BACKGROUND: NVX-CoV2373 is an adjuvanted, recombinant spike protein nanoparticle vaccine that was shown to have clinical efficacy for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in phase 2b-3 trials in the United Kingdom and South Africa, but its efficacy had not yet been tested in North America. METHODS: We conducted a phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in the United States and Mexico during the first half of 2021 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NVX-CoV2373 in adults (≥18 years of age) who had not had severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Participants were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive two doses of NVX-CoV2373 or placebo 21 days apart. The primary objective was to determine vaccine efficacy against reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction-confirmed Covid-19 occurring at least 7 days after the second dose. Vaccine efficacy against moderate-to-severe disease and against different variants was also assessed. RESULTS: Of the 29,949 participants who underwent randomization between December 27, 2020, and February 18, 2021, a total of 29,582 (median age, 47 years; 12.6% ≥65 years of age) received at least one dose: 19,714 received vaccine and 9868 placebo. Over a period of 3 months, 77 cases of Covid-19 were noted - 14 among vaccine recipients and 63 among placebo recipients (vaccine efficacy, 90.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 82.9 to 94.6; P<0.001). Ten moderate and 4 severe cases occurred, all in placebo recipients, yielding vaccine efficacy against moderate-to-severe disease of 100% (95% CI, 87.0 to 100). Most sequenced viral genomes (48 of 61, 79%) were variants of concern or interest - largely B.1.1.7 (alpha) (31 of the 35 genomes for variants of concern, 89%). Vaccine efficacy against any variant of concern or interest was 92.6% (95% CI, 83.6 to 96.7). Reactogenicity was mostly mild to moderate and transient but was more frequent among NVX-CoV2373 recipients than among placebo recipients and was more frequent after the second dose than after the first dose. CONCLUSIONS: NVX-CoV2373 was safe and effective for the prevention of Covid-19. Most breakthrough cases were caused by contemporary variant strains.

背景:NVX-CoV2373 是一种佐剂增强的重组刺突蛋白纳米颗粒疫苗,在英国和南非的 2b-3 期临床试验中显示出对预防 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的临床疗效,但尚未在北美进行疗效测试。
方法:我们在美国和墨西哥进行了一项 2021 年上半年的 3 期、随机、观察者设盲、安慰剂对照试验,以评估 NVX-CoV2373 在未感染过严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的成年人(≥18 岁)中的疗效和安全性。参与者按照 2:1 的比例随机分配接受两剂 NVX-CoV2373 或安慰剂,间隔 21 天。主要目的是确定第二剂后至少 7 天发生的逆转录酶-聚合酶链反应确认的 COVID-19 的疫苗有效性。还评估了疫苗对中度至重度疾病和不同变体的疗效。
结果:在 2020 年 12 月 27 日至 2021 年 2 月 18 日期间进行随机分组的 29949 名参与者中,共有 29582 名(中位数年龄为 47 岁;12.6%≥65 岁)接受了至少一剂:19714 名接受了疫苗,9868 名接受了安慰剂。在 3 个月的时间里,共出现了 77 例 COVID-19 病例-14 例在疫苗接种者中,63 例在安慰剂接种者中(疫苗有效性为 90.4%;95%置信区间[CI],82.9 至 94.6;P<0.001)。有 10 例中度和 4 例严重病例,均发生在安慰剂组,这表明疫苗对中度至重度疾病的疗效为 100%(95%CI,87.0 至 100)。大多数测序的病毒基因组(61 个中的 48 个,79%)是关注或感兴趣的变体-主要是 B.1.1.7(alpha)(35 个关注变体中的 31 个,89%)。对任何关注或感兴趣的变体的疫苗有效性为 92.6%(95%CI,83.6 至 96.7)。不良反应主要为轻度至中度且短暂,但在 NVX-CoV2373 接种者中比安慰剂接种者更常见,且在第二剂后比第一剂后更常见。
结论:NVX-CoV2373 安全有效,可预防 COVID-19。大多数突破性病例是由当代变体株引起的。(由 Novavax 等资助;PREVENT-19 临床试验.gov 编号,NCT04611802。)
