A Trial to Evaluate the Effect of CD388/MK1406 on the Immunogenicity of Fluzone® HD Vaccine (CD388.SQ.1.08/MK-1406-007)

Sponsor: Cidara Therapeutics Inc., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA)

Summary

Approximately one billion cases of seasonal influenza occur annually. Of these, 3 to 5 million illnesses are severe and responsible for up to 650,000 deaths per year (WHO 2025). Yearly administration of an influenza vaccine for the prevention of influenza is currently recommended. However, the real-world vaccine effectiveness varied from 10% to 60% in the general population across the years of 2004 to 2024, with effectiveness in most years below 50% (CDC 2025) and decreasing to as low as 5% in immunocompromised individuals (Hughes 2021). Researchers are looking for other ways to prevent severe illness from the influenza virus. The goals of this study are to learn if: * MK-1406 (formerly CD388) is safe to take with Fluzone® * MK-1406 affects the immune response to Fluzone®

Official title: A Phase 1, Double-blind, Randomized Trial to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of Fluzone® High-Dose Influenza Vaccine When Concomitantly Administered With CD388, a Novel Long-Acting Antiviral Conjugate for the Prevention of Influenza
