mRNA vaccines against influenza in adults

Official title: A PHASE 2, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF MRNA VACCINES AGAINST INFLUENZA IN ADULTS 18 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER

Run by Pfizer · NCT07431853 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This research will test single-dose mRNA flu vaccines in healthy adults to see if they are safe and trigger an immune response.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Healthy adults aged 18 years or older who are medically stable and meet screening criteria are ideal candidates for this study.

Probably not a fit

People who are not medically healthy or who had influenza, a flu vaccine, or antiviral treatment within the past five months are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 interventional trial gives each healthy adult participant a single dose of one experimental mRNA influenza vaccine or a licensed comparator and follows them for about six months. Safety is monitored and blood samples are collected at three scheduled visits to measure immune responses, with a nasal swab taken at the first visit. Multiple vaccine candidates are being compared to understand which formulations produce the strongest antibody response and acceptable safety profiles. The trial is sponsored by a major pharmaceutical company and conducted at several U.S. clinical sites.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, these mRNA flu vaccines could provide faster development and potentially stronger or more flexible protection against influenza than current vaccines.

How similar studies have gone: mRNA vaccines were highly successful for COVID-19 and early-phase mRNA influenza studies have shown promising immune responses, but large-scale effectiveness for flu is not yet proven.
