What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Frequency of solicited AEs (local and systemic reactogenicity events)

    Measured: 7 days following each dose administration

  2. Frequency of unsolicited adverse events

    Measured: 29 days following each dose administration

  3. Frequency of medically-attended AEs, adverse events of special interest (AESI), and serious adverse events (SAE)

    Measured: one year following the last dose administration

  4. Frequency of clinical laboratory adverse events

    Measured: 1 month following the last dose administration

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Titers of anti-CMV neutralizing antibodies against epithelial cell infection measured by neutralization assay in comparison with baseline sample

    Measured: 6 months following the last dose administration

  2. Titers of anti-CMV neutralizing antibodies against fibroblast cell infection measured by neutralization assay in comparison with baseline sample

    Measured: 6 months following the last dose administration

  3. Titers of vaccine antigen-specific IgG antibodies as measured by ELISA assay in comparison with baseline sample

    Measured: 6 months following the last dose administration

  4. Frequencies of vaccine antigen-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells secreting interferon gamma as determined by ELISPOT

    Measured: 6 months following the last dose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing mRNA-1647 and mRNA-1443 in people with Cytomegalovirus Infection, run by ModernaTX, Inc. at 4 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 8 inclusion and 22 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 15 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Frequency of solicited AEs (local and systemic reactogenicity events) (time frame: 7 days following each dose administration). The study lists 4 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 NCT03382405, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Jan 2021.
