What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for influenza that stimulate an immune response include vaccines and antiviral medications. Vaccines, such as the mRNA-1010 candidate, are generally well-tolerated but can cause side effects like injection site pain, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, and fever. Antiviral medications like oseltamivir and baloxavir can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Rare but serious side effects include neuropsychiatric effects (e.g., delirium, hallucinations) and severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome). Overall, these treatments are effective but should be monitored for adverse reactions.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for influenza that stimulate an immune response. Notably, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) are antiviral medications that inhibit neuraminidase, an enzyme critical for viral replication. Additionally, baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza) is another antiviral that inhibits the cap-dependent endonuclease protein, essential for viral RNA transcription. These treatments, while not vaccines, help the immune system by reducing viral load and limiting the severity of the infection. The mRNA-1010 vaccine, currently under study, aims to stimulate an immune response by encoding proteins from the influenza virus, thereby preparing the immune system to recognize and combat the virus more effectively.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to the mRNA-1010 vaccine for influenza patients in 2024 include: 1) Universal influenza vaccines targeting conserved viral proteins to provide broader protection across different strains. 2) Recombinant protein vaccines, which use viral proteins produced in cell cultures. 3) Nanoparticle-based vaccines that enhance immune response and stability. 4) DNA vaccines, which use plasmid DNA to induce an immune response. These alternatives are in various stages of research and development and show potential for improved efficacy and broader protection.

Summary

This trial will test how safe and effective a potential vaccine is for fighting COVID-19.

Who is the study for?

Healthy adults who can follow the study plan, have not had a flu shot or any vaccine within certain time frames before the trial, and show no severe allergies to mRNA vaccines. Women must test negative for pregnancy and use contraception. People with unstable health conditions or recent close contact with influenza cases are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing different versions of an mRNA-based flu vaccine called mRNA-1010 (including variations like mRNA-1010.4 and mRNA-1010.6) to see how safe they are, how people react to them, and how well they work at triggering an immune response.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects may include typical reactions seen with vaccines such as pain at the injection site, fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills or joint pain. Severe allergic reactions are rare but could occur.

Other Research

Common treatments for influenza include antiviral drugs and vaccines. Antiviral drugs, such as neuraminidase inhibitors (e.g., zanamivir and laninamivir), work by blocking the function of the viral neuraminidase protein, preventing the virus from spreading within the respiratory tract. Vaccines, including the mRNA-1010 vaccine, stimulate the immune system to recognize and combat the influenza virus. These vaccines introduce viral components that prompt the body to produce antibodies, providing immunity against future infections. This immune response is crucial for influenza patients as it helps reduce the severity and duration of the illness, prevents complications, and decreases the spread of the virus within the community.
