a study to assess the safety and immune response of a vaccine against influenza in healthy younger and older adults

Conditions: Influenza, Human

Summary: the purpose of this study is to find and confirm the dose and asses the reactogenicity, safety and immune response of glaxosmithkline's (gsk) messenger rna (mrna)-based multivalent seasonal influenza vaccine (gsk4382276a) candidates administered in healthy younger and older adults (oa).


Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * a male or female between and including 18 and 50 years of age in phase 1 and between and including 18 and 85 years of age (ya: 18-64; oa: 65-85) in phase 2 at the time of the study intervention administration. * healthy participants or medically stable participants as established by medical history, clinical examination, and safety laboratory assessments. participants with chronic medical conditions with or without specific treatment are allowed to participate in this study if considered by the investigator as medically stable. a stable medical condition is defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during 3 months before enrollment. * body mass index (bmi) \>=18 kilograms per meter square (kg/m\^2) and less than or equal to (\<=) 35 kg/m\^2. * participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol. * written informed consent obtained from the participant prior to performing any study-specific procedure. * female participants of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study. * female participants of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study if the participant: * has practiced adequate contraception for 28 days prior to study intervention administration, and * has a negative pregnancy test on the day of study intervention administration, and * has agreed to continue adequate contraception for at least 1 month after study intervention administration exclusion criteria: medical conditions * only in phase 1: any clinically significant\* hematological, biochemical, urinalysis or (hemoglobin a1c) hba1c laboratory abnormality. \*the investigator should use the clinical judgment to decide which abnormalities are clinically significant. * participant tested positive for influenza by local health authority-approved testing methods within 180 days prior to day 1. * current or past malignancy, unless completely resolved without clinically significant sequelae for \>5 years. * any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including hiv infection, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required). however, in phase 2, hiv-infected individuals may be enrolled if participants have been stable on antiretroviral therapy for the past 6 consecutive months, i.e., their treatment has not been modified, their cluster of differentiation 4 (cd4) cell count is \>=200/cubic millimeter (mm\^3) and their viral load has been undetectable (i.e., hiv-rna less than (\<) 50 copies/milliliter \[ml\]) (based on medical records, no laboratory testing required). * history of myocarditis or pericarditis less than or equal to 10 years prior to vaccine administration, including a history of myocarditis or pericarditis following vaccination with an mrna coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) vaccine. * participants with history of hypersensitivity or severe allergic reaction to any previous vaccine or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study intervention (including latex, polyethylene glycol, egg protein and aminoglycoside antibiotics). * history of, or uncontrolled neurological disorders or seizures, including guillain-barré syndrome and bell's palsy, with the exception of febrile seizures during childhood. * any history of dementia or any medical condition that moderately or severely impairs cognition. * any medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator would make intramuscular injection unsafe. * any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study. prior/concomitant therapy * administration of an influenza vaccine (including any of the study investigational vaccines) within 180 days before enrollment or planned administration within 28 days (day 29) after the study intervention administration. * phase 1: administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol in the period starting 28 days (day -28) before the study intervention administration or planned administration within 28 days (day 29) after the study intervention administration. phase 2: administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol in the period starting 15 days (day -15) before the study intervention administration or planned administration within 28 days (day 29) after the study intervention administration. \*in case emergency mass vaccination for an unforeseen public health threat is recommended and/or organized by public health authorities outside the routine immunization program, the time period described above can be reduced to 7 days if, necessary for that vaccine, provided it is used according to the local governmental recommendations and that the sponsor is notified accordingly. * use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine, or invasive medical device) other than the study intervention during the period beginning 30 days before the study intervention administration, or their planned use during the study period. * administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs within 90 days before enrollment or planned use at any time during the study period. * administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives during the period starting 90 days before the study intervention administration, or planned administration during the study period. administration of monoclonal antibodies specifically directed against the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (sars-cov-2), for treatment of covid-19 disease is allowed. * chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting 3 months prior to the study intervention administration. for corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent \>=20 milligrams (mg)/day. inhaled, topical and intraarticular steroids are allowed. other exclusions * concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational intervention (drug/invasive medical device). * pregnant or lactating female. * bedridden participants. * female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions within the 1-month post-dosing period. * alcoholism or substance use disorder within the past 24 months based on the presence of 2 or more of the following abuse criteria: hazardous use, social/interpersonal problems related to use, neglect of major roles to use, withdrawal, tolerance, use of larger amounts or longer, repeated attempts to quit or control use, much time spent using, physical or psychological problems related to use, activities given up to use, craving. * any study personnel or their immediate dependents, family, or household members. * participants with extensive tattoos covering deltoid region on both arms that would preclude the assessment of local reactogenicity.
