COMIRNATY COVID-19 VACCIN 30mcg / dose 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

No interaction studies have been performed.

Concomitant administration of Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.5 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, cycle, and usemachines. However, some of the effects mentioned under section 4.8 may temporarily affect theability to drive, cycle, or use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

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).

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 infants and children 6 months to 4 years of age - after the booster (fourth dose)

In an analysis of a subset from Study 6, 310 participants 6 months to 4 years of age received a booster(fourth dose) of Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5 (1.5/1.5 mcg) after receiving 3 prior doses of

Comirnaty 3 micrograms dose concentrate for dispersion. Results include immunogenicity data from acomparator subset of participants 6 months to 4 years of age in Study 3 who received 3 doses of

Comirnaty 3 micrograms dose concentrate for dispersion.

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 participants 5to 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.

Comirnaty

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).

The vaccine efficacy information is presented in Table 7.

Efficacy against severe COVID-19

Updated efficacy analyses of secondary efficacy endpoints supported benefit of the COVID-19 mRNA

Vaccine in preventing severe COVID‑19.

As of 13 March 2021, vaccine efficacy against severe COVID-19 is presented only for participantswith or without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection (Table 9) as the COVID-19 case counts in participantswithout prior SARS-CoV-2 infection were the same as those in participants with or without prior

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 10. 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. The difference in proportions of participants who hadseroresponse between the 2 age groups (children - young adult) was 0.0% (2-sided 95% CI: -2.0%,2.2%). This information is presented in Table 11.

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 12.

Vaccine efficacy in participants with or without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was similar to thoseparticipants without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Severe COVID-19 criteria (as described in the protocol, based on FDA definition and modified forchildren) were fulfilled for 12 cases (8 COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine and 4 placebo) among participants6 months to 4 years of age. Among participants 6 months to 23 months of age, severe COVID-19criteria were fulfilled for 3 cases (2 COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine and 1 placebo).

Immunogenicity analyses have been performed in the immunobridging subset of 82 Study 3participants 6 to 23 months of age and 143 Study 3 participants 2 to 4 years of age without evidence ofinfection up to 1 month after Dose 3 based on a data cut-off date of 29 April 2022.

SARS-CoV-2 50% neutralising antibody titres (NT50) were compared between an immunogenicitysubset of Phase 2/3 participants 6 to 23 months of age and 2 to 4 years of age from Study 3 at 1 monthafter the 3-dose primary course and a randomly selected subset from Study 2 Phase 2/3 participants 16to 25 years of age at 1 month after the 2-dose primary course, using a microneutralisation assayagainst the reference strain (USA_WA1/2020).

The primary immunobridging analyses compared the geometric mean titres (using a geometric meanratio [GMR]) and the seroresponse (defined as achieving at least 4-fold rise in SARS-CoV-2 NT50from before Dose 1) rates in the evaluable immunogenicity population of participants withoutevidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 month after Dose 3 in participants 6 to 23 months ofage and 2 to 4 years of age and up to 1 month after Dose 2 in participants 16 to 25 years of age. Thepre-specified immunobridging criteria were met for both the GMR and the seroresponse difference forboth age groups (Table 14).

b. GMTs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the titres and thecorresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the LLOQ were set to0.5 × LLOQ.

c. GMRs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean difference of the logarithms of thetitres (younger age group minus 16 to 25 years of age) and the corresponding CI (based on the

Student t distribution).

d. For each younger age group (2 to 4 years, 6 to 23 months), immunobridging based on GMR is declared if thelower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the GMR ratio is greater than 0.67 and the point estimate of the GMRis ≥ 0.8.

e. SARS-CoV-2 NT50 were determined using the SARS-CoV-2 mNeonGreen Virus Microneutralisation

Assay. The assay uses a fluorescent reporter virus derived from the USA_WA1/2020 strain and virusneutralisation is read on Vero cell monolayers. The sample NT50 is defined as the reciprocal serum dilutionat which 50% of the virus is neutralised.

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.
