Administration

SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 is a white to off-white dispersion. It may contain white or translucent product-related particulates. Visually inspect SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5

vials for foreign particulate matter and/or discoloration prior to administration. If either of these conditions exists, the vaccine should not be administered.

Administer SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 intramuscularly (IM) only. The preferred site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. A needle length of ≥1 inch should be used as needles <1 inch may be of insufficient length to penetrate muscle tissue in some adults.

Do not inject the vaccine intravascularly, subcutaneously or intradermally.

Using aseptic technique, cleanse the vial stopper with a single-use antiseptic swab. Withdraw each dose of vaccine from the vial using a new sterile needle and syringe (preferentially a low dead-volume syringe and/or needle) for each injection. Pierce the stopper preferably at a different site each time.

After Vial Puncture: The dose in the syringe should be used as soon as feasible and no later than 24 hours after the vial was first entered (needle-punctured).

SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 is preservative free. Once the vial has been entered, it should be discarded after 24 hours. Do not refreeze. Thawed vials and filled syringes can be handled in room light conditions. Any unused vaccine or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.

7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

As with any vaccine, vaccination with SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original / Omicron BA.4 5 may not protect all recipients.

Hypersensitivity and Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis has been reported in individuals who have received SPIKEVAX (elasomeran). As with all vaccines, appropriate medical treatment, training for immunizers and supervision after immunization should always be readily available in case of a rare anaphylactic event following the administration of this vaccine.

Vaccine recipients should be kept under observation for at least 15 minutes after immunization; 30 minutes is a preferred interval when there is a specific concern about a possible vaccine reaction.

Subsequent doses of the vaccine should not be given to those who have experienced anaphylaxis to an earlier dose of SPIKEVAX.

Cardiovascular

Myocarditis and Pericarditis

Very rare cases of myocarditis and/or pericarditis following vaccination with SPIKEVAX have been reported during post-authorization use. There is an increased risk for myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with SPIKEVAX, particularly within the first week following receipt of the second primary series dose or first booster dose in male young adults. Available short-term follow-up data suggest that the symptoms resolve in most individuals following standard treatment and rest, but information on long-term sequelae is lacking. The decision to administer SPIKEVAX to an individual with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis should take into account the individual’s clinical circumstances.

Healthcare professionals are advised to consider the possibility of myocarditis and/or pericarditis in their differential diagnosis if individuals present with chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations or other signs and symptoms of myocarditis and/or pericarditis following immunization with a COVID-19 vaccine. This could allow for early diagnosis and treatment. Cardiology consultation for management and follow up should be considered. Vaccinees should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they develop the signs or symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis as described above.

Acute Illness

Consideration should be given to postponing immunization in persons with severe febrile illness or severe acute infection. Persons with moderate or severe acute illness should be vaccinated as soon as the acute illness has improved.

Hematologic-Bleeding

As with other intramuscular injections, SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original / Omicron BA.4/5 should be given with caution in individuals with bleeding disorders, such as haemophilia, or individuals currently on anticoagulant therapy, to avoid the risk of haematoma following the injection, and when the potential benefit clearly outweighs the risk of administration.

Immune

Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressant therapy, may have a diminished immune response to the vaccine.

Syncope

Syncope (fainting) can occur following, or even before, any vaccination as a psychogenic response to the needle injection. Procedures should be in place to prevent injury from fainting and manage syncopal reactions.

7.1 Special Populations

7.1.1 Pregnant Women

The safety and efficacy of SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 in pregnant women have not yet been established.

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 during pregnancy. Women who are vaccinated with SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 during pregnancy are encouraged to enroll in the registry by calling 1-866-MODERNA (1-866-663-3762).

7.1.2 Breast-feeding

It is unknown if SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 is excreted in human milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for immunization against COVID-19.

7.1.3 Pediatrics

The safety and efficacy of SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 in children under 6 years of age have not yet been established.

7.1.4 Geriatrics

Clinical studies of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) that included participants 65 years of age and older and their data contribute to the overall assessment of safety and effectiveness of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original / Omicron BA.4/5 (elasomeran / davesomeran) mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (see ADVERSE REACTIONS and CLINICAL TRIALS sections).

8 ADVERSE REACTIONS

8.1 Adverse Reaction Overview

The safety of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 (elasomeran/davesomeran) mRNA vaccine for individuals 6 years of age and older is inferred from studies of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) in individuals >18 years of age as well as data from studies which evaluated the primary series and booster vaccination with SPIKEVAX.

