About
This is an observer-blinded Phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a single booster dose of the Novavax severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) recombinant (r) spike (S) protein nanoparticle vaccine adjuvanted with Matrix-MTM (NVX-CoV2373) in adults previously vaccinated with the BBIBP-CorV vaccine. The study will enroll approximately1,000 participants >18 years of age. All participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a single booster dose of NVX-CoV2373 or the BBIBP-CorV vaccine. All participants will receive the booster dose on Day 0 and remain on study for immunogenicity and safety data collection through Day 180. An interim analysis will be performed of safety and immunogenicity data gathered through Day 28.
Full description
Novavax, Inc., is developing recombinant vaccines adjuvanted with the saponin-based Matrix-M for the prevention of disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Both nonclinical and clinical data to date (Liu 2011; Keech 2020; Formica 2021; Heath 2021) support continued clinical development of SARS-CoV-2 rS vaccines combined with Matrix-M adjuvant as potential vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.
Due to waning immunity following primary vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 as well as the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants (eg, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron), a number of countries have administered or are planning to administer booster doses of vaccine to either specific subgroups or to their general population. As part of this effort, both homologous boosting (boosting with the same vaccine used for the primary vaccination series) or heterologous boosting (boosting with a vaccine that differs from that used for the primary vaccination series) are being evaluated.
The present study aims to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of a single booster of NVX-CoV2373 administered to participants who have already been immunized with BBIBP-CorV vaccine. The NVX-CoV2373 booster will be administered > 180 days after the second dose of BBIBP-CorV vaccine, and the ability of the vaccine to increase antibody titers against the prototype SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as the ability to induce cross-neutralizing antibodies to variant strains will be evaluated. If favorable immunogenicity and safety profiles are observed following a booster dose of NVX-CoV2373, this option would add flexibility to the global COVID-19 vaccination effort and potentially decrease the need to develop variant-specific vaccines.

Volunteers
Inclusion criteria
Adults ≥ 18 years of age, inclusive, at screening.
Willing and able to give informed consent prior to study enrollment and to comply with study procedures.
Females of childbearing potential (defined as any female who has experienced menarche) who is NOT surgically sterile (i.e., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea at least 12 consecutive months), must agree to either be heterosexually inactive OR consistently use a medically acceptable method of contraception, from enrollment and to 3 months after the last vaccination. Medically acceptable methods of contraception include:
Condoms (male or female)
Diaphragm with spermicide
Cervical cap with spermicide
Intrauterine device
Oral or patch contraceptives
Norplant®, Depo-Provera®, or other in country regulatory approved contraceptive method that is designed to protect against pregnancy
Abstinence, as a form of contraception, is acceptable if in line with the participant's lifestyle
Is medically stable, as determined by the investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs [to include body temperature], medical history, and targeted physical examination [to include body weight]). Vital signs must be within medically acceptable ranges as determined by the investigator prior to the first vaccination.
Agrees to not participate in any other SARS-CoV-2 prevention or treatment trials for the duration of the study. NOTE: For participants who become hospitalized with COVID-19, participation in investigational treatment studies is permitted.
Has previously received a documented complete two dose series of the BBIBP-CorV vaccine with the second dose having been given at least 180 days prior to study vaccination OR has previously received a documented complete two dose series of the BBIBP-CorV vaccine and a third dose booster of BBIBP-CorV vaccine, with the third dose having been given at least 90 days prior to study vaccination.
Exclusion criteria
Participation in research involving receipt of investigational products (drug/biologic/device) within 90 days prior to first study vaccination.
Has previously received a primary series vaccination or booster dose of any COVID- 19 vaccine other than BBIBP-CorV.
Received influenza vaccination within 14 days prior to first study vaccination, or any other vaccine (including COVID-19) within 30 days prior to first study vaccination.
Any known allergies to products contained in the investigational product
Any history of anaphylaxis to any prior vaccine.
Autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease/condition (iatrogenic or congenital) requiring ongoing immunomodulatory therapy. NOTE: Stable endocrine disorders (eg, thyroiditis, pancreatitis), including stable diabetes mellitus with no history of diabetic ketoacidosis are NOT excluded.
Chronic administration (defined as > 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressant, systemic glucocorticoids, or other immune-modifying drugs within 90 days prior to first study vaccination. NOTE: An immunosuppressant dose of glucocorticoid is defined as a systemic dose
≥ 10 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical or intranasal glucocorticoids is permitted. Topical tacrolimus and ocular cyclosporin are permitted.
Use of inhaled glucocorticoids is prohibited.
Received immunoglobulin, blood-derived products, or immunosuppressant drugs within 90 days prior to first study vaccination.
Active cancer (malignancy) on therapy within 3 years prior to first study vaccination (with the exception of adequately treated non-melanomatous skin carcinoma or lentigo maligna and uterine cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease, at the discretion of the investigator).
Participants who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant prior to the end of study.
Suspected or known history of alcohol abuse or drug addiction within 2 years prior to the first study vaccine dose that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with protocol compliance.
Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a health risk to the participant if enrolled or could interfere with evaluation of the study vaccine or interpretation of study results (including neurologic or psychiatric conditions likely to impair the quality of safety reporting).
Study team member or immediate family member of any study team member (inclusive of Sponsor, CRO, and study site personnel involved in the conduct or planning of the study)
