NVX-CoV2373, a Covid-19 vaccine was developed in the USA with ∼90% efficacy. The same vaccine is manufactured in India after technology transfer (called as SII-NVX-CoV2373), was evaluated in this phase 2/3 immuno-bridging study.
This was an observer-blind, randomised, phase 2/3 study in 1600 adults. In phase 2, 200 participants were randomized 3:1 to SII-NVX-CoV2373 or placebo. In phase 3, 1400 participants were randomized 3:1 to SII-NVX-CoV2373 or NVX-CoV2373 (940 safety cohort and 460 immunogenicity cohort). Two doses of study products (SII-NVX-CoV2373, NVX-CoV2373 or placebo) were given 3 weeks apart. Primary objectives were to demonstrate non-inferiority of SII-NVX-CoV2373 to NVX-CoV2373 in terms of geometric mean ELISA units (GMEU) ratio of anti-S IgG antibodies 14 days after the second dose (day 36) and to determine the incidence of causally related serious adverse events (SAEs) through 180 days after the first dose. Anti-S IgG response was assessed using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and neutralizing antibodies (nAb) were assessed by a microneutralization assay using wild type SARS CoV-2 in participants from the immunogenicity cohort at baseline, day 22, day 36 and day 180. Cell mediated immune (CMI) response was assessed in a subset of 28 participants from immunogenicity cohort by ELISpot assay at baseline, day 36 and day 180. The total follow-up was for 6 months. CTRI/2021/02/031554.
Total 1596 participants (200 in Phase 2 and 1396 in Phase 3) received the first dose. SII-NVX-CoV2373 was found non-inferior to NVX-CoV2373 (anti-S IgG antibodies GMEU ratio 0.91; 95% CI: 0.79, 1.06). At day 36, there was more than 58-fold rise in anti-S IgG and nAb titers compared to baseline in both the groups. On day 180 visit, these antibody titers declined to levels slightly lower than those after the first dose (13-22 fold-rise above baseline). Incidence of unsolicited and solicited AEs was similar between the SII-NVX-CoV2373 and NVX-CoV2373 groups. No adverse event of special interest (AESI) was reported. No causally related SAE was reported.
SII-NVX-CoV2373 induced a non-inferior immune response compared to NVX-CoV2373 and has acceptable safety profile.

NVX-CoV2373是一种在美国研发的新冠疫苗,有效率约为90%。该疫苗经技术转让后在印度生产(称为SII-NVX-CoV2373),在这项2/3期免疫桥接研究中进行了评估。
这是一项针对1600名成年人的观察者盲法、随机、2/3期研究。在2期,200名参与者按3:1随机分配至SII-NVX-CoV2373组或安慰剂组。在3期,1400名参与者按3:1随机分配至SII-NVX-CoV2373组或NVX-CoV2373组(940名安全性队列和460名免疫原性队列)。研究产品(SII-NVX-CoV2373、NVX-CoV2373或安慰剂)分两剂,间隔3周给药。主要目标是在第二剂接种后14天(第36天)证明SII-NVX-CoV2373在抗S IgG抗体几何平均酶联免疫吸附测定单位(GMEU)比值方面不劣于NVX-CoV2373,并确定首剂接种后180天内因果相关严重不良事件(SAE)的发生率。使用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)评估抗S IgG反应,在基线、第22天、第36天和第180天,通过使用野生型SARS-CoV-2的微量中和试验评估免疫原性队列参与者的中和抗体(nAb)。在免疫原性队列的28名参与者亚组中,通过ELISpot试验在基线、第36天和第180天评估细胞介导免疫(CMI)反应。总随访期为6个月。CTRI/2021/02/031554。
共有1596名参与者(2期200名,3期1396名)接种了首剂。发现SII-NVX-CoV2373不劣于NVX-CoV2373(抗S IgG抗体GMEU比值为0.91;95%置信区间:0.79,1.06)。在第36天,两组的抗S IgG和nAb滴度相比基线均升高了58倍以上。在第180天随访时,这些抗体滴度降至略低于首剂后的水平(比基线升高13 - 22倍)。SII-NVX-CoV2373组和NVX-CoV2373组之间自发和诱发不良事件的发生率相似。未报告特殊关注不良事件(AESI)。未报告因果相关SAE。
与NVX-CoV2373相比,SII-NVX-CoV2373诱导的免疫反应不劣且具有可接受的安全性。
