Brief Summary

The primary objectives of the study are:

To assess the safety profile of the study vaccines in each study intervention group.

To assess the neutralizing antibody profile after primary series vaccination in SARS-CoV-2-naïve adults.

To demonstrate that a booster dose of monovalent or bivalent SARS-CoV-2 vaccine given to adults previously vaccinated with an authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine induces an immune response that is non-inferior to the response induced by a twodose priming series with the monovalent vaccine, and superior to that observed immediately before booster.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

To assess the neutralizing and binding antibody profiles after primary series vaccination at pre-defined time points during the study.

To assess the neutralizing and binding antibody responses of booster vaccination.

To describe the occurrences of laboratory-confirmed symptomatic COVID19 after primary series and booster vaccination.

To describe the occurrences of serologically-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection after primary series vaccination.

Detailed Description

The duration of each participant's participation in the study will be approximately:

Original Phase 2 part: 365 days postinjection 2 (ie, 386 days total). Supplemental Cohorts 1 and 2: 365 days post-booster injection (ie, 366 days total).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Cohorts 1, 2 and Comparator): Number of Participants With Immediate Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 30 minutes after each vaccination (Phase 2: Postdose on Days 1 and 22; Phase 3: Between 4 to 10 months after priming vaccine)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Immediate events were recorded to capture medically relevant unsolicited systemic AEs which occurred within the first 30 minutes after vaccination. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, that is, pre-listed in the case report form (CRF) in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination.

Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Cohorts 1, 2 and Comparator): Number of Participants With Solicited Injection Site Reactions and Systemic ReactionsUp to 7 days after each vaccination (Phase 2: Postdose on Days 1 and 22; Phase 3: Between 4 to 10 months after priming vaccine)

A solicited reaction was an "expected" adverse reaction (AR) (sign or symptom) observed and reported under the conditions (nature and onset) pre-listed in the protocol and CRF, and were considered to be related to the study vaccine administered. An injection site reaction was an AR at and around the injection site of the study vaccine. Systemic AR were all ARs that were not injection site reactions.

Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Cohorts 1, 2 and Comparator): Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse EventsUp to 21 days after each vaccination (Phase 2: Postdose on Days 1 and 22; Phase 3: Between 4 to 10 months after priming vaccine)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, that is, pre-listed in the CRF in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination.

Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Cohorts 1, 2 and Comparator): Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) and Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)Phase 2 and Phase 3 Comparator: From first dose of study vaccine administration (Day 1) up to 387 days. Phase 3 Cohorts 1 and 2: From first dose of study vaccine administration (Day 1) up to 366 days.

An SAE was defined as any AE that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. An AESI (serious or non-serious) was 1 of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's study intervention or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor could be appropriate. An MAAE was a new onset or a worsening of a condition that prompted the participant or participant's parent/guardian to seek unplanned medical advice at a physician's office or Emergency Department.
