Study Summary

This study is a large-scale investigation (Phase 3) into a new booster shot designed specifically for teenagers. The booster targets a particular variant of COVID-19, Omicron XBB.1.5. The main focus is on safety: researchers want to see if this new booster is safe for teenagers who have already received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. To ensure a fair comparison, the study will use a double-blind approach. This means two groups of teenagers will receive booster shots, but neither the teenagers nor the researchers giving the shots will know beforehand which version of the booster each person gets. The study will also assess how well the body fights the virus after the booster shot.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adolescents ≥ 12 to < 18 years of age at screening

  2. Participant and parent(s)/caregiver(s) or legally acceptable representative willingand able to give in-formed consent and assent, as required, prior to studyenrollment and to comply with study procedures.

  3. Participants of childbearing potential (defined as any participant who hasexperienced menarche and who is NOT surgically sterile [ie, hysterectomy, bilateraltubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy] or post-menopausal [defined as amenorrhea ≥ 12 consecutive months]) must agree to be heterosexually inactive from at least 28days prior to enrollment and through the end of the study OR agree to consistentlyuse a medically acceptable method of contraception listed below from ≥ 28 days priorto enrollment and through the end of the study.

  4. Is medically stable, as determined by the investigator (based on review of healthstatus, vital signs [to include body temperature], medical history, and targetedphysical examination [to include body weight]). Vital signs must be within medicallyacceptable ranges prior to the vaccination.

  5. Agrees to not participate in any other SARS-CoV-2 prevention or treatment trials forthe duration of the study.

  6. Have previously received ≥ 2 doses of the Moderna and/or Pfizer-BioNTech monovalentand/or bivalent COVID-19 vaccines with the last dose having been given ≥ 90 dayspreviously prior to study vaccination.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Received COVID-19 vaccines other than Moderna and/or Pfizer-BioNTech in the past,inclusive of clinical trial COVID-19 vaccines.

  2. Participation in research involving receipt of investigational products (drug/biologic/device) within 90 days prior to study vaccination.

  3. Received influenza vaccination within 14 days prior to study vaccination.

  4. Received any vaccine ≤ 45 days prior to study vaccination, except for rabies, humanpapilloma virus (HPV), tetanus-diphtheria (Td), tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (TDaP/DTap), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and meningococcal vaccines which may be givenas medically indicated.

  5. Any known allergies to products contained in the investigational product.

  6. Any history of anaphylaxis to any prior vaccine.

  7. Autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease/condition (iatrogenic or congenital)requiring ongoing immunomodulatory therapy.

  8. Chronic administration (defined as > 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressant,systemic glucocorticoids, or other immune-modifying drugs within 90 days prior tostudy vaccination. An immunosuppressant dose of glucocorticoid is defined as a systemic dose ≥ 10 mg ofprednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical or intranasal glucocorticoidsis permitted. Topical tacrolimus and ocular cyclosporin are permitted.

  9. Received immunoglobulin, blood-derived products, or immunosuppressant drugs within 90 days prior to study vaccination, except for rabies immunoglobulin which may begiven if medically indicated.

  10. Active cancer (malignancy) on therapy within 3 years prior to study vaccination (with the exception of adequately treated non-melanomatous skin carcinoma or lentigomaligna and uterine cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease, at thediscretion of the investigator).

  11. Participants who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant priorto the end of study.

  12. Suspected or known history of alcohol abuse or drug addiction within 2 years priorto the study vaccine dose that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interferewith protocol compliance.

  13. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a healthrisk to the participant if enrolled or could interfere with evaluation of the studyvaccine or interpretation of study results (including neurologic or psychiatricconditions likely to impair the quality of safety reporting).

  14. Study team member or immediate family member of any study team member (inclusive ofSponsor, clinical research organization [CRO], and study site personnel involved inthe conduct or planning of the study).

  15. Participants with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis.

  16. Respiratory symptoms in the past 3 days (ie, cough, sore throat, difficultybreathing).

  17. Temperature of > 38°C within 24 hours of planned study vaccination (site measured orparticipant measured).

  18. Blood pressure of ≥ 160/100 mmHg.

Study Description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blinded study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of booster doses of Omicron subvariant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) recombinant (r) spike (S) protein nanoparticle vaccines (SARS-CoV-2 rS) adjuvanted with Matrix-M™ adjuvant (NVX-CoV2601 [Omicron XBB.1.5]) and bivalent (NVX-CoV2373 [prototype] + NVX CoV2601) in previously vaccinated adolescent participants ≥ 12 to < 18 years of age.

Approximately 400 adolescents who have received a regimen of ≥ 2 doses of the Moderna and/or Pfizer-BioNTech monovalent and/or bivalent COVID-19 vaccines ≥ 90 days previously will be randomized 1:1 to Group A or Group B:

  • Group A: 1 dose of NVX-CoV2601 (1 on Day 0)

  • Group B: 1 dose of bivalent NVX-CoV2373 + NVX-CoV2601 (1 on Day 0) All participants will remain on study for immunogenicity and safety data collection through Day 180.
