial, and compensation for participants’ time will be available.
You will need to travel to one of the study clinics taking part in this clinical trial.
