Los preprints son informes de investigación preliminares que no han sido certificados por revisión por pares. No deben considerarse para guiar la práctica clínica o los comportamientos relacionados con la salud y no deben publicarse en los medios como información establecida.
Los preprints publicados en línea permiten a los autores recibir comentarios rápidamente, y toda la comunidad científica puede evaluar de forma independiente el trabajo y responder adecuadamente. Estos comentarios se publican junto con los preprints para que cualquiera pueda leer y servir como una revisión pospublicación.

ABSTRACT
BackgroundEmerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and evidence of waning vaccine efficacy present significant obstacles toward controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Booster doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines may address these concerns by both amplifying and broadening the immune responses seen with initial vaccination regimens. MethodsIn a phase 2 study, a single booster dose of a SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant (NVX-CoV2373) was administered to healthy adult participants 18 to 84 years of age approximately 6 months following their primary two-dose vaccination series. Safety and immunogenicity parameters were assessed, including assays for IgG, MN50, and hACE2 receptor binding inhibition against the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain and select variants (B.1.351 [Beta], B.1.1.7 [Alpha], B.1.617.2 [Delta], and B.1.1.529 [Omicron]). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04368988. FindingsAn incremental increase in the incidence of solicited local and systemic reactogenicity events was observed with subsequent vaccinations. Following the booster, incidence rates of local and systemic reactions were 82.5% (13.4% [≥] Grade 3) and 76.5% (15.3% [≥] Grade 3), respectively, compared to 70.0% (5.2% [≥] Grade 3) and 52.8% (5.6% [≥] Grade 3), respectively, following the primary vaccination series. Events were primarily mild or moderate in severity and transient in nature, with a median duration of 1.0 to 2.5 days. Immune responses seen 14 days following the primary vaccination series were compared with those observed 28 days following the booster (Day 35 and Day 217, respectively). For the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain, serum IgG geometric mean titers (GMTs) increased [~]4.7-fold from 43,905 ELISA units (EU) at day 35 to 204,367 EU at Day 217. Neutralization (MN50) assay GMTs showed a similar increase of [~]4.1-fold from 1,470 at day 35 to 6,023 at Day 217. A functional hACE2 receptor binding inhibition assay analyzing activity against ancestral and variant strains of SARS-CoV-2 at Day 189 vs Day 217 found 54.4-fold (Ancestral), 21.9-fold (Alpha), 24.5-fold (Beta), 24.4-fold (Delta), and 20.1-fold (Omicron) increases in titers. An anti-rS IgG activity assay comparing the same time points across the same SARS-CoV-2 strains found titers improved 61.2-fold, 85.9-fold, 65.0-fold, 92.5-fold, and 73.5-fold, respectively. InterpretationAdministration of a booster dose of NVX-CoV2373 approximately 6 months following the primary vaccination series resulted in an incremental increase in reactogenicity along with enhanced immune responses. For both the prototype strain and all variants evaluated, immune responses following the booster were notably higher than those associated with high levels of efficacy in phase 3 studies of the vaccine.