The safety profile of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) in participants ≥ 18 years of age presented below is based on data generated from an ongoing Phase 2/3 open-label study in participants 18 years of age and older (mRNA-1273-P205). In this study, 437 participants received the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) 50 mcg booster dose (mRNA-1273.214, as 25 mcg elasomeran and 25 mcg imelasomeran), and 377 participants received the SPIKEVAX original 50 mcg booster dose (mRNA-1273).

Overall, the frequency of solicited adverse reactions after the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose was similar to that observed following the SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) original 50 mcg booster dose. The most frequently reported adverse reactions after the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose were pain (77.3%), fatigue (54.9%), headache (43.9%), myalgia (39.6%), arthralgia (31.1%) and axillary swelling or tenderness (17.4%). The median duration of local and systemic adverse reactions was 2 days. The most common adverse reactions after the SPIKEVAX original 50 µg booster dose was fatigue (51.4%), headache (41.1%), myalgia (38.6%), and arthralgia (31.7%). The median duration of local and systemic adverse reactions was 2 days.

Overall, after both the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose and the SPIKEVAX original 50 mcg booster dose there was a higher reported rate of solicited adverse reactions in younger age groups. The incidence of pain, erythema, swelling/induration, lymphadenopathy (axillary swelling/tenderness), fatigue, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and nausea/vomiting was higher in adults 18 to 64 years of age than in those 65 years of age and above (see Table 2, Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5 respectively).

The safety and effectiveness of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 (elasomeran/davesomeran) mRNA vaccine for individuals 6 through 17 years of age are inferred from studies of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) in individuals 18 years of age

and older as well as data from studies which evaluated the primary series and booster vaccination with SPIKEVAX.

Safety data in adolescents (12 to 17 years of age) were collected in an ongoing Phase 2/3 randomised, placebo-controlled, observer-blind clinical trial (Study P203, NCT04649151) conducted in the United States involving 3,726 participants who received at least one dose of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) (n=2,486) or placebo (n=1,240). Overall, solicited adverse reactions at any dose were reported more frequently among adolescents in the vaccine group than in the placebo group. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in adolescent subjects were pain at the injection site (97.2%), headache (78.4%), fatigue (75.2%), myalgia (54.3%), and chills (49.1%) (see Table 11 and Table 12).

This study transitioned to an open-label Phase 2/3 study in which 1,364 participants 12 years through 17 years of age received a booster dose of Spikevax at least 5 months after the second dose of the primary series. The most common solicited local adverse reactions were pain (91%) and axillary swelling or tenderness (28%). The most common solicited systemic ARs were fatigue (59%), headache (57%), myalgia (40%), chills (31%), and arthralgia (24%).

Safety data in children (6 years to 11 years of age) were collected in an ongoing Phase 2/3 two-part clinical trial (Study P204, NCT04796896) conducted in the United States and Canada. Part 1 is an open-label phase of the trial for safety, dose selection, and immunogenicity involving 380 participants who received at least one dose of SPIKEVAX (0.25 mL, 50 mcg). Part 2 is the placebo-controlled phase for safety, immunogenicity and efficacy and it included 4,002 participants 6 years to 11 years of age who received at least one dose (0.25 mL, 50 mcg) of SPIKEVAX (n=3,007) or placebo (n=995), and 2,988 SPIKEVAX participants and 973 placebo participants had received dose 2. No participants in Part 1 participated in Part 2.

Overall, solicited adverse reactions were reported more frequently among children in the vaccine group than in the placebo group. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in children 6 years to 11 years of age in Part 2 following administration of the primary series were pain at the injection site (94.8%), fatigue (64.5%), headache (54.3%), chills (30.3%) and myalgia (28.2%) (see Table 13 and Table 14).

The study protocol was amended to include an open label booster dose phase that included 1,294 participants 6 years through 11 years of age who received a booster dose of Spikevax at least 6 months after the second dose of the primary series. No additional adverse reactions were identified in the open-label portion of the study.

8.2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions

Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials; therefore, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another vaccine. Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse vaccine reactions in real-world use.

Participants 18 Years of Age and Older

Solicited Adverse Reactions

The safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) are evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2/3 open-label study in participants 18 years of age and older (mRNA-1273-P205). In this study, 437 participants received the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose (mRNA-1273.214, as 25 mcg elasomeran and 25 mcg imelasomeran), and 377 participants received the SPIKEVAX original 50 mcg booster dose (mRNA-1273). Participants were followed for a median duration of 43 days and 57 days for the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose and SPIKEVAX 50 mcg booster dose, respectively.

