What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Reactogenicity Adverse Reaction (ARs)-First Vaccination

    Solicited ARs (local and systemic) were collected in the daily diary. Local ARs included: injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site induration/swelling. Systemic ARs included: body temperature (oral), generalized myalgia (muscle ache or pain), generalized arthralgia (joint ache or pain), headache, fatigue/malaise (unusual tiredness), nausea/vomiting, chills, and rash. Data for this outcome measure is reported up to 7 days after the first study vaccination only. A summary of all serious adverse events (SAEs) and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is in Reported "Adverse Events" section.

    Measured: Up to Day 7 after first vaccination (up to 8 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Reactogenicity Adverse Reaction (ARs)-Second Vaccination

    Solicited ARs (local and systemic) were collected in the daily diary. Local ARs included: injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site induration/swelling. Systemic ARs included: body temperature (oral), generalized myalgia (muscle ache or pain), generalized arthralgia (joint ache or pain), headache, fatigue/malaise (unusual tiredness), nausea/vomiting, chills, and rash. Data for this outcome measure is reported up to 7 days after the second study vaccination only. A summary of all serious adverse events (SAEs) and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is in Reported "Adverse Events" section.

    Measured: Up to Day 7 after second vaccination (Day 29 to Day 36)

  3. Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was as any AE not present before exposure to vaccine or any AE already present that worsened in intensity or frequency after exposure. A summary of all SAEs and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the Reported "Adverse Events" section.

    Measured: Up to Day 392 (all AEs considered an SAE were collected till end of study [Day 392]; the Other AEs [non-SAE] were collected up to Day 57)

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in death, is life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. AESIs included potentially immune-mediated medical conditions (autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases) that may have the theoretical potential for association with novel vaccines. A summary of all SAEs and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the Reported "Adverse Events" section.

    Measured: Day 1 to the end of study visit (up to Day 392)

    Measured: Day 1, 29, 57, Month 7 and 13

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Seroconverted From Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 29, From Day 1 to Day 57, From Day 1 to Month 7, and From Day 1 to Month 13

    Seroconversion is defined as a change of PRNT from below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) to a PRNT equal to or above LLOQ for the assay, or a multiplication by at least 4 in participants with pre-existing PRNT titers.

    Measured: Day 1 (baseline) to Day 29, from Day 1 to Day 57, from Day 1 to Month 7, and from Day 1 to Month 13.

  5. Number of Initially Seronegative Participants With a Seroresponse as Measured by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test

    Seroconversion is defined as a change of PRNT from below the LLOQ to a PRNT equal to or above LLOQ for the assay, or a multiplication by at least 4 in participants with pre-existing PRNT titers.

    Measured: Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13

  6. Number of Initially Seropositive Participants With a 2-fold or 4-fold Increase in Neutralizing Antibody Titers as Compared With Baseline as Measured by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test

    Seroconversion is defined as a change of Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test from below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) to a PRNT equal to or above LLOQ for the assay, or a multiplication by at least 4 in participants with pre-existing PRNT titers.

    Measured: Day 29, Day 57, Month 7, and Month 13

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing mRNA-1893 in people with Zika Virus, run by ModernaTX, Inc. at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 25 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 21 Aug 2024. 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, Puerto Rico. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jun 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 Reactogenicity Adverse Reaction (ARs)-First Vaccination (time frame: Up to Day 7 after first vaccination (up to 8 days)). 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 NCT04064905, 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 21 Aug 2024.
