a study to learn about new covid-19 rna vaccine candidates in covid-19 vaccine-experienced healthy individuals

Conditions: SARS-CoV-2 Infection; COVID-19

Summary: the purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of bnt162b rna-based sars-cov-2 vaccine candidates in adults to prevent covid-19. for all cohorts (groups of participants), this study is seeking participants who are healthy (who may have preexisting disease if it is stable); all participants will receive a single dose of the study vaccine at the first study clinic and will return to the study clinic at least 4 more times. at each clinic visit, a blood sample will be taken. the study is about 6 months long for each participant. the vaccine candidates in this study are investigational but are very similar to bnt162b2 (comirnaty), a covid-19 rna vaccine approved for use in the us and in many countries. for cohort 1, this study included participants who were: * 18 through 55 years of age * have received 1 booster dose of a us-authorized covid-19 vaccine, with the last dose being 90 or more days before visit 1 of this study. all participants in cohort 1 will receive 1 of the 2 study vaccines at a 30 microgram dose: bnt162b5 bivalent (wt/omi ba.2) or bnt162b2 bivalent (wt/omi ba.1). for cohort 2, this study included participants who were: * 12 years of age and older * have received 3 prior doses of 30 micrograms bnt162b2, with the last dose being 150 to 365 days before visit 1 of this study. participants 12 through 17 years of age will receive bnt162b2 bivalent (wt/omi ba.4/ba.5) 30 micrograms. participants 18 years and older will receive bnt162b2 bivalent (wt/omi ba.4/ba.5) at either a 30 microgram or a 60 microgram dose. for cohort 3, this study included participants who were: * 18 years of age and older * have received 3 prior doses of 30 micrograms bnt162b2, with the last dose being 150 to 365 days before visit 1 of this study. * participants will receive bnt162b2 bivalent (wt/omi ba.4/ba.5) 30 micrograms. for cohort 4, this study is seeking participants who are: * 18 through 55 years of age * have received 3 or 4 prior doses of a us-authorized mrna covid-19 vaccine (and dose level), with the last dose being a us-authorized ba.4/ba.5-adapted bivalent vaccine and dose level at least 150 days before visit 1 of this study. all participants in cohort 4 will receive 1 of the 5 study vaccines at a 30 microgram dose: bnt162b2 bivalent (original/ omi ba.4/ba.5), bnt162b5 bivalent (original/omi ba.4/ba.5), bnt162b6 bivalent (original/omi ba.4/ba.5), bnt162b7 bivalent (original/omi ba.4/ba.5) or bnt162b7 monovalent (omi ba.4/ba.5).


Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. age: * cohort 1: 18 through 55 years of age. * cohort 2: 12 years of age and older. * cohort 3: 18 years of age and older. * cohort 4: 18 through 55 years of age. 2. willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits/contacts, study procedures and lifestyle considerations. 3. healthy participants (stable pre-existing disease permitted). 4. capable of giving signed informed consent. 5. prior covid-19 vaccination history: cohort 1: - received of 1 booster dose of a us-authorized covid-19 vaccine, with the dose being 90 or more days before first study visit. documented receipt of all prior covid-19 vaccines is required. cohorts 2 and 3: - received 3 prior doses of 30 micrograms bnt162b2, with last dose being 150 to 365 days before first study visit. documented receipt of all prior covid-19 vaccines is required. cohort 4: - received 3 or 4 prior doses of a us-authorized mrna covid-19 vaccine (and dose level), with the last dose being a us-authorized omicron ba.4/ba.5-adapted vaccine and dose level at least 150 days before first study visit. documented receipt of all prior covid-19 vaccines is required. exclusion criteria: 1. history of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the study vaccines. 2. known or suspected immunodeficiency. 3. bleeding diathesis or condition associated with prolonged bleeding that would, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicate intramuscular injection. 4. women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 5. other medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study. 6. immunosuppressants/radiotherapy: cohorts 1 and 2: receipt of chronic systemic treatment with known immunosuppressant medications (including cytotoxic agents or systemic corticosteroids), or radiotherapy, within 60 days before study vaccination through end of study. cohorts 3 and 4: receipt of chronic systemic treatment with known immunosuppressant medications (including cytotoxic agents or systemic corticosteroids, eg, for cancer or an autoimmune disease), or radiotherapy, within 60 days before enrollment or planned receipt through conclusion of the study. 7. blood/plasma products, immunoglobulin, or monoclonal antibodies: cohorts 1, 2, 3: receipt of blood/plasma products, immunoglobulin, or monoclonal antibodies, from 60 days before study vaccination or planned receipt throughout the study. cohort 4: receipt of blood/plasma products, immunoglobulin, or monoclonal antibodies used for treatment/prevention of covid-19 or those considered immunosuppressive, from 60 days before study vaccination or planned receipt throughout the study. 8. other study participation: cohorts 1 and 2: participation in other studies involving a study intervention within 28 days before randomization. anticipated participation in other studies within 28 days after receipt of study intervention in this study. cohorts 3 and 4: participation in other studies involving receipt of a study intervention within 28 days before randomization. anticipated participation in other studies involving a study intervention from randomization through the end of this study. 9. investigator site staff directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff otherwise supervised by the investigator, and sponsor and sponsor delegate employees directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members. 10. cohort 4 only: history of myocarditis or pericarditis