Solicited adverse reaction data were collected from Day 1 to Day 7 and reported by participants in an electronic diary (e-Diary) after each dose and on electronic case report forms. The reactogenicity observed for both local and systemic adverse reactions was similar for both groups with 380 (87%) of subjects in the mRNA-1273.214 group and 301 (85%) of subjects in the mRNA-1273 group experiencing any solicited adverse reactions (AR)s. The frequency of grade 3 adverse reactions was 8.0% in both groups. There were no grade 4 solicited ARs in either group. Reported solicited local and systemic adverse reactions are presented in Table 2, Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5 respectively.

Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory infection coronavirus-2. *No Grade 4 Solicited Adverse Reactions were observed.

N1 = number of exposed participants who submitted any data for the event. Any = Grade 1 or higher. Percentages are based on the number of exposed participants who submitted any data for the event (N1). The 95% CI is calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

a Toxicity grade for erythema (redness) is defined as: Grade 1 = 25 – 50 mm; Grade 2 = 51 – 100 mm; Grade 3 = greater than 100 mm.

b Toxicity grade for fever is defined as: Grade 1 = 38 – 38.4°C; Grade 2 = 38.5 – 38.9°C; Grade 3 = 39 – 40°C.

Overall, there were no safety concerns or differences identified in solicited adverse reactions based on pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 status. The frequency of solicited local ARs was similar among participants with a positive pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 status 74/96 [77.1%]) and participants with a negative pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 status (272/340 [80.0%])

Unsolicited Adverse Events

There were no important clinical differences between unsolicited events that occurred within 28 days for participants who received the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1, mRNA-1273.214) 50 mcg booster dose when compared to participants who received the SPIKEVAX original (mRNA-1273) 50 mcg booster dose. There were 81/437 participants (18.5%) in the SPIKEVAX Bivalent group that reported unsolicited events, regardless of relationship to the vaccine, compared to 78/377 participants (20.7%) in the SPIKEVAX original group.

In both groups the majority of unsolicited events were consistent with reactogenicity events. The most commonly reported unsolicited events within 28 days after the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose, regardless of causality were fatigue (11/437 [2.5%]); headache and arthralgia (7/437 [1.6%] each). The most commonly reported unsolicited events within 28 days after the SPIKEVAX original 50 mcg booster dose, regardless of causality were fatigue (12/377 [3.2%]), upper respiratory tract infection (9/377 [2.4%]), and coronavirus infection (i.e., coronaviruses other than SARS-CoV-2) (8/377 [2.1%]). There were no deaths reported in any of the two groups in the study.

Serious adverse events (SAE) were reported in 0.5% (2/437) of subjects who received the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose; and 0.3% (1/377) of subjects who received the SPIKEVAX original 50 mcg booster dose, within 28 days after vaccination. Up to the data cut-off date (27 Apr 2022), one additional SAE occurred in the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose group.

SPIKEVAX Primary Series (Original)

Participants 18 Years of Age and Older

Solicited Adverse Reactions

The safety profile presented below is based on data generated in an ongoing Phase 3, placebo- controlled clinical study of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) in subjects ≥ 18 years of age in which pre-specified cohorts of subjects who were either ≥ 65 years of age or 18 to 64 years of age with comorbid medical conditions were included. At the time of the analysis, the safety analysis set included a total of 30,351 subjects who received at least one dose of SPIKEVAX (n=15,181) or placebo (n=15,170). Subjects were followed for a median of 92 days from first injection and 63 days from second injection.

Solicited adverse reaction data were collected from Day 1 to Day 7 and reported by participants in an electronic diary (e-Diary) after each dose and on electronic case report forms. Reported solicited local and systemic adverse reactions are presented in Table 7, Table 8, Table 9 and Table 10 respectively.

Unsolicited Adverse Events

Serious Adverse Events

Serious adverse events were reported in 0.6% of participants who received SPIKEVAX and 0.6% of participants who received a placebo, from the first dose until 28 days following the last vaccination. Serious adverse events were reported in 1% of participants who received SPIKEVAX and 1% of participants who received a placebo, from the first dose until the last observation (cut-off date November 25, 2020). In these analyses, 87.9% of study participants had at least 28 days of follow-up after dose 2, and the median follow-up time for all participants was 9 weeks after dose 2.

