BACKGROUND: To combat the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, multiple vaccines using different manufacturing platforms have been developed, including NVX-CoV2373 (an adjuvanted recombinant protein vaccine). As SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged, some of which evade vaccine-induced immunity, introduction of vaccine booster doses has become critical. Employing different vaccine types for primary series vaccination and boosting could expand vaccine coverage and access. This study assessed whether NVX-CoV2373 would induce robust responses when used as a booster. METHODS: The 2019nCoV-307 study was a phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded trial evaluating immunogenicity and safety of NVX-CoV2373 in previously vaccinated adults aged 18-49 years in the United States (NCT05463068). Participants were randomized 1:1:1 to receive one intramuscular injection of NVX-CoV2373 from one of three different manufacturing lots. Immunogenicity was assessed by immunoglobulin G (IgG) and neutralizing antibodies (NAb). These responses were compared for the three lots, and for participants with primary series with or without a prior booster dose of the mRNA-1273, BNT162b2, Ad26.COV2.S, or NVX-CoV2373 COVID-19 vaccines. RESULTS: A total of 911 participants were randomized between July 11 and 13, 2022, with 905 being assessed for safety and 848 for immunogenicity. Immunogenicity of NVX-CoV2373 met prespecified equivalence criteria between lots, and the booster dose was well-tolerated. NVX-CoV2373 induced robust IgG and NAb responses when used as a first or later booster dose, regardless of primary series vaccine type. Seroconversion rates were also similar across previous vaccine types. Induced antibodies were strongly reactive, even to the immune-evasive Omicron BA.1 and BA.5 variants. CONCLUSIONS: NVX-CoV2373 showed consistent immunogenicity between lots, with no new safety signals identified. Use of NVX-CoV2373 as a booster dose (first or later) is supported.
背景:为了应对 SARS-CoV-2 大流行,已经开发出多种使用不同制造平台的疫苗,包括 NVX-CoV2373(一种佐剂重组蛋白疫苗)。随着 SARS-CoV-2 变体的出现,其中一些能够逃避疫苗诱导的免疫,引入疫苗加强针变得至关重要。使用不同类型的疫苗进行初级系列接种和加强可以扩大疫苗的覆盖范围和可及性。本研究评估了 NVX-CoV2373 作为加强针使用时是否会引起强烈的反应。
方法:2019nCoV-307 研究是一项在美国 18-49 岁已接种疫苗的成年人中进行的 3 期、随机、观察者盲法试验,评估 NVX-CoV2373 的免疫原性和安全性(NCT05463068)。参与者按照 1:1:1 的比例随机接受三种不同生产批次的 NVX-CoV2373 肌肉内注射。免疫原性通过免疫球蛋白 G(IgG)和中和抗体(NAb)评估。比较了这三种批次的 IgG 和 NAb 反应,以及初级系列接种疫苗后是否有 mRNA-1273、BNT162b2、Ad26.COV2.S 或 NVX-CoV2373 COVID-19 疫苗的加强针。
结果:共有 911 名参与者于 2022 年 7 月 11 日至 13 日随机分组,905 名参与者接受安全性评估,848 名参与者接受免疫原性评估。NVX-CoV2373 在不同批次之间的免疫原性符合预设的等效标准,且加强针耐受性良好。NVX-CoV2373 用作首次或后续加强针时均能引起强烈的 IgG 和 NAb 反应,无论初级系列疫苗类型如何。血清转化率在不同的疫苗类型之间也相似。诱导的抗体反应性很强,即使对免疫逃避的 Omicron BA.1 和 BA.5 变体也是如此。
结论:NVX-CoV2373 在不同批次之间表现出一致的免疫原性,未发现新的安全性信号。支持将 NVX-CoV2373 用作加强针(首次或后续)。
