July 30, 2025 updated by: ModernaTX, Inc.

Long-term Outcomes of Myocarditis Following Administration of SPIKEVAX (COVID-19 Vaccine mRNA)

The main goal of this study is to characterize presentation, clinical course, and long-term outcomes of myocarditis temporally associated with administration of mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX) COVID-19 vaccine.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Detailed Description

This is an observational cohort study that combines data collected directly from healthcare providers (HCP) with existing retrospective real-world data as captured in clinical electronic health record (EHR) and administrative claims data. Vaccine exposure and case identification information will be obtained retrospectively from existing real-world data to identify cases of post-vaccine myocarditis (PVM) and ultimately vaccine-associated myocarditis (VAM) for potential study inclusion. Eligible participants will be identified and followed for up to 5 years until the end of the study period or loss to follow-up or death.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Cohort 1: Post-vaccine Myocarditis (PVM)
Cohort 1 will include participants with a myocarditis event diagnosis or service date within 30 days on/after a SPIKEVAX vaccination and participants with at least 1 dose of SPIKEVAX in the 7 days prior to and including the index date.
Cohort 2: All Other Myocarditis
Cohort 2 will include participants with no evidence of SPIKEVAX and no evidence of other vaccines targeting SARS CoV-2 within 30 days on/after a SPIKEVAX vaccination.