There were no other notable patterns or numerical imbalances between treatment groups for specific categories of adverse events (including other neurologic, neuro-inflammatory, and thrombotic events) that would suggest a causal relationship to SPIKEVAX.

Three serious adverse events were likely related to SPIKEVAX: two cases of facial swelling occurring within 7 days of receiving Dose 2, in female patients aged 46 and 51; one case of nausea and vomiting with headaches and fever occurring within 7 days after Dose 2 and requiring in-hospital treatment in a 61-year-old female, with past medical history of headaches with nausea and vomiting requiring hospitalization. One case of Bell’s palsy, which occurred 32 days following receipt of vaccine, was classified as a serious adverse event. Currently available information on Bell’s palsy is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine.

No deaths related to the vaccine were reported in the study.

Non-Serious Adverse Events

In the COVE Phase 3 study, unsolicited adverse events occurring within 28 days after each vaccination were reported by 23.9% of subjects who received SPIKEVAX, and 21.6% of subjects who received the placebo. These adverse events were predominantly solicited adverse reactions occurring outside of the conventional 7-day monitoring period after the injection (injection site pain, fatigue, headaches, myalgia, etc.).

Unsolicited adverse events that occurred in ≥ 1% of study participants who received SPIKEVAX and at a rate at least 1.5-fold higher rate than placebo, were lymphadenopathy related events (1.1% of versus 0.6%) and delayed injection site reactions reported >7 days after vaccination (1.2% versus 0.4%). All of the lymphadenopathy events are similar to the axillary swelling/tenderness in the injected arm reported as solicited adverse reactions. Delayed injection site reactions included one or more of the following: erythema, pain and swelling, and are likely related to vaccination. Hypersensitivity events were reported in 1.5% of the SPIKEVAX group compared to 1.1% of the placebo group, but this imbalance was

mostly due to injection site rash and injection site erythema/swelling occurring more frequently in the SPIKEVAX group.

There were three reports of Bell’s palsy in the SPIKEVAX group (one of which was a serious adverse event), which occurred 22, 29, and 32 days after the second dose of vaccine, and one in the placebo group which occurred 17 days after the first dose of saline. Currently available information on Bell’s palsy is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine. There were no other notable patterns or numerical imbalances between treatment groups for specific categories of non-serious adverse events (including neurologic, musculoskeletal or inflammatory events) that would suggest a causal relationship to SPIKEVAX.

Adolescents 12 to 17 Years of Age

Solicited Adverse Reactions

Data on solicited local and systemic adverse reactions and use of antipyretic medication were collected on a daily basis in an electronic diary for 7 days following each injection (i.e., day of vaccination and the next 6 days) among adolescent participants receiving SPIKEVAX (n=2,482) and participants receiving placebo (n=1,238) with at least 1 documented dose. Events that persisted for more than 7 days were followed until resolution.

The reported number and percentage of the solicited local and systemic adverse reactions in participants 12 through 17 years of age by dose are presented in Table 11 and Table 12 respectively. Solicited local and systemic adverse reactions reported following administration of SPIKEVAX had a median duration of 1 to 3 days.

Unsolicited Adverse Events

Participants (12 to 17 years of age) were monitored for unsolicited adverse events for up to 28 days following each dose and follow-up is ongoing. Serious adverse events and medically attended adverse events will be recorded for the entire study duration. As of May 8, 2021, 3,726 participants (vaccine=2,486, placebo=1,240) had received at least 1 dose and 97.3% of the study participants had at least 28 days of follow-up after Dose 2. The median follow-up time for all participants was 53 days after Dose 2.

Unsolicited adverse events that occurred within 28 days following each vaccination were reported by 20.5% of participants (n=510) who received SPIKEVAX and 15.9% of participants (n=197) who received placebo. Imbalances in unsolicited adverse events up to 28 days after any injection are primarily attributable to events related to local reactogenicity such as lymphadenopathy.

Serious adverse events within 28 days of any injection were reported by < 0.1% (n=2) of participants who received SPIKEVAX and < 0.1% (n=1) of participants who received placebo. As of May 8, 2021, serious adverse events during the overall study period were reported by 0.2% (n=6) of participants who received SPIKEVAX and 0.2% (n=2) of participants who received placebo. No SAEs during the study were assessed by the investigator as related to study vaccine.

