Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Zika Vaccine mRNA-1893 in Healthy Flavivirus Seropositive and Seronegative Adults

A Phase 1, Randomized, Observer-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Zika Vaccine mRNA-1893 in Healthy Flavivirus Seropositive and Seronegative Adults

• Negative urine pregnancy test at the Screening visit and at the day of each vaccination for females of childbearing potential.
• Male participants must agree to practice adequate contraception from the time of the first vaccination and through 3 months following the last vaccination.
• For flavivirus-seropositive group, has positive flavivirus test results (including dengue, West Nile, and Zika) as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other commercially available serological assay.
• For flavivirus-seronegative group, has negative flavivirus test results (including dengue, West Nile, and Zika) as determined by ELISA or other commercially available serological assay.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has any acute or chronic, Clinically Significant disease in the opinion of the investigator.
• Has received a vaccine for dengue, Japanese encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis, West Nile, Yellow Fever, or Zika.

• Has clinical laboratory test results (hematology, serum chemistry, or coagulation) with a toxicity score of Grade ≥ 1 at Screening.
• Has a bleeding disorder that would contraindicate IM injections or phlebotomy.
• Reports a diagnosis of congenital or acquired immunodeficiency (including HIV infection), or autoimmune disease.
• Has a history of hypersensitivity or severe reactions to previous vaccinations or any component of the study vaccine.
• Has a history of idiopathic urticaria.
• Reports a previous diagnosis of hematologic malignancy or pre-malignancy or a diagnosis of any other malignancy within the previous 10 years (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer).
• Has a medical, psychiatric, or occupational condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose an additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study or would interfere with the evaluation of the study vaccines or the interpretation of study results.
• Is acutely ill or febrile on the day of screening (Day 0) or randomization (Day 1).
• Has a history of inflammatory arthritis.
• Has a history of febrile disease with arthritis or arthralgia within 2 weeks of administration of any study vaccine.
• Has received an investigational or nonregistered product (drug or vaccine) within 30 days before the first dose of study vaccine or has plans for administration during the study period.
• Has received or is scheduled to receive an inactivated vaccine within the period from 14 days before, or through 14 days after, administration of any study vaccination.
• Has received or is scheduled to receive a live virus vaccine administered within the period from 28 days before, or through 28 days after, any dose of study vaccine.
• Has received chronic administration (defined as > 14 total days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months before the first study vaccine dose.
• Has received immunoglobulins and/or blood products within the 3 months before the first study vaccine dose or has plans for administration during the study period.
• Has a positive test result at the Screening Visit for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, or HIV type 1 or 2 antibodies.
• Has donated > 450 mL of whole blood or blood products within 30 days of enrollment or plans to do so during the study period.
• Is an immediate family member or household member of study personnel.
