COMIRNATY COVID-19 VACCIN 30mcg / dose concentrate for injection dispersion medication leaflet

J07BX03 COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (with modified nucleosides) • Antiinfectives for systemic use | Viral vaccines | Other viral vaccines

mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (with modified nucleosides) are used to prevent infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. These vaccines contain a fragment of messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes the virus's spike protein. After administration, host cells use the mRNA to produce the spike protein, which stimulates the immune system to generate an immune response, including specific antibodies.

mRNA vaccines are administered intramuscularly, usually in two doses, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, depending on the manufacturer. They are recommended for all eligible age groups, including individuals at high risk of severe COVID-19 complications.

Common side effects include pain at the injection site, fatigue, fever, muscle aches, and headaches. In rare cases, severe adverse reactions such as myocarditis, pericarditis, or allergic reactions may occur.

mRNA COVID-19 vaccines represent a major innovation in vaccinology, providing effective protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and reducing the severity of the disease and associated complications.

General recommendations
Hypersensitivity and anaphylaxis

Events of anaphylaxis have been reported. Appropriate medical treatment and supervision shouldalways be readily available in case of an anaphylactic reaction following the administration of thevaccine.

Close observation for at least 15 minutes is recommended following vaccination. No further dose ofthe vaccine should be given to those who have experienced anaphylaxis after a prior dose of

Comirnaty.

Myocarditis and pericarditis

There is an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with Comirnaty. Theseconditions can develop within just a few days after vaccination and have primarily occurred within14 days. They have been observed more often after the second vaccination, and more often in youngermales (see section 4.8). Available data indicate that most cases recover. Some cases required intensivecare support and fatal cases have been observed.

Healthcare professionals should be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis.

Vaccinees (including parents or caregivers) should be instructed to seek immediate medical attentionif they develop symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis such as (acute and persisting) chestpain, shortness of breath, or palpitations following vaccination.

Healthcare professionals should consult guidance and/or specialists to diagnose and treat thiscondition.

Anxiety-related reactions

Anxiety-related reactions, including vasovagal reactions (syncope), hyperventilation or stress‐relatedreactions (e.g. dizziness, palpitations, increases in heart rate, alterations in blood pressure,paraesthesia, hypoaesthesia and sweating) may occur in association with the vaccination process itself.

Stress-related reactions are temporary and resolve on their own. Individuals should be advised to bringsymptoms to the attention of the vaccination provider for evaluation. It is important that precautionsare in place to avoid injury from fainting.

Concurrent illness

Vaccination should be postponed in individuals suffering from acute severe febrile illness or acuteinfection. The presence of a minor infection and/or low-grade fever should not delay vaccination.

Thrombocytopenia and coagulation disorders

As with other intramuscular injections, the vaccine should be given with caution in individualsreceiving anticoagulant therapy or those with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder (such ashaemophilia) because bleeding or bruising may occur following an intramuscular administration inthese individuals.

Immunocompromised individuals

Safety and immunogenicity have been assessed in a limited number of immunocompromisedindividuals, including those receiving immunosuppressant therapy (see sections 4.8 and 5.1). Theefficacy of Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 may be lower in immunocompromised individuals.

Duration of protection

The duration of protection afforded by the vaccine is unknown as it is still being determined byongoing clinical trials.

Limitations of vaccine effectiveness

As with any vaccine, vaccination with Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 may not protect all vaccinerecipients. Individuals may not be fully protected until 7 days after their vaccination.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 30 micrograms/dose dispersion for injection may be administeredconcomitantly with seasonal influenza vaccine.

In individuals 18 years of age and older, Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 may be administeredconcomitantly with a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV).

In individuals 18 years of age and older, Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 may be administeredconcomitantly with an unadjuvanted recombinant protein respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine.

In individuals 65 years of age and older, Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 may be administeredconcomitantly with an unadjuvanted recombinant protein RSV vaccine and a high dose influenzavaccine.

Different injectable vaccines should be administered at different injection sites.

Concomitant administration of Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 10 micrograms/dose dispersion forinjection with other vaccines has not been studied.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

No data are available yet regarding the use of Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 during pregnancy.

