Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: SARS-CoV2 Infection; Covid19
• Interventions: Biological: Study-provided Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine; Biological: Community-provided Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 Vaccine; Biological: Community-Provided Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 Vaccine

• Registration Number: NCT04952402
• Lead Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in:

• People with prior COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection) who were in the ACTIV-2/A5401 study.

And

• People who have never had COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection).

Detailed Description

A5404 is a phase IV, open-label study. The objective of A5404 is to evaluate how prior investigational therapy for COVID-19 versus comparator (placebo or active comparator) affects vaccine response. The safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is also explored.

Eligible A5404 participants include: Participants of ACTIV-2/A5401 at selected sites who received an investigational therapy or its comparator; and persons without known history of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection defined as no known history of any SARS-CoV-2 positive test (non-A5401 participants). In line with our protocol, for outcome measures related to neutralizing antibodies and adverse events, we further break down the ACTIV-2/A5401 participants into two exposure groups: those who received an active therapy (AZD7442 IM or IV, BRII-196 + BRII 198 IV, SAB 185 (3,840 or 10,240 units/kg) IV, BMS 096414+BMS 986413 subcutaneous) and those who received Camostat Oral or Placebo.

Participants of ACTIV-2/A5401 received study-provided standard dosing of the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine, or a community-provided mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., Moderna or Pfizer). Participants in ACTIV-2/A5401 received their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine 60-240 days after receiving their last dose of a select ACTIV-2/A5401 investigational therapy, or its comparator. Participants without prior COVID-19 received study-provided standard dosing of the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine.

The study closed early to accrual on February 25, 2022 due to slow enrollment. Clarification Memo #1 (dated January 11, 2023) reflects decisions to discontinue follow up at study Day 365 instead of following participants to Day 730 after the first dose of vaccine and to reallocate some secondary outcome measures to exploratory outcome measures.

Cohort: ACTIV-2/A5401	Community-Provided Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 Vaccine	Participants of the ACTIV-2/A5401 randomized trial who received a select investigational (active) therapy (AZD7442 IM or IV, BRII-196 + BRII 198 IV, SAB 185 (3,840 or 10,240 units/kg) IV, BMS 096414+BMS 986413 subcutaneous, Camostat Oral) or its corresponding comparator (Placebo).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) Level	Measured 140 days after the first dose of the vaccine	NAb level was measured by using both 50% neutralizing dilution titers (ND50) and 80% neutralizing titers (ND80). A higher NAb level corresponds to a stronger immune response. For ND50 values less than lower limit of quantification (LLQ), we impute with 10 (which is ½ LLQ of 20). For ND50 values exceeding the upper limit of quantification (ULQ), we impute with 20,000 (a value suggested by the immunology lab, which is 2 times the ULQ of 10,000). For ND80, we impute similarly with 10 and 20,000. We carry forward the Day 56 NAb measurement if the Day 140 measurement is not reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Grade 1 or Higher Allergic Reaction	From first dose of the vaccine through 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine	Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1-5: 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, 5=death. AE grading was per Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events (DAIDS AE Grading Table V2.1).
Geometric Mean of Relative Change in Neutralizing Antibody Levels From Pre-vaccine to Post-vaccine by Received Vaccine	Measured before the first dose of the vaccine, and 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine	Relative change is defined as the ratio of post-vaccine NAb level/pre-vaccine NAb level by received vaccine, i.e., Moderna mRNA-1273 versus Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2. A ratio greater than one indicates an increase of NAb response for those on Moderna mRNA-1273 versus Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2. For ND50 values less than lower limit of quantification (LLQ), we impute with 10 (which is ½ LLQ of 20). For ND50 values exceeding the upper limit of quantification (ULQ), we impute with 20,000 (a value suggested by the immunology lab, which is 2 times the ULQ of 10,000). For ND80, we impute similarly with 10 and 20,000.
Proportion of Participants With New Grade 3 or Higher AE, or SAE, or AE Leading to Change or Discontinuation in Vaccine Receipt	From first dose of the vaccine through 140 days after the first dose of the vaccine	An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or diagnosis that occurs in a study participant during the conduct of the study REGARDLESS of the attribution. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is an important medical event that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.; Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1-5: 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, 5=death. AE grading was per Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events (DAIDS AE Grading Table V2.1).
Proportion of Participants With Grade 2 or Higher Injection Site Reaction	From first dose of the vaccine through 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine	Adverse events are graded on a scale from 1-5: 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, 5=death. AE grading was per Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events (DAIDS AE Grading Table V2.1).
Geometric Mean of Relative Change in Neutralizing Antibody Levels From Pre-vaccine to Post-vaccine	Measured before the first dose of the vaccine, and 56 days after the first dose of the vaccine	Relative change is defined as the ratio of post-vaccine NAb level/pre-vaccine NAb level. A ratio greater than one indicates an increase of NAb response. For ND50 values less than lower limit of quantification (LLQ), we impute with 10 (which is ½ LLQ of 20). For ND50 values exceeding the upper limit of quantification (ULQ), we impute with 20,000 (a value suggested by the immunology lab, which is 2 times the ULQ of 10,000). For ND80, we impute similarly with 10 and 20,000.
