Official Title
A Phase 2a, Randomized, Observer-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose-Confirmation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Reactogenicity, and Immunogenicity of mRNA-1273 SARS-COV-2 Vaccine in Adults Aged 18 Years and Older
Brief Summary

This clinical study will assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 2 dose levels of mRNA-1273 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) vaccine in adults 18 years of age or older.

Detailed Description

This is a 3-part Phase 2a study, with Part A (Blinded Phase), Part B (Open-label
Interventional Phase), and Part C (Rollover Proof of Concept).

Participants in Part A are blinded to their treatment assignment, with participants receiving
either 2 active mRNA-1273 vaccine doses or placebo. Part B of the study is designed to offer
participants to be unblinded so that participants who received placebo in Part A can request
2 doses of open-label mRNA-1273 vaccine. Additionally, participants who originally received 1
or 2 doses of mRNA-1273 (50 microgram [μg] or 100 μg vaccine) during Part A, will have the
opportunity to request to receive a single booster dose of mRNA-1273.

Part C will be a proof-of-concept rollover study to evaluate a vaccine to treat mutations of
SARS-CoV2, such as the S-protein of the B.1.351 variant. Part C will include approximately 60
participants, who are currently enrolled in Moderna's Phase 3 mRNA-1273-P301 study
(NCT04470427), have already been unblinded, and have previously received 2 doses of mRNA-1273
at least 6 months earlier. At enrollment into Part C of this study, their participation in
mRNA-1273-P301 study will be terminated. Part C will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity
of 2 dose levels (20 µg and 50 µg) of mRNA-1273.351 and mRNA-1273/mRNA-1273.351 mixture (50
µg total), given as a single booster dose.

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Each participant must meet all of the following criteria during the screening period and at
Day 1, unless noted otherwise, to be enrolled in this study:

1. Male or female, 18 years of age or older at the time of consent (Screening Visit, Day
0). For Part B, participants must have been previously enrolled in the mRNA-1273 P201
study.

2. Understands and agrees to comply with the study procedures and provides written
informed consent.

3. According to the assessment of the investigator, is in good general health and can
comply with study procedures.

4. Female participants of nonchildbearing potential may be enrolled in the study.
Nonchildbearing potential is defined as surgically sterile (history of bilateral tubal
ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy) or postmenopausal (defined as
amenorrhea for ≥12 consecutive months prior to Screening (Day 0) without an
alternative medical cause). A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level may be measured
at the discretion of the investigator to confirm postmenopausal status.

5. Female participants of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study if the
participant fulfills all the following criteria:

- Has a negative pregnancy test at Screening (Day 0) and on the day of the first
injection (Day 1).

- Has practiced adequate contraception or has abstained from all activities that
could result in pregnancy for at least 28 days prior to the first injection (Day
1).

- Has agreed to continue adequate contraception through 3 months following the
second injection (Day 29).

- Is not currently breastfeeding.

Adequate female contraception is defined as consistent and correct use of a Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) approved contraceptive method in accordance with the product
label. For example:

- Barrier method (such as condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap) used in conjunction
with spermicide

- Intrauterine device

- Prescription hormonal contraceptive taken or administered via oral (pill),
transdermal (patch), subdermal, or IM route

- Sterilization of a female participant's monogamous male partner prior to entry
into the study Note: periodic abstinence (for example, calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods
of contraception.

6. Male participants engaging in activity that could result in pregnancy of sexual
partners must agree to practice adequate contraception from the time of the first
injection and through 3 months after the last injection.

Adequate contraception for male participants is defined as:

- Monogamous relationship with a female partner using an intrauterine device or hormonal
contraception (described above)

- Use of barrier methods and spermicide

- History of surgical sterilization

- Male participants with partners who have become pregnant prior to Screening are
eligible to participate in the study.

Additional Key Inclusion Criteria for Part C

1. Participants must have been previously enrolled in the mRNA-1273-P301 study and must
have received 2 doses of mRNA-1273 in Part A, has been unblinded and aware of their actual
treatment in Study mRNA-1273-P301, must have been compliant in Study mRNA-1273-P301 (was
not withdrawn or discontinued early), and has been at least 6 months since their second
dose in Study mRNA-1273-P301 prior to enrollment in this part.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

Participants meeting any of the following criteria at the Screening Visit (Day 0) or at Day
1, unless noted otherwise, will be excluded from the study:
