Study summary

This trial consisted of three parts, Part A, Part B, and Part C, and evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a third (booster) injection of the multivalent vaccine BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2), and the safety and immunogenicity of a third booster injection of the monovalent vaccine BNT162b2 (B.1.617.2) or BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7), in participants who had received two doses of the parent vaccine BNT162b2 at 30 µg, at least 6 months after the second dose of BNT162b2. It also evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a three-dose regimen of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2) in participants who had not received prior Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. In addition, the safety and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.529.1) or BNT162b2 given as a third or fourth vaccine dose to RNA COVID-19 vaccine-experienced participants with history of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection was evaluated and contrasted with the natural immune response reached after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in RNA COVID-19 vaccine-experienced participants.

  • Part B and Part C: 18 to 85 years old (\~60% should be 18 to 55 years old and \~40% 56 to 85 years old).
  • For Cohorts 1 to 5: In Part A, who had received BNT162b2 vaccine (30 µg, two-dose regimen) in either a clinical trial or as part of the governmental vaccination programs at least 6 months before Visit 0. Participants who were currently enrolled in the Phase III BNT162-02 / C4591001 (NCT04368728) trial, had already been unblinded, and had previously received two doses of BNT162b2 at least 6 months earlier could be included (for Cohorts 1 and 4 in Part B, prior enrollment and dosing in the C4591001 trial was mandatory). At enrollment into Part B of this trial, their participation in the C4591001 trial was terminated. Participants should have not had experienced COVID-19 based on medical history.
  • For Cohort 6: Were COVID-19 vaccine-naïve and had not experienced COVID-19 based on their medical history.
  • Were willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, vaccination plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other trial procedures.
  • Were overall healthy at Visit 0 in the clinical judgment of the investigator based on the medical history, clinical assessment (including physical examination, vital signs, blood and urine clinical laboratory tests, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and oral swab for Nucleic Acid Amplification-based Test (NAAT)-based Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing).
  • Note: Healthy volunteers with pre-existing stable disease, defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during the 12 weeks before Visit 0, could be included.
  • Note: Volunteers who had hepatitis C (HCV) infection, but had completed curative treatment based on the medical history could be included. Volunteers who had or have hepatitis B (HBV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) based on the medical history could not be included.
  • Agreed not to enroll in another trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP), starting after Visit 0 and continuously until the last planned visit in this trial.
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) had to test negative in a urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) test at Visits 0 and 1.
  • WOCBP had to agree to practice a highly effective form of contraception starting at Visit 0 and continuously until 28 days after their last IMP administration in this trial.
  • WOCBP had to confirm that they practiced an acceptable form of contraception for the 14 days prior to Visit 0.
  • WOCBP had to agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction starting after Visit 0 and continuously until 28 days after their last IMP injection in this trial.

  • Men had to be willing to refrain from sperm donation, starting after Visit 0 and continuously until 28 days after their last vaccination.
  • For Part C, Cohorts 7, 8, and 9: Had received two or three documented doses of any authorized COVID-19 RNA-based vaccine (e.g., BNT162b2 [Comirnaty] or the Moderna vaccine [Spikevax]) prior to being diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection from January 2022 onwards (and limited to a period when there was a high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infections).
  • Note: The interval between the last COVID-19 RNA-based vaccine administered and randomization should have been >4 months. The latest prior diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection should have been at least 2 months before randomization. The latest SARS-CoV-2 infection should have been documented with a result from a NAAT (as a preferable option). In case no historic NAAT result was available proving prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, the local positive result of SARS-CoV-2 N-binding antibodies done at screening was sufficient.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. All Parts - Percentage of Participants Reporting Local Reactions at the Injection Site (Pain, Tenderness, Erythema/Redness, Induration/Swelling)

    Local reactions of any grade are reported. Local reactions were graded using criteria based on the US FDA Guidance for Industry "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials"; the guidance uses the Grades 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), and 4 (potentially life-threatening). The reporting of systemic reactions was based on the participant's assessments collected in the electronic diary (e-diary) or mapped from the adverse event case report form from Day 1 to Day 7 after each IMP dose. For Erythema/redness and Induration/swelling, the reported size had to be at least 2.5 cm to be deemed as a local reaction. Local reactions with a size less than 2.5 cm are not included in the analysis. Subjects in Cohort 9 did not receive a vaccination and are not included in this analysis.

    Time frame: from Day 1 to Day 7 after each IMP dose

  2. All Parts - Percentage of Participants Reporting Systemic Events (Fever, Fatigue, Headache, Chills, Vomiting, Nausea, Diarrhea, New or Worsened Muscle Pain, and New or Worsened Joint Pain)

    Systemic reactions of any grade are reported. Systemic reactions were graded using criteria based on the guidance given in the US FDA Guidance for Industry "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials"; the guidance uses the Grades 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), and 4 (potentially life-threatening). The reporting of systemic reactions was based on the participant's assessments collected in the e-diary or mapped from the adverse event case report form from Day 1 to Day 7 after each IMP dose. For Fever, the reported oral temperature had to be ≥38.0°C to be deemed as a systemic event. Oral temperature less than 38.0°C are not included in the analysis. Subjects in Cohort 9 did not receive a vaccination and are not included in this analysis.

    Time frame: from Day 1 to Day 7 after each IMP dose

  3. All Parts - Percentage of Participants Reporting Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as TEAE if the event onset date and time is after the first IMP dose (if the event was absent before the first administration of the IMP) or worsened after the first IMP dose (if the event was present before the first administration of the IMP). In the event of an incomplete onset date, the event is considered as treatment-emergent unless the partial onset date information or complete or partial end date confirms the onset date or the event end prior to the first dose of IMP. Percentages for dose 1, dose 2, dose 3 and overall summaries are based upon the number of participants who received the respective IMP dose.

    Time frame: Dose 1 up to 1 month after each dose (all parts)

  4. All Parts - Percentage of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: resulted in death; was life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent disability/ incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect and/or was another important medical event. SAEs from dose 1 up to 6 months post last IMP dose are presented. MedDRA (version 26.1) coding dictionary applied. An SAE is defined as TESAE if the event onset date and time is after the first IMP dose (if the event was absent before the first administration of the IMP) or worsened after the first IMP dose (if the event was present before the first administration of the IMP). In the event of an incomplete onset date, the event is considered as treatment-emergent unless the partial onset date information or complete or partial end date confirms the onset date or the event end prior to the first dose of IMP.

    Time frame: Dose 1 up to 6 months after the last dose

  5. Part B - GMR of B.1.1.7 NT 1 Month After 1 Dose of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2) in BNT162b2-experienced Participants to the Reference Strain NT 1 Month After 2 Doses of BNT162b2 in Participants From the Phase III C4591001 (NCT04368728) Trial

    GMRs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the difference of least square means and corresponding CIs based on the analysis of logarithmically transformed neutralizing titers using a linear regression model with terms of age, sex, and vaccine group. The overall number of participants analyzed represents the number of participants with valid and determinate assay results for B.1.1.7 and reference strain respectively at the given dose/sampling time point within the specified window. GMR data are presented below as per the primary endpoint defined in the protocol. GMTs for the individual arms (from which GMR was derived) were secondary endpoints and are presented in outcome measure 22. GMR = Geometric mean ratio; NT = neutralizing titers

    Time frame: 1 month after booster dose in BNT162-17 participants and 1 month post Dose 2 in participants from the C4591001 (NCT04368728) trial

  6. Part B - GMR of B.1.617.2 NT 1 Month After 1 Dose of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2) in BNT162b2-experienced Participants to the Reference Strain NT 1 Month After 2 Doses of BNT162b2 in Participants From the Phase III C4591001 (NCT04368728) Trial

    Seroresponse was defined as a ≥4-fold rise in neutralizing titer from baseline. For subjects with a baseline titer less than the lower limit of quantitation (\<LLOQ), seroresponse was defined as a post-vaccination titer of ≥4× LLOQ. Adjusted difference was estimated using minimum risk weights and stratified by sex and age group (18 to 55 years, 56 to 85 years), expressed as a percentage. Associated 2-sided 95% CI based on the Newcombe method with minimum risk weights for the difference in proportions. Difference in seroresponse data are presented below as per the primary endpoint defined in the protocol. Seroresponses for the individual arms (from which the difference was derived) were secondary endpoints and are presented in outcome measure 23.

  11. Part B - GMR of B.1.1.7 NT 1 Month After 2 Doses of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2) in COVID-19 Vaccine-naïve Participants to the Reference Strain NT 1 Month After 2 Doses of BNT162b2 in Participants From the C4591001 (NCT04368728) Trial

    Cohort B6 aimed to generate data to support a 2-dose primary regimen of alpha-delta multivalent BNT162b2 vaccine in SARS-CoV-2 naïve, unvaccinated individuals. The population recruited in Cohort B6, while complying with the inclusion criterium of no known history SARS-CoV-2 infection, were retrospectively seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 by planned N-binding antibody assessment of baseline samples. While the cohort was COVID-19 vaccine-naïve, it was not SARS-CoV-2-naïve as needed to match the control group (C4591001/NCT04368728). Procedurally, submission of a protocol amendment was not possible. However, the Statistical Analysis Plan was amended to describe that the non-inferiority analysis could not be performed according to the protocol. Control participants were not selected as planned; therefore, data were not available to calculate the GMR. Available GMT data for the 17 Cohort B6 participants without evidence of infection were analyzed and are presented in Outcome Measure 28.

    Time frame: 1 month

  12. Part B - GMR of B.1.617.2 NT 1 Month After 2 Doses of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2) in COVID-19 Vaccine-naïve Participants to the Reference Strain NT 1 Month After 2 Doses of BNT162b2 in Participants From the C4591001 (NCT04368728) Trial

While the cohort was COVID-19 vaccine-naïve, it was not SARS-CoV-2-naïve as needed to match the control group (C4591001/NCT04368728). Procedurally, submission of a protocol amendment was not possible. However, the Statistical Analysis Plan was amended to describe that non-inferiority analysis could not be performed according to the protocol. Control participants were not selected as planned; therefore, data were not available to calculate difference in SR. Available SR data for the 17 Part B Cohort 6 participants without evidence of infection were analyzed and presented in Outcome Measure 31.

    Time frame: 1 month

GMTs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the titers and corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below LLOQ were set to 0.5 × LLOQ. GMTs of NTs are presented in the descriptive data section of this outcome measure. GMRs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the difference of LS means and corresponding CIs based on the analysis of logarithmically transformed neutralizing titers using a linear regression model with terms of age, sex, and group. GMR data are presented in the statistical analysis section.

Outcome measures

PrimaryAll Parts - Percentage of Participants Reporting Local Reactions at the Injection Site (Pain, Tenderness, Erythema/Redness, Induration/Swelling)

Local reactions of any grade are reported. Local reactions were graded using criteria based on the US FDA Guidance for Industry "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials"; the guidance uses the Grades 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), and 4 (potentially life-threatening). The reporting of systemic reactions was based on the participant's assessments collected in the electronic diary (e-diary) or mapped from the adverse event case report form from Day 1 to Day 7 after each IMP dose. For Erythema/redness and Induration/swelling, the reported size had to be at least 2.5 cm to be deemed as a local reaction. Local reactions with a size less than 2.5 cm are not included in the analysis. Subjects in Cohort 9 did not receive a vaccination and are not included in this analysis.

Systemic reactions of any grade are reported. Systemic reactions were graded using criteria based on the guidance given in the US FDA Guidance for Industry "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials"; the guidance uses the Grades 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), and 4 (potentially life-threatening). The reporting of systemic reactions was based on the participant's assessments collected in the e-diary or mapped from the adverse event case report form from Day 1 to Day 7 after each IMP dose. For Fever, the reported oral temperature had to be ≥38.0°C to be deemed as a systemic event. Oral temperature less than 38.0°C are not included in the analysis. Subjects in Cohort 9 did not receive a vaccination and are not included in this analysis.

PrimaryAll Parts - Percentage of Participants Reporting Adverse Events (AEs)

An AE is defined as TEAE if the event onset date and time is after the first IMP dose (if the event was absent before the first administration of the IMP) or worsened after the first IMP dose (if the event was present before the first administration of the IMP). In the event of an incomplete onset date, the event is considered as treatment-emergent unless the partial onset date information or complete or partial end date confirms the onset date or the event end prior to the first dose of IMP. Percentages for dose 1, dose 2, dose 3 and overall summaries are based upon the number of participants who received the respective IMP dose.

Cohort B6 aimed to generate data to support a 2-dose primary regimen of alpha-delta multivalent BNT162b2 vaccine in SARS-CoV-2 naïve, unvaccinated individuals. The population recruited in Cohort B6, while complying with the inclusion criterium of no known history SARS-CoV-2 infection, were retrospectively seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 by planned N-binding antibody assessment of baseline samples. While the cohort was COVID-19 vaccine-naïve, it was not SARS-CoV-2-naïve as needed to match the control group (C4591001/NCT04368728). Procedurally, submission of a protocol amendment was not possible. However, the Statistical Analysis Plan was amended to describe that the non-inferiority analysis could not be performed according to the protocol. Control participants were not selected as planned; therefore, data were not available to calculate the GMR.

Cohort B6 aimed to generate data to support a 2-dose primary regimen of alpha-delta multivalent BNT162b2 vaccine in SARS-CoV-2 naïve, unvaccinated individuals. The population recruited in Cohort B6, while complying with the inclusion criterium of no known history SARS-CoV-2 infection, were retrospectively seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 by planned N-binding antibody assessment of baseline samples. While the cohort was COVID-19 vaccine-naïve, it was not SARS-CoV-2-naïve as needed to match the control group (C4591001/NCT04368728). Procedurally, submission of a protocol amendment was not possible. However, the Statistical Analysis Plan was amended to describe that the non-inferiority analysis could not be performed according to the protocol. Control participants were not selected as planned; therefore data were not available to calculate difference in SR. Available SR data for the 17 Part B Cohort 6 participants without evidence of infection were analyzed and presented in Outcome Measure 31.

VOC NT in RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine-experienced participants with history of SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline and 7 days, 1 month, and 3 months after the trial start for Cohorts 7, 8, and 9, and 6 and 12 months after the trial start for Cohorts 7 and 8. GMTs and 2-sided 95% CIs are calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the titers and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the LLOQ are set to 0.5 × LLOQ and above the ULOQ are set to ULOQ. Number of subjects with valid and determinate assay results for the specified variant at the given dose/sampling time point. No vaccination was given to Cohort 9 participants within 3 months after Visit 1. The term "post IMP" does not apply for Cohort 9 since no IMP was given, but blood was collected at the same timepoints post randomization.
