Summary

This trial tests safety and effectiveness of a new intramuscular mRNA vaccine for influenza A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) in 18-49 yr olds. Primary goal is to assess safety, secondary is to compare antibody responses to a standard dose of inactivated vaccine.

Who is the study for?
Healthy adults aged 18-49 with stable blood pressure, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and without significant health conditions can join. They must agree to use contraception and avoid sperm donation for specified periods around vaccination. Exclusions include drug abuse, liver disease, immune disorders, recent corticosteroid use, severe reactions to vaccines, certain heart conditions, psychiatric hospitalization within the past 5 years.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new mRNA vaccine (DCVC H1 HA) against H1N1 influenza in healthy adults. Participants will receive varying doses (10 mcg up to an optimal dose determined by safety outcomes) compared with a standard quadrivalent flu vaccine. The study aims to find the safest effective dose.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical vaccine reactions like soreness at injection site, fever or chills shortly after receiving the shot. Since it's an early-phase trial assessing safety and immunogenicity of different doses of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine versus a standard flu shot.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm 3Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Healthy adults, 18 to 49 years of age will receive 50 mcg of DCVC H1 HA mRNA vaccine administered intramuscularly to the upper arm/deltoid at days 1 and 29. A safety evaluation will occur to ensure the safety data support proceeding to the optimal dose group. N = 20
Group II: Arm 2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Healthy adults, 18 to 49 years of age will receive 25 mcg of DCVC H1 HA mRNA vaccine administered intramuscularly to the upper arm/deltoid at days 1 and 29. A dose escalation safety evaluation will occur to ensure the safety data support proceeding to the higher dose group. N = 10
Group III: Arm 1Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Healthy adults, 18 to 49 years of age will receive 10 mcg of DCVC H1 HA mRNA Vaccine administered intramuscularly to the upper arm/deltoid at days 1 and 29. A dose escalation safety evaluation will occur to ensure the safety data support proceeding to the higher dose group. N = 10
Group IV: Arm 4Active Control3 Interventions
Healthy adults, 18 to 49 years of age will receive 60 mcg of Licensed quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4), Fluzone Quadrivalent, administered intramuscularly to the upper arm/deltoid once. N = 10
