Trial Overview

Purpose

This trial has two parts. Part A and Part B. Due to changes in the overall clinical development plan, Part B will no longer be conducted. The objectives originally described for Part B have been implemented in the ongoing development via a pivotal Phase I/II/III trial BNT162-02/C4591001 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT: 04368728). Part A is for dose ranging of four different vaccines (BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2) which will be undertaken with dose escalation and de-escalation plus the evaluation of interim dose levels. It also includes dose ranging in older participants. The vaccines BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2 will be administered using a Prime/Boost (P/B) regimen. The vaccine BNT162c2 will also be administered using a Single dose (SD) regimen. Three additional cohorts aged from 18 to 85 years receiving BNT162b2 only. BNT162b2 has entered a Phase II/III evaluation of efficacy, with the intent to support an application for marketing authorization. The dosing regimen under investigation is two BNT162b2 doses given ~21 d apart.

Comments

According to a Pfizer media release, the company along with BioNTech SE today announced that two of the company's vaccine candidates from their BNT162 mRNA-based vaccine program (BNT162b1 and BNT162b2) being developed to help protect against SARS-CoV-2, received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This designation was granted based on preliminary data from Phase 1/2 studies ongoing in the United States and Germany as well as animal immunogenicity studies.

Results

Immunogenicity

Results from a phase I/II trial demonstrated that abdavomeran elicited receptor binding domain (RBD) binding IgG concentrations after the second dose, compared to baseline. SARS-CoV-2 neutralising geometric mean titers were in the range of 0.7-fold (1 µg) to 3.2-fold (50 µg) compared to that of a panel of SARS-CoV-2 infection convalescent human sera, at day 43. Furthermore, sera of vaccinated subjects displayed broadly neutralising activity in pseudovirus neutralizstion assays across a panel of sixteen SARS-CoV-2 RBD variants represented in publicly available SARS-CoV-2 sequences and against the newly dominant D614G strain. In addition, BNT 162 showed a concurrent induction of high level CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. There was no clear dose level dependency of the T cell response between 1µg to 50µg, indicating that stimulation and robust expansion of T cells might be accomplished at low mRNA dose levels. All participants in the prime-boost cohorts, except for two at the lowest dose level, had CD4+ T cell responses. Cytokine profiling of the RBD-specific CD4+ T cells demonstrated a TH1-dominant profile for these cells. During the study, 29 of the 36 tested participants also mounted an RBD-specific functional, CD8+ T cell response that was comparable to memory responses observed against cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and influenza virus [2] .

Updated results from phase I/II trial demonstrated combined adaptive humoral and cellular immune response against SARS-CoV-2 and induced T cell immunity. Vaccination with tozinameran showed newly generated spike protein-specific CD4+ T cell responses with almost 92% of participants demonstrated CD8+ T cell responses. Most of the vaccinated participants elicited robust expansion of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells even with lowest dose of 1 µg. Vaccination with tozinameran showed expression of cytokines, interferon and interleukin-2, however demonstrated low levels of interleukin-4 in tozinameran-induced CD4+ T cells indicated a TH1 profile. Tozinameran showed CD8+ T cell response against multiple region of spike proteins and against multiple epitopes of the virus. Induced T cell response was comparable or significantly higher than memory responses of the same individuals against common viruses, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and the influenza virus. Vaccine also gave protection against pseudo-viruses representing 19 diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants [3] . Earlier results from the trial in patients receiving tozinameran demonstrated strong immunogenicity in younger and older adults. Treatment with tozinameran showed 3.8 times geometric mean titters (GMT) of 38 sera of SARS-CoV2 convalescent patients in younger adult (18-55 years of age) and 1.6 times the GMT of same panel in older adult (65-85 year of age) after 7 days of treatment. In both younger and older adults, BNT162b1 and tozinameran elicited similar dose-dependent SARS-CoV-2–neutralizing antibody GMTs, which were substantially elevated after the second dose, showing clear benefit of a 2-dose regimen. The 50% GMT for BNT 162b2 and BNT 162b1 at the 30µg dose on day 28 or day 35 was 1.7 to 4.6 times for subjects aged 18-55 years, and was 1.1 to 2.2 times for subjects aged 65-85 years, than the GMT of a panel of SARS-CoV-2 human convalescent sera. Although both vaccine candidates elicited lower antigen-binding IgG and neutralizing responses in older adults (65 to 85 years of age), compared to younger adults (18 to 55 years of age), the neutralizing antibody GMTs measured 7 days after Dose 2 of 30µg of BNT162b1 or tozinameran in participants 65 to 85 years old were comparable to or higher than the GMT of a panel of SARS-CoV-2 convalescent sera from 38 patients (18 to 83 years of age) who had contracted SARS-CoV-2. Vaccination with tozinameran in human participants displayed a favorable breadth of epitopes recognised in T cell responses specific to the SARS-CoV-2 spike antigen, as compared to the BNT162b1 candidate. Also, vaccination with tozinameran demonstrated high induction of high CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses against the receptor binding domain and against the remainder of the spike glycoprotein that is not contained in the BNT162b1 vaccine candidate [4] .
