To Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy and Immunogenicity of BNT162b2 Boosting Strategies Against COVID-19 in Participants ≥12 Years of Age.

October 24, 2025 updated by: BioNTech SE

A PHASE 3 MASTER PROTOCOL TO EVALUATE ADDITIONAL DOSE(S) OF BNT162B2 IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS PREVIOUSLY VACCINATED WITH BNT162B2

Substudy A: The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a booster dose of BNT162b2 when administered to participants having previously received 2 doses of BNT162b2 at least 6 months prior to randomization.

The study is designed to describe vaccine efficacy of a booster dose of BNT162b2 over time against COVID-19

  • At a dose of 30µg (as studied in the Phase 2/3 study C4591001)
  • In healthy adults 16 years of age and older
  • The duration of the study for each participant will be up to approximately 12 months.
  • The study will be conducted in the United States, Brazil and South Africa

Substudy B: The study will assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of BNT162b2 as compared to placebo control, through the potential analysis of serum troponin levels, in participants ≥12 and ≤30 years of age who have received 2 or 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 (30-µg doses) with their last dose at least 4 months (120 days) prior to randomization.

  • Blood samples will be collected for troponin testing
  • The duration of the study for each participant will be up to approximately 2 months.
  • The study will be conducted in the United States, Germany, Poland and South Africa

Substudy C: The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a booster (third) dose of BNT162b2 at doses of 10 µg or 30 µg in participants who have completed a 2-dose primary series of BNT162b2 (30 µg doses) at least 5 months (150 days) prior to randomization.

  • In healthy adults 12 years of age and older
  • The duration of the study for each participant will be up to approximately 12 months.
  • The study will be conducted in the United States, Germany and South Africa

Substudy D: The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a 2-dose primary series of BNT162b2 OMI, and as a booster (third, fourth or fifth) dose

  • Participants in Cohort 1 will have completed a 2-dose primary series of BNT162b2 (30-µg doses), with their last dose 90 to 240 days prior to enrolment
  • Participants in Cohort 2 will be enrolled from Study C4591001 and C4591031 Substudy A and will have completed a 2-dose primary series and received a single booster (third) dose of BNT162b2, with their last dose 90 to 180 days prior to randomization
  • Participants in Cohort 3 who are COVID-19 vaccine-naïve and have not experienced COVID-19 will be enrolled to receive 2 doses (primary series) of BNT162b2 OMI, 3 weeks apart, with a dose of BNT162b2 approximately 5 months (150 days) later. If participants do not consent to receive BNT162b2 as a third dose, they will not receive a third dose. No participants should receive BNT162b2 OMI as a third dose.

    • In healthy adults 18 to 55 years of age
    • The duration of the study for each participant will be up to approximately 12 months.
    • The study will be conducted in the United States and South Africa

Substudy E: This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of high-dose BNT162b2 (60 µg), high-dose BNT162b2 OMI (60 µg), and a high-dose combination of BNT162b2 and BNT162b2 OMI at 60 µg (30 µg each), given as a single dose

  • In healthy adults 18 years of age and older who have received 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 (30 µg) with the most recent dose being 5 to 12 months (150 to 360 days) prior to randomization
  • The duration of the study for each participant will be approximately 6 months.
  • The study will be conducted in the United States

Substudy F: This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of high-dose BNT162b2 (60 µg), high-dose BNT162b2 OMI (60 µg), and a high-dose combination of BNT162b2 and BNT162b2 OMI at 60 µg (30 µg each), given as a single dose.

  • In healthy adults 60 years of age and older who have received 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 (30 µg) with the most recent dose being ≥4 months prior to randomization
  • The duration of the study for each participant will be approximately 6 months.
  • The study will be conducted in Israel

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Substudy A

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female participants ≥16 years of age at Visit 1 (Day 1) who participated in C4591001.
  • Participants who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, vaccination plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures.
  • Healthy participants who are determined by medical history, physical examination (if required), and clinical judgment of the investigator to be eligible for inclusion in the study.
  • Capable of giving signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.
  • History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the study intervention.
  • Previous clinical (based on COVID-19 symptoms/signs alone, if a SARS-CoV-2 NAAT result was not available) or microbiological (based on COVID-19 symptoms/signs and a positive SARS-CoV-2 NAAT result) diagnosis of COVID-19.
  • Immunocompromised individuals with known or suspected immunodeficiency, as determined by history and/or laboratory/physical examination.
  • Bleeding diathesis or condition associated with prolonged bleeding that would, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicate intramuscular injection.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Individuals who receive treatment with radiotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy, including cytotoxic agents or systemic corticosteroids, eg, for cancer or an autoimmune disease, or planned receipt throughout the study.
  • Receipt of blood/plasma products, immunoglobulin, or monoclonal antibodies, from 60 days before study intervention administration, or receipt of any passive antibody therapy specific to COVID-19, from 90 days before study intervention administration, or planned receipt throughout the study.
  • Prior receipt of any COVID-19 vaccine other than BNT162b2.