However, there are limited clinical study data (less than 300 pregnancy outcomes) from the use of

Comirnaty in pregnant participants. A large amount of observational data from pregnant womenvaccinated with the initially approved Comirnaty vaccine during the second and third trimester havenot shown an increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes. While data on pregnancy outcomes followingvaccination during the first trimester are presently limited, no increased risk for miscarriage has beenseen. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy,embryo/foetal development, parturition or post-natal development (see section 5.3). Based on dataavailable with other vaccine variants, Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 can be used during pregnancy.

Breast-feeding

No data are available yet regarding the use of Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 during breast-feeding.

However, no effects on the breastfed newborn/infant are anticipated since the systemic exposure ofbreast-feeding woman to the vaccine is negligible. Observational data from women who werebreast-feeding after vaccination with the initially approved Comirnaty vaccine have not shown a riskfor adverse effects in breastfed newborns/infants. Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 can be used duringbreast-feeding.

Fertility

Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity(see section 5.3).

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

However, some of the effects mentioned under section 4.8 may temporarily affect the ability to driveor use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

In Study 4, a placebo-controlled booster study, participants 16 years of age and older recruited from

Study 2 received a booster dose of Comirnaty (5 081 participants), or placebo (5 044 participants) atleast 6 months after the second dose of Comirnaty. Overall, participants who received a booster dose,had a median follow-up time of 2.8 months (range 0.3 to 7.5 months) after the booster dose in theblinded placebo-controlled follow-up period to the cut-off date (8 February 2022). Of these,1 281 participants (895 Comirnaty and 386 placebo) have been followed for ≥ 4 months after thebooster dose of Comirnaty. No new adverse reactions of Comirnaty were identified.

A subset from Study 2 Phase 2/3 participants of 825 adolescents 12 to 15 years of age who completedthe original Comirnaty 2-dose course, received a booster dose of Comirnaty approximately11.2 months (range of 6.3 to 20.1 months) after receiving Dose 2. Overall, participants who received abooster dose, had a median follow-up time of 9.5 months (range 1.5 to 10.7 months) based on data upto the cut-off date (3 November 2022). No new adverse reactions of Comirnaty were identified.

Participants 12 years of age and older - after subsequent booster doses

The safety of a booster dose of Comirnaty in participants 12 years of age and older is inferred fromsafety data from studies of a booster dose of Comirnaty in participants 18 years of age and older.

A subset of 325 adults 18 to ≤ 55 years of age who had completed 3 doses of Comirnaty, received abooster (fourth dose) of Comirnaty 90 to 180 days after receiving Dose 3. Participants who received abooster (fourth dose) of Comirnaty had a median follow-up time of 1.4 months up to a data cut-offdate of 11 March 2022. The most frequent adverse reactions in these participants were injection sitepain (> 70%), fatigue (> 60%), headache (> 40%), myalgia and chills (> 20%), and arthralgia (> 10%).

In a subset from Study 4 (Phase 3), 305 adults > 55 years of age who had completed 3 doses of

Comirnaty, received a booster (fourth dose) of Comirnaty 5 to 12 months after receiving Dose 3.

Participants who received a booster (fourth dose) of Comirnaty had a median follow-up time of at least1.7 months up to a data cut-off date of 16 May 2022. The overall safety profile for the Comirnatybooster (fourth dose) was similar to that seen after the Comirnaty booster (third dose). The mostfrequent adverse reactions in participants > 55 years of age were injection site pain (> 60%),fatigue (> 40%), headache (> 20%), myalgia and chills (> 10%).

Booster dose following primary vaccination with another authorised COVID-19 vaccine

In 5 independent studies on the use of a Comirnaty booster dose in individuals who had completedprimary vaccination with another authorised COVID-19 vaccine (heterologous booster dose), no newsafety issues were identified.

Special populations

Infants born to pregnant participants - after 2 doses of Comirnaty

Study C4591015 (Study 9), a Phase 2/3, placebo-controlled study, evaluated a total of 346 pregnantparticipants who received Comirnaty (n = 173) or placebo (n = 173). Infants (Comirnaty n = 167 orplacebo n = 168) were evaluated up to 6 months. No safety concerns were identified that wereattributable to maternal vaccination with Comirnaty.

