摘要
目的:关于联合接种两种疫苗是否会导致较差的免疫原性和反应原性,目前存在相互矛盾的证据。此前尚未对 Novavax 公司生产的 Omicron 适应型 COVID-19 疫苗(NVX-CoV2601)和 20 价肺炎球菌结合疫苗(PCV20)的联合接种进行过研究:在这项随机、双盲、安慰剂对照、非劣效性试验中,年龄≥60岁的免疫功能正常者按1:1:1:1的比例被随机分为四组:NVX-CoV2601加PCV20(联合组);NVX-CoV2601加安慰剂(仅NVX组);PCV20加安慰剂(仅PCV20组);或安慰剂加安慰剂(安慰剂组)。主要结果是,与纯 NVX 组相比,联合组在第 28 天时的 Omicron 特异性抗尖头蛋白 IgG ELISA 单位。如果几何平均滴度比的双侧 95% CI 的下限高于 0.67 的非劣效边际,则确定为非劣效性。次要结果包括抗肺炎球菌球囊多糖(PCP)IgG ELISA 单位。疫苗接种后 7 天内收集了局部和全身不良反应。该研究已在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册,注册号为 NCT05767606,并在欧盟临床试验注册中心注册,注册号为 EudraCT 2022-004118-12:所有 256 名随机参与者均完成了研究。四组参与者的基线特征相似。总体而言,中位年龄为 64 岁(IQR 61 至 69),256 名参与者中有 105 名男性(41%)。第28天时,联合组的几何平均抗尖峰蛋白IgG ELISA单位为534U/mL(95% CI 432-660),纯NVX组为556U/mL(95% CI 460-672),几何平均滴度比为0.96(95% CI 0.73-1.27),因此符合非劣效性标准。第28天时,联合组的抗五氯酚钠IgG ELISA单位为507U/mL(95% CI 416-619),纯PCV20组为592U/mL(95% CI 485-723)。三个活性治疗组的局部和全身反应性相似。未发现安全问题或严重不良事件:结论:NVX-CoV2601与PCV20联合用药后的免疫原性并不比单独使用NVX-CoV2601差。考虑到相似的安全性和致病反应,我们的研究结果可能有助于克服对同时接种疫苗的担忧,并为联合疫苗的开发铺平道路:Novavax.
Immunogenicity, safety, and reactogenicity of concomitant administration of the novavax vaccine against Omicron XBB.1.5 (NVX-CoV2601) and a 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in adults aged ≥60 years: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority trial.
Objectives: There is conflicting evidence as to whether the combined administration of two vaccines can lead to poorer immunogenicity and reactogenicity. The co-administration of the Omicron-adapted COVID-19 vaccine from Novavax (NVX-CoV2601) and a 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) has not been previously investigated.
Methods: In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority trial, immunocompetent participants aged ≥60 years were randomised in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to four groups: NVX-CoV2601 plus PCV20 (combination group); NVX-CoV2601 plus placebo (NVX-only group); PCV20 plus placebo (PCV20-only group); or placebo plus placebo (placebo group). The primary outcome was Omicron-specific anti-spike protein IgG ELISA units at day 28 in the combination group compared with the NVX-only group. Non-inferiority was established if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI of the geometric mean titre ratio was above the non-inferiority margin of 0.67. Secondary outcomes included anti-pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PCP) IgG ELISA units. Solicited local and systemic adverse events were collected for 7 days after vaccination. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT05767606, and the EU Clinical Trials Register, EudraCT number 2022-004118-12.
Results: All 256 randomised participants completed the study. The baseline characteristics were similar in the four groups. Overall, the median age was 64 (IQR 61 to 69) and 105 (41%) of 256 were male. At day 28, the geometric mean anti-spike protein IgG ELISA units were 534 U/mL (95% CI 432-660) in the combination group and 556 U/mL (95% CI 460-672) in the NVX-only group, resulting in a geometric mean titre ratio of 0.96 (95% CI 0.73-1.27), thereby meeting the criteria for non-inferiority. Anti-PCP IgG ELISA units at day 28 were 507 U/mL (95% CI 416-619) in the combination group and 592 U/mL (95% CI 485-723) in the PCV20-only group. Local and systemic reactogenicity was similar in the three active treatment groups. No safety concerns or serious adverse events were observed.
Conclusions: Immunogenicity following co-administration of NVX-CoV2601 with PCV20 was non-inferior to administration of NVX-CoV2601 alone. Given the similar safety and reactogenicity profile, our findings may help to overcome concerns about concomitant vaccination and pave the way for combination vaccines.
