Abstract
Background
Seasonal (2023–2024) COVID-19 vaccine recommendations included updates against Omicron XBB.1.5. NVX-CoV2601 contains XBB.1.5 recombinant spike (rS) protein, Matrix-M® adjuvant, and is based on authorized prototype vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) technology. Immunogenicity and safety outcomes 6 months after vaccination following a single dose of monovalent NVX-CoV2601 in previously vaccinated and vaccine-naive, SARS-CoV-2–seropositive participants aged ≥18 years are reported here.
Methods
The phase 2/3 open-label, single-arm 2019nCoV-313 study consisted of two parts (part 1: participants with ≥3 prior mRNA vaccines; part 2: unvaccinated participants with a clinical history of COVID-19). Participants received a single dose of NVX-CoV2601. Primary endpoint analyses through day 28 were previously published. This final analysis assessed immunogenicity and safety through the end of the study (day 180). Immunogenicity data (e.g., neutralizing antibodies [nAbs] and anti-rS IgG antibodies) were summarized using geometric mean antibody levels and fold rise and seroresponse rate (SRR).
Results
The safety analysis set included 332 participants in part 1 and 338 participants in part 2. In previously vaccinated participants, nAb geometric mean titers (GMTs; 95% CIs) were 120.7 (101.5–143.6) at day 0, increased to 955.5 (814.0–1121.4) at day 28, and decreased to 454.8 (382.9–540.3) at day 180. SRR decreased from 64.3% at day 28 to 41.1% at day 180. Similar results were seen in vaccine-naive, SARS-CoV-2–seropositive participants, with GMTs of 67.0 (56.6–79.3), 1296.7 (1082.6–1553.2), and 303.6 (258.5–356.4) at day 0, 28, and 180, respectively. SRR waned from 74.3% at day 28 to 45.0% at day 180. Anti-rS IgG responses similarly increased at day 28 and had moderate decreases at day 180 in both groups. No new safety signals were reported.
Conclusions
A single dose of NVX-CoV2601 showed robust, durable immunogenicity in adult participants from study 2019nCoV-313 parts 1 and 2. These data support the use of NVX-CoV2601 in both populations.