Immunocompromised participants (adults and children)

In study C4591024 (Study 10), a total of 124 immunocompromised participants 2 years of age andolder received Comirnaty (see section 5.1).

Safety with concomitant vaccine administration

Concomitant administration with seasonal influenza vaccine

In Study 8, a Phase 3 study, participants 18 through 64 years of age who received Comirnatycoadministered with seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV), quadrivalent followed 1 monthlater by placebo, were compared to participants who received an inactivated influenza vaccine withplacebo followed 1 month later by Comirnaty alone (n = 553 to 564 participants in each group).

Concomitant administration with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

In Study 11 (B7471026), a Phase 3 study, participants 65 years of age and older who received abooster dose of Comirnaty coadministered with 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (20vPNC)(n = 187) were compared to participants who received Comirnaty alone (n = 185).

Concomitant administration with an unadjuvanted recombinant protein RSV vaccine or with anunadjuvanted recombinant protein RSV vaccine and a high dose influenza vaccine

In Study 12 (C5481001), a Phase 1/2 study, participants 65 years of age and older who received

Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 and RSV vaccine coadministered in one arm plus high dosequadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) (n = 158) or placebo (n = 157) in the opposite arm werecompared to participants who received the individual vaccines given with placebo.

Description of selected adverse reactions
Myocarditis and pericarditis

The increased risk of myocarditis after vaccination with Comirnaty is highest in younger males (seesection 4.4).

Two large European pharmacoepidemiological studies have estimated the excess risk in youngermales following the second dose of Comirnaty. One study showed that in a period of 7 days after thesecond dose there were about 0.265 (95% CI: 0.255 - 0.275) extra cases of myocarditis in 12-29 yearold males per 10 000 compared to unexposed persons. In another study, in a period of 28 days after thesecond dose there were 0.56 (95% CI: 0.37 - 0.74) extra cases of myocarditis in 16-24 year old malesper 10 000 compared to unexposed persons.

Limited data indicate that the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination with Comirnaty inchildren aged 5 to 11 years seems lower than in ages 12 to 17 years.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. Itallows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcareprofessionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting systemlisted in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

There have been reports of higher than recommended doses of Comirnaty in clinical trials andpost−authorisation experience. In general, adverse events reported with overdoses have been similar tothe known adverse reaction profile of Comirnaty.

In the event of overdose, monitoring of vital functions and possible symptomatic treatment isrecommended.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: vaccines, viral vaccines, ATC code: J07BN01

Mechanism of action

The nucleoside modified messenger RNA in Comirnaty is formulated in lipid nanoparticles, whichenable delivery of the non-replicating RNA into host cells to direct transient expression of the

SARS-CoV-2 S antigen. The mRNA codes for membrane-anchored, full-length S with two pointmutations within the central helix. Mutation of these two amino acids to proline locks S in anantigenically preferred prefusion conformation. The vaccine elicits both neutralising antibody andcellular immune responses to the spike (S) antigen, which may contribute to protection against

COVID-19.

Efficacy

Omicron-adapted Comirnaty

Immunogenicity in children 5 to 11 years of age (i.e. 5 to less than 12 years of age) - after the booster(fourth dose)

In an analysis of a subset from Study 6, 103 participants 5 to 11 years of age who had previouslyreceived a 2-dose primary series and booster dose with Comirnaty received a booster (fourth dose) of

Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5. Results include immunogenicity data from a comparator subsetof participants 5 to 11 years of age in Study 3 who received 3 doses of Comirnaty. In participants 5 to11 years of age who received a fourth dose of Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 and participants5 to 11 years of age who received a third dose of Comirnaty, 57.3% and 58.4% were positive for

SARS-CoV-2 at baseline, respectively.

The immune response 1 month after a booster dose (fourth dose), Comirnaty Original/Omicron

BA.4-5 elicited generally similar Omicron BA.4/BA.5-specific neutralising titres compared with thetitres in the comparator group who received 3 doses of Comirnaty. Comirnaty Original/Omicron

BA.4-5 also elicited similar reference strain-specific titres compared with the titres in the comparatorgroup.

