COVID19 Clinical Trials in Rochester, NY

This is an exploratory Phase I, randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, dose-escalation trial to evaluate four dose levels (DLs) of BNT162b4 given in combination with BNT162b2 Bivalent (original/Omicron BA.4/BA.5) to select a safe and tolerable dose and to evaluate BNT162b4 + BNT162b2 Bivalent (original/Omicron BA.4/BA.5) when given as Dose 1 and Dose 2 (booster) in Cohorts 1 and 2 and BNT162b4 + BNT162b2 Monovalent (OMI XBB.1.5) when given as Dose 2 (booster) in Cohorts 3a, 3b, 4a, and 4b, and 30 μg BNT162b4 when given alone as Dose 1 and Dose 2 in Cohort 5. The trial will use a staggered dosing process schema, i.e., enrollment into the next higher dose level is done sequentially and subject to safety data from the previous dose levels, with sentinel participants in Cohorts 1, 2, 3a, and 4a. Cohort 3b investigating the same dose level as cohort 3a but in participants aged >55 years will be opened after safety data for participants aged 18-55 years in Cohort 3a has been reviewed. Enrollment into Cohorts 4a and 4b will be opened after safety data for Cohort 3a and 3b has been reviewed. Cohort 5 participants will not be randomized and will receive two doses of BNT162b4 alone after which a safety review will be performed after all participants have received Dose 2 in this cohort. BNT162b4 plus BNT162b2 Bivalent (original/Omicron BA.4/BA.5)/Monovalent (OMI XBB.1.5) will be co-administered (as a single injection). BNT162b4 alone will be administered as a single injection.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, extent of the side effects, and immune responses of the study vaccine (called variant-adapted BNT162b2 RNA-based vaccine) in healthy children. The trial is divided into 5 individual studies or substudies based on age group and prior history of COVID-19 vaccinations. All participants in each of the 5 sub-studies will receive study vaccine as a shot depending on what group they are in. Substudy A design: Phase 1 includes participants 6 months through less than 4 years 3 months of age who have not received a previous coronavirus vaccination (COVID-19 vaccine naïve) and will receive 3 doses of study vaccine as their initial series, followed by a fourth dose of study vaccine. Phase 2/3 includes participants 6 months through less than 5 years of age who have not received a previous coronavirus vaccination (COVID-19 vaccine naive) and will receive 1, 2, or 3 doses of study vaccine, depending on what group they are in. Substudy B design: includes participants 6 months through less than 5 years of age who have either received 2 or 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 and will receive study vaccine as their third or fourth dose. Substudy C design: Phase 1 includes participants 6 months through less than 5 years of age who have received 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 and will receive study vaccine as their fourth dose. Substudy D design: includes participants 5 through less than12 years of age who have received 2 or 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 and will receive study vaccine as their third or fourth dose. Substudy E design: includes participants 2 through less than 12 years of age who have not received a previous coronavirus vaccination (COVID-19 vaccine naive) and will receive a single dose of study vaccine.

The goal of this project is to rapidly screen promising agents, in the setting of an adaptive platform trial, for treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients. In this phase 2 platform design, agents will be identified with a signal suggesting a big impact on reducing mortality and the need for, as well as duration, of mechanical ventilation. Read Less
