METHODS: Participants were randomized to BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, 30 µg) or messenger RNA (mRNA)-1273 (Spikevax, 100 µg). The primary end point was the rate of two-fold antibody titer increase 14 days after vaccination, targeting the receptor binding domain (RBD) region of wild-type SARS-CoV-2. The secondary end points included changes in neutralizing activity against wild-type and 25 variants. Safety was assessed by monitoring solicited adverse events (AEs) for 7 days.
RESULTS: A total of 269 participants (mean age 81 years, mRNA-1273 n = 135/BNT162b2 n = 134) were included. Two-fold anti-RBD immunoglobulin (Ig) G titer increase was achieved by 101 of 129 (78%) and 116 of 133 (87%) subjects in the BNT162b2 and the mRNA-1273 group, respectively (P = 0.054). A second booster of mRNA-1273 provided higher anti-RBD IgG geometric mean titer: 21.326 IU/mL (95% confidence interval: 18.235-24.940) vs BNT162b2: 15.181 IU/mL (95% confidence interval: 13.172-17.497). A higher neutralizing activity was noted for the mRNA-1273 group. The most frequent AE was pain at the injection site (51% in mRNA-1273 and 48% in BNT162b2). Participants in the mRNA-1273 group had less vaccine-related AEs (30% vs 39%).
CONCLUSIONS: A second booster of either BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 provided substantial IgG increase. Full-dose mRNA-1273 provided higher IgG levels and neutralizing capacity against SARS-CoV-2, with similar safety profile for subjects of advanced age.
结果:269名参与者(平均年龄81岁,包括mRNA-1273n=135/BNT162b2n=134)。在BNT162b2和mRNA-1273组中,101/129(78%)和116/133(87%)受试者获得了2倍的抗RBDIgG滴度增加,分别(p=0.054)。mRNA-1273的第二个加强剂提供了更高的抗RBDIgG几何平均滴度:21.326IU/mL(95%-CI:18.235;24.940)与BNT162b2:15.181IU/mL(95%-CI:13.172;17.497)。对于mRNA-1273组,注意到更高的中和活性。最常见的AE是注射部位的疼痛(mRNA-1273为51%,BNT162b2为48%)。mRNA-1273组的参与者的疫苗相关AE较少(30%vs.39%)。
结论:BNT162b2或mRNA-1273的第二加强剂提供显著的IgG增加。对于高龄受试者,全剂量mRNA-1273提供了更高的IGG水平和抗SARS-CoV-2的中和能力,具有相似的安全性。
