Brief Summary:
This is a phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in adult participants and adolescent participants. Additionally providing a Booster Dose to fully vaccinated participants. A substudy is to be conducted at selected sites to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a fourth dose (second booster) of NVX-CoV2373 in adults and adolescents, previously fully vaccinated and subsequently boosted with a third dose (first booster)

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in adult participants ≥ 18 years of age (Adult Main Study) and adolescent participants 12 to <18 years (Pediatric Expansion). Additionally, a Booster Amendment will allow for the evaluation of a booster dose of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in participants who completed the primary series of active vaccine in the Adult Main Study or Pediatric Expansion, as well as in participants who previously completed the primary series of an authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine. Additionally, a sub-study conducted at specific sites will allow for the evaluation of a second booster dose of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in participants who completed the primary series of active vaccine in the Adult Main Study and Pediatric Expansion as well as a booster dose in the Booster Amendment of the study.

  1. Be an active, enrolled participant in the 2019nCoV-301 study.
  2. Adults 18 years of age or older or adolescents 12 to < 18 years of age at initial screening for the parent study.
  3. Willing and able to give informed consent prior to substudy enrollment and to comply with extra study procedures.
  4. Documented receipt of the 2 doses of the primary series of NVX-CoV2373 and the booster (third dose) of NVX-CoV2373 in the parent protocol. The booster dose must have been administered at least 6 months prior to entering the substudy.
  5. Participants of childbearing potential (defined as any participant who has experienced menarche and who is NOT surgically sterile or postmenopausal) must agree to be heterosexually inactive from at least 28 days prior to entering and through the end of the substudy OR agree to consistently use a medically acceptable method of contraception for the 28 days of follow-up for the substudy.
  6. Is medically stable, as determined by the investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs (to include body temperature) and targeted physical examination (if medically indicated by reported symptoms). Vital signs must be within medically acceptable ranges prior to administration of study vaccination.
  7. Agree to not participate in any other non-NVX-CoV2373 study during the substudy.

Note: For participants who develop COVID-19, anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapy (approved, authorized or investigational) is permitted.

Exclusion Criteria:

Adult and adolescent participants meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:

  1. Unstable acute or chronic illness. Criteria for unstable medical conditions include:

    1. Substantive changes in chronic prescribed medication (change in class or significant change in dose) in the past 2 months.
    2. Currently undergoing workup of undiagnosed illness that could lead to diagnosis of a new condition.

    Note: Well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] with undetectable HIV RNA [< 50 copies/mL] and CD4 count > 200 cells/µL for at least 1 year, documented within the last 6 months, is NOT considered an unstable chronic illness. Participant's or parent's/caregiver's verbal report will suffice as documentation.

  2. Participation in research involving an investigational product (drug/biologic/device) administered within 45 days prior to first study vaccination.
  3. History of a previous laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19. A previous diagnosis of COVID-19 during participation in this trial is not exclusionary for the Booster Amendment.
  4. Received any vaccine within 4 days prior to first study vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine before Day 49 (i.e., 28 days after second vaccination), except for influenza vaccination, which may be received ≥ 4 days prior to or ≥ 7 days after either study vaccination. Rabies vaccine, at any time it is medically indicated, is not exclusionary. Prior receipt of another approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccine prior to booster injection is not exclusionary in the Booster Amendment. Such participants must provide documentation of vaccine and date(s) of administration.
  5. Autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease/condition (iatrogenic or congenital) or therapy that causes clinically significant immunosuppression. NOTE: Stable endocrine disorders (eg, thyroiditis, pancreatitis, including stable diabetes mellitus) are NOT excluded.
  6. Chronic administration (defined as > 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressant or systemic glucocorticoids causing clinically significant immunocompromise, within 90 days prior to first study vaccination and/or third (booster) vaccination. NOTE: An immunosuppressant dose of glucocorticoid is defined as a systemic dose ≥ 20 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical, inhaled, and nasal glucocorticoids is permitted. Topical tacrolimus and ocular cyclosporin are permitted.
  7. Received immunoglobulin or blood-derived products, within 90 days prior to first study vaccination and/or third (booster) vaccination.
  8. Active cancer (malignancy) on chemotherapy that is judged to cause clinically significant immunocompromise within 1 year prior to first study vaccination (with the exception of malignancy cured via excision, at the discretion of the investigator). This criterion is not applicable to participants diagnosed during participation in this trial who accept participation in the Booster Amendment.
  9. Any known allergies to products contained in the investigational product.
  10. Participants who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant within 3 months following last study vaccination.
  11. 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 trial vaccine or interpretation of study results.
  12. Study team member or first-degree relative of any study team member (inclusive of Sponsor, and study site personnel involved in the study).
  13. Current participation in any other COVID-19 prevention clinical trial.
  14. Adult participants who have not received a full dose of any authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine and are unable to provide valid documentation of vaccination will be excluded from the Booster Amendment.

Adult and adolescent participants meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the substudy:

  1. History of laboratory-confirmed (by PCR or other antigen testing) COVID-19 infection ≤ 4 months prior to entering the substudy.
  2. Known to be clinically significantly immunocompromised.
  3. Received immunoglobulin, blood-derived products, or immunosuppressant drugs within 90 days prior to entering substudy.
  4. Participants who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant prior to the end of substudy.
  5. History of confirmed myocarditis and/or pericarditis since enrollment to the parent study.
  6. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose a health risk to the participant, interfere with protocol compliance or interfere with evaluation of the trial vaccine.
  7. 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 substudy).
