background, in August 2025, following completion of the Ph3 efficacy study, MRNA held
a pre-submission meeting with CBER. In written feedback, CBER requested that
supportive analyses on the comparator be included in the submission - MRNA then
provided the additional analyses requested by CBER in its submission, including data
from a separate Ph3 study (P303 Part C) comparing mRNA-1010 against a licensed
high-dose influenza vaccine.
The VRBPAC will vote on the following questions:
1. Do the benefits of mFlusiva outweigh its risks for the prevention of influenza disease
in adults 50 through 64 years of age? (X Yes, X No, X Abstain).
2. Do the benefits of mFlusiva outweigh its risks for the prevention of influenza disease
in adults 65 years of age and older? (X Yes, X No, X Abstain).
Below, we summarize key points discussed in the briefing documents.
On clinical efficacy, the primary basis for traditional approval in ages 50-64,
mFlusiva demonstrated superior efficacy over the standard-dose influenza vaccine.
In the pivotal P304 Ph3 Study (n=40,805), mFlusiva demonstrated a relative vaccine
efficacy (rVE) of 26.6% (95% CI: 16.7, 35.4) against RT-PCR–confirmed influenza-like
illness compared with a licensed standard-dose comparator in adults ≥50 years of age.
The vaccine met all prespecified success criteria for noninferiority, superiority, and
super-superiority. Notably, rVE against higher-level healthcare outcomes
(hospitalization, ER, or urgent care visits) was 47.9% (95% CI: 12.8, 68.9), supporting
clinical meaningfulness. Point estimates of rVE were consistent across age subgroups
(25.3%–28.0%) and influenza strain types (22.2%–29.6%).
mFlusiva showed superior immunogenicity versus Fluzone high-dose in adults 65
