What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions (ARs)
Solicited ARs (local and systemic) were collected in an electronic diary (eDiary). Local ARs included: injection site pain, injection site erythema (redness), injection site swelling/induration (hardness), and axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness ipsilateral to the side of injection. Systemic ARs included: fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea/vomiting, and chills. All solicited ARs considered causally related to injection were graded 0-4 (per Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials); lower score indicates lower severity, and a higher score indicates greater severity. Note, not all solicited ARs were considered adverse events (AEs). The Investigator reviewed whether the solicited AR was also to be recorded as an AE. A Summary of serious AEs (SAEs) and nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" section.
Measured: 7 days post-vaccination
Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
An unsolicited AE was an AE that was not solicited using a participant diary and that was communicated by a participant who has signed the informed consent. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. Any abnormal laboratory test result (hematology, clinical chemistry, or prothrombin time [PT]/partial thromboplastin time [PTT]) or other safety assessment (for example, electrocardiogram, radiological scan, vital sign measurement), including one that worsened from baseline and was considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the Investigator was recorded as an AE. Number of participants with unsolicited AEs (SAEs and non-serious AEs) up to 28 days post-vaccination are reported in this outcome measure.
Measured: Up to 28 days post-vaccination
Number of Participants With SAEs, AEs of Special Interest (AESIs), Medically Attended AEs (MAAEs), and AEs Leading to Study or Treatment Discontinuation
An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/permanent damage, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. AESIs included thrombocytopenia, new onset of or worsening of the protocol specified neurologic diseases, anaphylaxis, and myocarditis/pericarditis. An MAAE is an AE that lead to an unscheduled visit to an healthcare practitioner. This included visits to a study site for unscheduled assessments (for example, abnormal laboratory follow-up, and/or coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] and visits to healthcare practitioners external to the study site (for example, urgent care, primary care physician). Number of participants with SAEs, AESIs, MAAEs, and AEs leading to discontinuation up to the end of study (Day 181) are reported in this outcome measure.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 181 (end of study [EOS])
Secondary outcomes (3)
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Anti-Hemagglutinin (HA) Antibodies, as Measured by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Assay for Vaccine-matched Influenza A and B Strains
Seasonal influenza A strains included H1N1 and H3N2 and seasonal influenza B strains included Victoria-lineage and Yamagata-lineage. 95% CI was calculated based on the t-distribution of log-transformed values for GM titer, then back transformed to original scale for presentation.
Measured: Days 1 (Baseline), 8, 29, 91, and 181
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of Anti-HA Antibodies, as Measured by HAI Assay for Vaccine-matched Influenza A and B Strains
The GMFR measures the changes in immunogenicity titers or levels from Baseline within participants. Seasonal influenza A included H1N1 and H3N2 and seasonal influenza B strains included Victoria-lineage and Yamagata-lineage. Fold-rise was calculated by dividing post-vaccination results by the baseline value. 95% confidence interval (CI) for GMFR was calculated based on the t distribution of the differences in the log-transformed values between analysis timepoint and baseline, then back transformed to the original scale for presentation.
Measured: Baseline, Days 8, 29, 91, and 181
Percentage of Participants With Seroresponse for mRNA-1010, as Measured by HAI Assay for Vaccine-matched Influenza A and B Strains
Seasonal influenza A strains included H1N1 and H3N2 and seasonal influenza B strains included Victoria-lineage and Yamagata-lineage. Seroresponse was defined as (a) a post-vaccination antibody titer ≥ 4 * lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) if baseline (Day 1) antibody titer was < LLOQ or (b) a post-vaccination antibody titer ≥ 4-fold of baseline antibody titer if baseline antibody titer was ≥ LLOQ.
Measured: Days 8, 29, 91, and 181

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing mRNA-1010, mRNA-1010.4 and mRNA-1010.6 in people with Influenza, run by ModernaTX, Inc. at 10 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 10 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions (ARs) (time frame: 7 days post-vaccination). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05868382, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Dec 2024.
