Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are individuals aged 18 to 55 with a recent diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or related conditions who are neurologically stable.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are acutely ill or have a history of conditions that may interfere with the study outcomes may not benefit from this trial.

What this trial studies

This trial aims to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1195 in individuals aged 18 to 55 who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis or related conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the mRNA-1195 treatment or a placebo. The study will assess the effectiveness of mRNA-1195 in preventing relapses of multiple sclerosis over a specified period. The trial is designed to gather data on how well the treatment works and its safety profile in this patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the frequency of relapses in patients with multiple sclerosis.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach using mRNA technology is relatively novel in the context of multiple sclerosis, similar studies have shown promise in other conditions.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Medically stable as determined by Investigator's medical evaluation, which will include assessment of medical history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and review of any previously conducted cardiac monitoring.
* Participants who are Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-seropositive at screening.
* Participants diagnosed with relapsing multiple sclerosis, including those with a single clinical attack (that is, clinically isolated syndrome \[CIS\]), as well as participants diagnosed with radiologically isolated syndrome, within 24 months of Screening Visit (that is, early in their multiple sclerosis course) and in the opinion of the Investigator have been neurologically stable for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1/Day 1.
* A participant who could become pregnant is eligible to participate if they are not pregnant or breast/chest feeding and using a highly effective contraceptive method.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Acutely ill or febrile (temperature ≥38.0 degrees Celsius (℃) \[100.4 Fahrenheit °F\]) within 72 hours prior to or at screening or Day 1.
* History of a diagnosis or condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, is clinically unstable or may affect participant safety, assessment of study endpoints, assessment of immune response, or adherence to study procedures.
* Received or plans to receive any non-study vaccine (including authorized or approved vaccines for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 \[COVID-19\] regardless of vaccine type) within 28 days before or after any study injection, or within 14 days before or after any study injection for the influenza vaccine.
* Any medical, psychiatric, or occupational condition, including reported history of drug or alcohol abuse, that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might pose additional risk due to participation in the study or could interfere with the interpretation of study results.
* Received systemic immunosuppressants within the 30 day period prior to screening (for corticosteroids, ≥10 milligrams (mg)/day of prednisone or equivalent)
* Participants with any documented history of myocarditis, pericarditis, or myopericarditis.
* Has donated ≥450 milliliter (mL) of blood products within 28 days prior to screening or plans to donate blood products within 28 days post-study injection.
