Moderna pulls application for COVID-flu combination shot

  • Moderna voluntarily withdrew its FDA application for a COVID-19 and influenza combination vaccine for adults aged 50 and older on May 21, 2025.
  • The withdrawal followed FDA requests for additional Phase III influenza vaccine efficacy data and tightened clinical trial requirements for COVID boosters in healthy adults under 65.
  • Moderna plans to resubmit the application later in 2025 after collecting interim data from an ongoing Phase III trial of its standalone seasonal influenza vaccine, mRNA-1010.
  • A Phase III trial showed the combination vaccine met its primary endpoint of noninferiority and produced higher immune responses against influenza strains and SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron XBB.1.5.
  • This withdrawal signals a delayed approval timeline to 2026 and highlights the impact of stricter FDA standards amid declining COVID vaccine sales and challenging market conditions for Moderna.