The vaccine immunogenicity results after a booster dose in participants 5 to 11 years of age arepresented in Table 3.

Initially approved Comirnaty vaccine

Study 2 is a multicentre, multinational, Phase 1/2/3 randomised, placebo-controlled, observer-blinddose-finding, vaccine candidate selection and efficacy study in participants 12 years of age and older.

Randomisation was stratified by age: 12 to 15 years of age, 16 to 55 years of age, or 56 years of ageand older, with a minimum of 40% of participants in the ≥ 56-year stratum. The study excludedparticipants who were immunocompromised and those who had previous clinical or microbiologicaldiagnosis of COVID-19. Participants with pre-existing stable disease, defined as disease not requiringsignificant change in therapy or hospitalisation for worsening disease during the 6 weeks beforeenrolment, were included as were participants with known stable infection with humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV).

Efficacy in participants 16 years of age and older - after 2 doses

In the Phase 2/3 portion of Study 2, based on data accrued through 14 November 2020, approximately44 000 participants were randomised equally and were to receive 2 doses of the initially approved

COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine or placebo. The efficacy analyses included participants that received theirsecond vaccination within 19 to 42 days after their first vaccination. The majority (93.1%) of vaccinerecipients received the second dose 19 days to 23 days after Dose 1. Participants are planned to befollowed for up to 24 months after Dose 2, for assessments of safety and efficacy against COVID-19.

In the clinical study, participants were required to observe a minimum interval of 14 days before andafter administration of an influenza vaccine in order to receive either placebo or COVID-19 mRNA

Vaccine. In the clinical study, participants were required to observe a minimum interval of 60 daysbefore or after receipt of blood/plasma products or immunoglobulins within through conclusion of thestudy in order to receive either placebo or COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine.

The population for the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint included 36 621 participants 12 yearsof age and older (18 242 in the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine group and 18 379 in the placebo group)who did not have evidence of prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 through 7 days after the second dose.

In addition, 134 participants were between the ages of 16 to 17 years of age (66 in the COVID-19mRNA Vaccine group and 68 in the placebo group) and 1 616 participants 75 years of age and older(804 in the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine group and 812 in the placebo group).

At the time of the primary efficacy analysis, participants had been followed for symptomatic

COVID-19 for in total 2 214 person-years for the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine and in total2 222 person-years in the placebo group.

There were no meaningful clinical differences in overall vaccine efficacy in participants who were atrisk of severe COVID-19 including those with 1 or more comorbidities that increase the risk of severe

COVID-19 (e.g. asthma, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, chronic pulmonary disease, diabetesmellitus, hypertension).

Efficacy and immunogenicity in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age - after 2 doses

In an initial analysis of Study 2 in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age (representing a median follow-upduration of > 2 months after Dose 2) without evidence of prior infection, there were no cases in1 005 participants who received the vaccine and 16 cases out of 978 who received placebo. The pointestimate for efficacy is 100% (95% confidence interval 75.3, 100.0). In participants with or withoutevidence of prior infection there were 0 cases in the 1 119 who received vaccine and 18 cases in1 110 participants who received placebo. This also indicates the point estimate for efficacy is 100%(95% confidence interval 78.1, 100.0).

Updated efficacy analyses were performed with additional confirmed COVID-19 cases accrued duringblinded placebo-controlled follow-up, representing up to 6 months after Dose 2 in the efficacypopulation.

In the updated efficacy analysis of Study 2 in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age without evidence ofprior infection, there were no cases in 1 057 participants who received the vaccine and 28 cases out of1 030 who received placebo. The point estimate for efficacy is 100% (95% confidence interval 86.8,100.0) during the period when Alpha variant was the predominant circulating strain. In participantswith or without evidence of prior infection there were 0 cases in the 1 119 who received vaccine and30 cases in 1 109 participants who received placebo. This also indicates the point estimate for efficacyis 100% (95% confidence interval 87.5, 100.0).

