Immunogenicity of mRNA vs. BBV152 vaccine boosters against Omicron subvariants: Final results from Phase B of the PRIBIVAC study, a randomized clinical trial.
BBV152 (Covaxin™) is a whole-virion inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine mixed with an immune adjuvant. We aimed to compare immune responses after booster vaccination with heterologous BBV152 versus homologous mRNA vaccine.
We conducted a randomized, participant-blinded, controlled trial. Fifty mRNA-vaccinated participants were enrolled and randomized to receive an mRNA booster (n = 26) or BBV152 (n = 24). Blood samples were collected pre-vaccination, and at Day 7, 28, 180 and 360 post-booster for analysis of humoral and cellular immune responses. Primary end point was the SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibody titer at day 28.
Recruitment began in January 2022 and was terminated early due to the BBV152 group meeting pre-specified criteria for futility. At Day 28 post-boost, mean SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody titers were lower with BBV152 (2004 IU/mL; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1132-3548) vs mRNA (26,669 IU/mL; 95 % CI, 21,330-33,266; p < 0.0001), but comparable levels of spike-specific CD4 and cytotoxic T-cells were observed. Anti-spike antibody titers remained significantly different at Day 180: BBV152 4467 IU/mL (95 % CI, 1959-10,186) vs mRNA 20,749 IU/mL (95 % CI, 12,303-35,075; p = 0.0017). Levels of surrogate virus neutralizing antibodies against ancestral and Omicron subvariants BA.1 and BA.2 were significantly higher among mRNA recipients at Day 180, including after adjusting for intercurrent infection. By Day 360, anti-spike antibody titers and neutralizing antibody levels against Omicron subvariants became similar between vaccine groups. By the end of the study, 16 in each arm (mRNA 64 % and BBV152 69.6 %) had breakthrough infections and time to COVID-19 infection between vaccine groups were similar (p = 0.63).
Wild-type SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibody titer and surrogate virus neutralizing test levels against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and Omicron subvariants BA.1/BA.2/BA.5 were significantly higher at Day 28 and 180 in individuals who received booster vaccination with an mRNA vaccine compared with BBV152.

First SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection as an effective immune booster among mRNA vaccinated individuals: final results from the first phase of the PRIBIVAC randomised clinical trial.
Understanding how SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections impacts the breadth of immune responses against existing and pre-emergent SARS-CoV-2 strains is needed to develop an evidence-based long-term immunisation strategy.
We performed a randomised, controlled trial to assess the immunogenicity of homologous (BNT162b2) versus heterologous (mRNA-1273) booster vaccination in 100 BNT162b2-vaccinated infection-naïve individuals enrolled from October 2021. Post hoc analysis was performed to assess the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on humoral and cellular immune responses against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and/or Omicron subvariants.
93 participants completed the study at day 360. 71% (66/93) of participants reported first SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection by the end of the study with similar proportions of infections between homologous and heterologous booster groups (72.3% [34/47] vs 69.6% [32/46]; p = 0.82). Mean wildtype SARS-CoV-2 anti-S-RBD antibody level was significantly higher in heterologous booster group compared with homologous group at day 180 (14,588 IU/mL; 95% CI, 10,186-20,893 vs 7447 IU/mL; 4646-11,912; p = 0.025). Participants who experienced breakthrough infections during the Omicron BA.1/2 wave had significantly higher anti-S-RBD antibody levels against wildtype SARS-CoV-2 and antibody neutralisation against BA.1 and pre-emergent BA.5 compared with infection-naïve participants. Regardless of hybrid immunity status, wildtype SARS-CoV-2 anti-S-RBD antibody level declined significantly after six months post-booster or post-SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Booster vaccination with mRNA-1273 was associated with significantly higher antibody levels compared with BNT162b2. Antibody responses are narrower and decline faster among uninfected, vaccinated individuals. Boosters may be more effective if administered shortly before infection outbreaks and at least six months after last infection or booster.

Immunogenicity and safety of a bivalent (omicron BA.5 plus ancestral) SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein vaccine as a heterologous booster dose: interim analysis of a phase 3, non-inferiority, randomised, clinical trial.
SARS-CoV-2 variants evade immunity despite vaccination with prototype COVID-19 vaccines or previous infection. The 2019nCoV-311 (part 2) study is evaluating immune responses after two booster doses of a vaccine containing the omicron BA.5 subvariant spike protein in adults previously vaccinated with a prototype mRNA vaccine. This interim analysis reports on day 28 immunogenicity and safety outcomes after one booster dose.
In this phase 3, randomised, observer-blinded study conducted at 35 sites in Australia, medically stable, previously COVID-19-vaccinated (mRNA-based; ≥three doses) adults aged 18 years or older were enrolled and randomly allocated (1:1:1; via an interactive web response system) to receive two doses of bivalent (NVX-CoV2373 + NVX-CoV2540; bivalent group), authorised prototype (NVX-CoV2373; prototype group), or BA.5 (NVX-CoV2540; BA.5 group) vaccine. Only blinded personnel performed study assessments or had participant contact to collect data after study vaccination. Participants received vaccines containing 5 μg SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein and 50 μg Matrix-M adjuvant, administered via a 0·5 mL intramuscular injection (2·5 μg of NVX-CoV2373 plus 2·5 μg of NVX-CoV2540 for the bivalent vaccine, prepared on-site as a 1:1 mixture). The coprimary endpoints include day 28 neutralising antibody geometric mean titre (GMT) ratios (GMTRs) to omicron BA.5 and the ancestral strain, and seroresponse rates to BA.5, in the bivalent and prototype groups. These endpoints were calculated in the per-protocol analysis set, which was defined as participants who had received a vaccine dose, had baseline and day 28 immunogenicity data, and were PCR-negative for SARS-CoV-2, with no major protocol deviations. The primary objective was to determine the primary outcome (antibody responses), which consisted of three comparisons: superiority of the bivalent versus prototype vaccine for neutralising antibody GMT to BA.5 (ie, lower bound of the GMTR 95% CI >1·0); non-inferiority of neutralising antibody seroresponse rate to BA.5 (ie, lower bound of the seroresponse rate 95% CI >-5%); and non-inferiority of neutralising antibody GMT to the ancestral strain (ie, lower bound of GMTR 95% CI >0·67). This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT05372588.
Between March 22, 2023 and May 2, 2023, 837 participants were screened for eligibility and 766 were randomly allocated to receive the BA.5 (n=255), prototype (n=252), or bivalent (n=259) vaccine. After accounting for exclusions due to participants being baseline SARS-CoV-2-positive, having previous infection, or protocol deviations, the per-protocol analysis set included 694 participants (236 in BA.5 group, 227 in prototype group, and 231 in bivalent group). In this interim analysis (maximum follow-up 35 days after the first dose), the bivalent group, compared with the prototype group, had superior neutralising antibody responses to BA.5 (GMT 1017·8 [95% CI 891·0-1162·6] vs 515·1 [450·4-589·0]; GMTR 2·0 [1·69-2·33]) and a non-inferior seroresponse rate to BA.5 at day 28 (39·8% [33·5-46·5] vs 12·3% [8·4-17·3]; difference 27·5% [19·8-35·0]). The bivalent group also had non-inferior neutralising antibody responses to the ancestral strain (GMTR 1·0 [0·84-1·20]), compared with the prototype group. All vaccines were similarly well tolerated.
All three coprimary endpoints were met in part 2 of the ongoing 2019nCoV-311 study. These data support the development of monovalent and/or bivalent vaccines for the most currently circulating variants, to optimise protection. With no new safety findings, further investigation of omicron-based subvariant vaccines is supported by the evidence.
