E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the safety and tolerability of one or two boosting doses of Comirnaty or one dose of BNT162b2s01 in BNT162-01 trial subjects, or two boosting doses of Comirnaty in BNT162-04 trial subjects. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To describe changes in SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers from baseline to reference and SARS-CoV-2 SA variant (B.1.351) |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Have given informed consent by signing the informed consent form (ICF) before initiation of any trial-specific procedures. 2. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, laboratory tests, lifestyle restrictions (including those requested by the German and federal Governments, e.g., to follow good practices to reduce chances of spreading COVID 19), and other requirements of the trial. 3. Have received BNT162 vaccine candidates in the BNT162-01 or BNT162-04 trials. 4. Remain overall healthy (i.e., has not medically deteriorated significantly since participation in the parent trial, is not anticipated to die in the next 26 weeks, and is able to provide blood as specified by the trial without anticipated, deleterious medical consequences) in the clinical judgment of the investigator based on medical history and physical examination. Screening clinical laboratory tests are to assess the subjects “new baseline” unless required for eligibility (e.g., platelets). 5. Agree not to enroll in another trial of an IMP, starting after Visit 0 and continuously until Visit 5 (Day 50). 6. Less than 18 months have passed since their last IMP injection in their parent trial. 7. If they received 30 µg Comirnaty twice in the BNT162-01 trial, Visit 1 in this trial is ≥24 weeks after their last IMP injection, unless the subject is a Cohort 13 transplant subject of the BNT162-01 trial. 8. If they received any other BNT162 vaccine candidate than Comirnaty in the BNT162-01 or BNT162-04 trial or are a Cohort 13 transplant subject, Visit 1 in this trial is ≥12 weeks after their last IMP injection. 9. Have not been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection in the 12 weeks prior to Day 1 (baseline). Subjects who screen-fail on this criterion may be rescreened. 10. Platelets = 125,000 to 550,000/mm3. 11. Chemistry panel: the following apply: alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are <3.0 times the upper limit of normal, and/or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is ≥ 40 mL/min/1.73 m2. 12. Immunocompromised subjects may be included if their clinical laboratory values are stable in the context of their disease, and if there is no acute deterioration present with the expected need to change their therapy within the 2 weeks after the anticipated trial vaccination. 13. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must test negative in a urine beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) test at Visits 0 and 1. Women that are post-menopausal or permanently sterilized will be considered as not having reproductive potential. 14. WOCBP must agree to practice a highly effective form of contraception during the trial, starting at screening and continuously until Visit 5 (Day 50). 15. WOCBP must confirm that they practiced one highly effective form of contraception for the 14 d prior to screening. 16. WOCBP must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the trial, starting after Visit 0 and continuously until Visit 5 (Day 50). 17. Men who are sexually active with a WOCBP and have not had a vasectomy must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception with their female partner of childbearing potential during the trial, starting after Visit 0 and continuously until Visit 5 (Day 50). 18. Men must be willing to refrain from sperm donation, starting after Visit 0 and continuously until Visit 5 (Day 50).

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Have received any SARS-CoV-2 vaccine outside of the BNT162-01 or BNT162-04 trials. 2. Have a known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the planned IMP including any excipients of the IMP. 3. Have a current febrile illness (body temperature ≥38.0°C) or other acute illness within 48 h prior to Day 1/IMP injection in this trial. Subjects who screen-fail on this criterion may be rescreened. 4. Have received a live or live attenuated vaccine within 30 d prior to Day 1/IMP injection, or any other vaccination within 14 d prior to Day 1/IMP injection. Subjects who screen-fail on this criterion may be rescreened. 5. Have an ongoing AE assessed as related to any BNT162-01 or BNT162-04 trial vaccine.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
For all Group A and Group B subjects: • The proportion of subjects in each treatment group with at least one SAE or the proportion of AESIs occurring up to 26 weeks after the first IMP injection. For Group A and a selected subset of Group B subjects: • The frequency of solicited local reactions (pain, tenderness, erythema/redness, induration/swelling) at the injection site recorded up to 7 d after each IMP injection. • The frequency of solicited systemic reactions (vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue/tiredness, fever, chills, nausea, new or worsened muscle pain, new or worsening joint pain) recorded up to 7 d after each IMP injection. For Group A subjects only: • The proportion of subjects with at least one unsolicited TEAE or at least one AE related to IMP occurring up to 28 d after IMP injection in each treatment group. |