In Study 2, an analysis of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising titres 1 month after Dose 2 was conducted in arandomly selected subset of participants who had no serological or virological evidence of past

SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after Dose 2, comparing the response in adolescents 12 to15 years of age (n = 190) to participants 16 to 25 years of age (n = 170).

The ratio of the geometric mean titres (GMT) in the 12 to 15 years of age group to the 16 to 25 yearsof age group was 1.76, with a 2-sided 95% CI of 1.47 to 2.10. Therefore, the 1.5-fold noninferioritycriterion was met as the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the geometric mean ratio [GMR] was> 0.67.

Efficacy and immunogenicity in children 5 to 11 years of age (i.e. 5 to less than 12 years of age) -after 2 doses

Study 3 is a Phase 1/2/3 study comprised of an open-label vaccine dose-finding portion (Phase 1) anda multicentre, multinational, randomised, saline placebo-controlled, observer-blind efficacy portion(Phase 2/3) that has enrolled participants 5 to 11 years of age. The majority (94.4%) of randomisedvaccine recipients received the second dose 19 days to 23 days after Dose 1.

Initial descriptive vaccine efficacy results in children 5 to 11 years of age without evidence of prior

SARS-CoV-2 infection are presented in Table 9. No cases of COVID-19 were observed in either thevaccine group or the placebo group in participants with evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Pre-specified hypothesis-driven efficacy analysis was performed with additional confirmed

COVID-19 cases accrued during blinded placebo-controlled follow-up, representing up to 6 monthsafter Dose 2 in the efficacy population.

In the efficacy analysis of Study 3 in children 5 to 11 years of age without evidence of prior infection,there were 10 cases in 2 703 participants who received the vaccine and 42 cases out of 1 348 whoreceived placebo. The point estimate for efficacy is 88.2% (95% confidence interval 76.2, 94.7) duringthe period when Delta variant was the predominant circulating strain. In participants with or withoutevidence of prior infection there were 12 cases in the 3 018 who received vaccine and 42 cases in1 511 participants who received placebo. The point estimate for efficacy is 85.7% (95% confidenceinterval 72.4, 93.2).

In Study 3, an analysis of SARS-CoV-2 50% neutralising titres (NT50) 1 month after Dose 2 in arandomly selected subset of participants demonstrated effectiveness by immunobridging of immuneresponses comparing children 5 to 11 years of age (i.e. 5 to less than 12 years of age) in the Phase 2/3part of Study 3 to participants 16 to 25 years of age in the Phase 2/3 part of Study 2 who had noserological or virological evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after Dose 2, meetingthe pre-specified immunobridging criteria for both the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and theseroresponse difference with seroresponse defined as achieving at least 4-fold rise in SARS-CoV-2

NT50 from baseline (before Dose 1).

The GMR of the SARS-CoV-2 NT50 1 month after Dose 2 in children 5 to 11 years of age (i.e. 5 toless than 12 years of age) to that of young adults 16 to 25 years of age was 1.04 (2-sided 95% CI: 0.93,1.18). Among participants without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after

Dose 2, 99.2% of children 5 to 11 years of age and 99.2% of participants 16 to 25 years of age had aseroresponse at 1 month after Dose 2.

Immunogenicity in participants 18 years of age and older - after booster dose

Effectiveness of a booster dose of Comirnaty was based on an assessment of 50% neutralizingantibody titres (NT50) against SARS-CoV-2 (USA_WA1/2020) in Study 2. In this study, the boosterdose was administered 5 to 8 months (median 7 months) after the second dose. In Study 2, analyses of

NT50 1 month after the booster dose compared to 1 month after the primary series in individuals 18 to55 years of age who had no serological or virological evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection up to1 month after the booster vaccination demonstrated noninferiority for both geometric mean ratio(GMR) and difference in seroresponse rates. Seroresponse for a participant was defined as achieving a≥ 4-fold rise in NT50 from baseline (before primary series). These analyses are summarised in

Relative vaccine efficacy in participants 16 years of age and older - after booster dose

An interim efficacy analysis of Study 4, a placebo-controlled booster study performed inapproximately 10 000 participants 16 years of age and older who were recruited from Study 2,evaluated confirmed COVID-19 cases accrued from at least 7 days after booster vaccination up to adata cut-off date of 5 October 2021, which represents a median of 2.5 months post-booster follow-up.

