A clinical trial for an investigational COVID-19 vaccine for infants.

Trial ID: mRNA-1273-P206
The BabyCOVE Study is a Phase 2 clinical trial conducted by Moderna to determine whether an investigational vaccine can protect infants 12–26 weeks old from COVID-19, including the Omicron variant. Over the course of the pandemic, there has been an increase in prevalence of the COVID-19 in children, leaving an urgent need for pediatric vaccinations to protect against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Trial Details

The purpose of the BabyCOVE Study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of an investigational vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in infants 12–26 weeks old.

The BabyCOVE Study will be conducted in 2 parts:

  • About 100 participants will be enrolled into Part 1, which will evaluate 2 different doses of the investigational vaccine, starting with the lower dose. Once the lower dose has been shown to be safe, an increased dosage will be given to new participants to determine which dose level is most effective against COVID-19.
  • Once the best dosage level has been determined in Part 1, Part 2 will begin. About 600 participants will be assigned at random to receive either the dose of the investigational vaccine determined in Part 1 or a placebo (a saline solution that contains no active ingredient). Participants will not know whether they receive the investigational vaccine or the placebo.

All participants will receive 2 doses, 8 weeks apart.
