CEPI to Fund Pivotal Phase 3 Trial for Moderna's mRNA Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Candidate
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) will invest up to $54.3 million to support a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for Moderna’s mRNA-based H5 pandemic influenza vaccine candidate, mRNA-1018. This funding aims to accelerate the vaccine's licensure and enhance global pandemic preparedness, potentially enabling rapid and equitable access to an H5 vaccine. If licensed, Moderna commits to allocating 20% of its H5 pandemic vaccine manufacturing capacity for timely supply to low- and middle-income countries at affordable pricing.