The booster dose was administered 5 to 13 months (median 11 months) after the second dose. Vaccineefficacy of the Comirnaty booster dose after the primary series relative to the placebo booster groupwho only received the primary series dose was assessed.

The relative vaccine efficacy information for participants 16 years of age and older without priorevidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection is presented in Table 12. Relative vaccine efficacy in participantswith or without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was 94.6% (95% confidence interval of88.5% to 97.9%), similar to that seen in those participants without evidence of prior infection. Primary

COVID-19 cases observed from 7 days after booster vaccination were 7 primary cases in the

Comirnaty group, and 124 primary cases in the placebo group.

Immunogenicity in children 5 to 11 years of age (i.e. 5 to less than 12 years of age) - after boosterdose

A booster dose of Comirnaty was given to 401 randomly selected participants in Study 3.

Effectiveness of a booster dose in ages 5 to 11 is inferred by immunogenicity. The immunogenicity ofthis was assessed through NT50 against the reference strain of SARS-CoV-2 (USA_WA1/2020).

Analyses of NT50 1 month after the booster dose compared to before the booster dose demonstrated asubstantial increase in GMTs in individuals 5 to 11 years of age who had no serological or virologicalevidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after the dose 2 and the booster dose. Thisanalysis is summarised in Table 13.

Immunogenicity of a booster dose following primary vaccination with another authorised COVID-19vaccine

Effectiveness of a Comirnaty booster dose (30 mcg) in individuals who completed primaryvaccination with another authorised COVID-19 vaccine (heterologous booster dose) is inferred fromimmunogenicity data from an independent National Institutes of Health (NIH) study phase 1/2open-label clinical trial (NCT04889209) conducted in the United States. In this study, adults (range 19to 80 years of age) who had completed primary vaccination with Moderna 100 mcg 2-dose series(N = 51, mean age 54±17), Janssen single dose (N = 53, mean age 48±14), or Comirnaty 30 mcg2-dose series (N = 50, mean age 50±18) at least 12 weeks prior to enrolment and who reported nohistory of SARS-CoV-2 infection received a booster dose of Comirnaty (30 mcg). The boost with

Comirnaty induced a 36, 12, and 20 GMR-fold rise in neutralising titres following the Janssen,

Moderna, and Comirnaty primary doses, respectively.

Heterologous boosting with Comirnaty was also evaluated in the CoV-BOOST study(EudraCT 2021-002175-19), a multicentre, randomised, controlled, phase 2 trial of third dose boostervaccination against COVID-19, in which 107 adult participants (median age 71 years of age,interquartile range 54 to 77 years of age) were randomised at least 70 days post 2 doses of

AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine. After the AstraZeneca COVID‑19 Vaccine primary series,pseudovirus (wild-type), neutralising antibody NT50 GMR-fold change increased 21.6-fold withheterologous Comirnaty booster (n = 95).

Immunogenicity in participants > 55 years of age - after a booster dose (fourth dose) of Comirnaty(30 mcg)

In an interim analysis of a subset from Study 4 (Substudy E), 305 participants > 55 years of age whohad completed a series of 3 doses of Comirnaty received Comirnaty (30 mcg) as a booster dose (fourthdose) 5 to 12 months after receiving Dose 3. For the Immunogenicity subset data see Table 8.

Immunogenicity in participants 18 to ≤ 55 years of age - after a booster dose (fourth dose) of

Immunogenicity in pregnant participants and infants born to pregnant participants - after 2 doseswith Comirnaty

Study 9 was a Phase 2/3 multinational, placebo-controlled, observer-blind study that enrolled pregnantparticipants 18 years of age and older to receive 2 doses of Comirnaty (n = 173) or placebo (n = 173).

Pregnant participants received Dose 1 of Comirnaty at 24 to 34 weeks gestation and the majority(90.2%) received the second dose 19 to 23 days after Dose 1.

Descriptive immunogenicity analysis was performed in pregnant participants receiving Comirnaty in

Study 9 compared to a comparator subset of nonpregnant participants from Study 2 evaluating theratio of the neutralising GMT (GMR) 1 month after Dose 2. The evaluable immunogenicity populationwho received Comirnaty in the pregnant participants group in Study 9 (n = 111) and in nonpregnantparticipants in Study 2 (n = 114) had a median age of 30 years (range 18 to 44 years of age) andcomprised of 37.8% vs 3.5% with a positive baseline SARS-CoV-2 status, respectively.

Among participants without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after Dose 2, theobserved SARS-CoV-2 50% neutralizing GMT 1 month after Dose 2 was lower in the pregnantparticipants (Study 9) when compared to nonpregnant female participants (Study 2) (the ratio of the

GMT [GMR] was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.50, 0.90).

Among participants with or without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after

Dose 2, the model-adjusted GMT 1 month after Dose 2 was similar in the pregnant participants whencompared to nonpregnant female participants (the model-adjusted ratio of the GMT [GMR] was 0.95(95% CI: 0.69, 1.30). The model-adjusted GMT and GMR were calculated based on a regressionmodel adjusting for age and baseline neutralizing titres.

Immunogenicity in immunocompromised participants (adults and children)

Study 10 is a Phase 2b, open-label study (n = 124) that enrolled immunocompromised participants 2 to< 18 years of age receiving immunomodulator therapy or who have undergone solid organ transplant(within the previous 3 months) and are on immunosuppression or who have undergone bone marrowor stem cell transplant at least 6 months prior to enrolment and in immunocompromised participants18 years of age and older treated for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or chronic lymphocyticleukaemia (CLL), receiving haemodialysis for secondary to end-stage renal disease, or receivingimmunomodulator therapy for an autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Participants received4 age-appropriate doses of Comirnaty (3 mcg, 10 mcg, or 30 mcg); the first 2 doses separated by21 days, with the third dose occurring 28 days after the second dose, followed by a fourth dose, 3 to6 months after Dose 3.

Analysis of immunogenicity data at 1 month after Dose 3 (26 participants 2 to < 5 years of age,56 participants 5 to < 12 years of age, 11 participants 12 to < 18 years of age, and 4 participants≥ 18 years of age) and 1 month after Dose 4 (16 participants 2 to < 5 years of age, 31 participants 5 to< 12 years of age, 6 participants 12 to < 18 years of age, and 4 participants ≥ 18 years of age) in theevaluable immunogenicity population without evidence of prior infection demonstrated avaccine-elicited immune response. GMTs were observed to be substantially higher at 1 month after

Dose 3 and further increased at 1 month after Dose 4 and remained high at 6 months after Dose 4compared to levels observed before study vaccination across age groups and disease subsets.

Paediatric population

The European Medicines Agency has deferred the obligation to submit the results of studies with

Comirnaty in the paediatric population in prevention of COVID-19 (see section 4.2 for information onpaediatric use).

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Not applicable.

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of repeat dosetoxicity and reproductive and developmental toxicity.

General toxicity

Rats intramuscularly administered Comirnaty (receiving 3 full human doses once weekly, generatingrelatively higher levels in rats due to body weight differences) demonstrated some injection siteoedema and erythema and increases in white blood cells (including basophils and eosinophils)consistent with an inflammatory response as well as vacuolation of portal hepatocytes withoutevidence of liver injury. All effects were reversible.

Genotoxicity/Carcinogenicity

Neither genotoxicity nor carcinogenicity studies were performed. The components of the vaccine (lipidsand mRNA) are not expected to have genotoxic potential.

Reproductive toxicity

Reproductive and developmental toxicity were investigated in rats in a combined fertility anddevelopmental toxicity study where female rats were intramuscularly administered Comirnaty prior tomating and during gestation (receiving 4 full human doses that generate relatively higher levels in ratdue to body weight differences, spanning between pre-mating day 21 and gestational day 20).

SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibody responses were present in maternal animals from prior to matingto the end of the study on post-natal day 21 as well as in foetuses and offspring. There were novaccine-related effects on female fertility, pregnancy, or embryo-foetal or offspring development. No

Comirnaty data are available on vaccine placental transfer or excretion in milk.