Children 6 to 11 Years of Age

Solicited Adverse Reactions

Data on solicited local and systemic adverse reactions were collected on a daily basis in an electronic diary for 7 days following each injection (i.e., day of vaccination and the next 6 days) among pediatric participants aged 6 to 11 years receiving SPIKEVAX (n=3,007) and participants receiving placebo (n=995) with at least 1 documented dose, and 2,988 participants receiving SPIKEVAX and 973 participants in the placebo group had received dose 2 in Study P204 Part 2. For events that persisted for more than 7 days the caregiver was prompted to continue to record until resolution.

The reported number and percentage of the solicited local and systemic adverse reactions in participants 6 through 11 years of age by dose are presented in Table 13 and Table 14 respectively. The majority of solicited local adverse reactions following administration of SPIKEVAX occurred within the first 1 to 2 days after any dose and persisted for a median of 3 days.

Unsolicited Adverse Events

Participants (6 to 11 years of age) were monitored for unsolicited adverse events for up to 28 days following each dose. Serious adverse events and medically attended adverse events will be recorded for the entire study duration. As of November 10, 2021, overall safety data are available for the 4,382 participants enrolled in Study P204 Part 1 and Part 2 which includes data from 3,387 participants who received at least one 50 mcg dose of SPIKEVAX (Part 1=380; Part 2=3,007) and 995 placebo participants in Part 2.

Unsolicited adverse events that occurred within 28 days following each vaccination were reported by 29.6% of participants (n=3,007) who received SPIKEVAX and 25.1% of participants (n=995) who received placebo. Unsolicited adverse events that occurred in ≥ 1% of study participants who received SPIKEVAX and at a rate at least 1.5-fold higher rate than placebo, were injection site erythema (3.0% versus 0.1%) and injection site lymphadenopathy (1.7% vs 0.4%). Hypersensitivity events were reported in 4.7% of the SPIKEVAX group compared to 2.5% of the placebo group, but this imbalance was mostly due to injection site rash and urticaria occurring more frequently in the SPIKEVAX group.

Serious adverse events (SAE) within 28 days of any injection were reported by <0.1% (n=4) of participants who received SPIKEVAX. No SAEs during the study were assessed by the investigator as related to study vaccine.

SPIKEVAX Booster Dose (Original)

Participants 18 Years of Age and Older

Study P201 Part B is an ongoing Phase 2, randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-confirmation study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) in participants 18 years of age and older (NCT04405076). In an open-label phase of this study, 171 participants received a single booster dose (50 mcg) at least 6 months after receiving the second dose (100 mcg) of the SPIKEVAX primary series. At the time of analysis, participants were followed-up for safety for one month after receiving the booster.

The solicited adverse reaction profile for the booster dose was similar to that after the second dose in the primary series. The most common solicited local adverse reactions (ARs) were pain at injection site (84%) and axillary swelling or tenderness (20%). The most common solicited systemic ARs were fatigue (59%), headache (55%), myalgia (49%), arthralgia (41%), and chills (35%). The local and systemic ARs were transient, and most resolved by Day 4. The frequency and severity of solicited ARs was numerically comparable between age cohorts (18 to <55; ≥55 years of age). The most common unsolicited AEs were headache (2.3%) and fatigue (2.3%); these were also solicited AEs that extended beyond Day 7. All unsolicited AEs were mild or moderate in severity. Of the 171 participants who received a booster dose of SPIKEVAX, there were no serious adverse events reported from the booster dose through 29 days after the booster dose.

Adolescents 12 to 17 Years of Age

Safety data for a booster dose of SPIKEVAX in adolescents were collected in an ongoing Phase 2/3 clinical trial (Study P203, NCT04649151) with multiple parts. The open-label booster portion of the study involved 1,364 participants 12 years through 17 years of age who received a booster dose (50 mcg) of SPIKEVAX at least 5 months after the second dose of the primary series (100 mcg). As of the data cutoff date of May 16, 2022, the median duration of follow-up for safety was 116 days after the booster dose.

Solicited Adverse Reactions

Local and systemic adverse reactions (ARs) were solicited in an electronic diary for 7 days following the injection among participants receiving SPIKEVAX as a booster dose. Solicited ARs were reported by most (95.1%) participants after the booster dose (N=1,312); 11.0% reported a Grade 3 solicited AR. The solicited local ARs were pain (91%), axillary swelling or tenderness (28%), swelling (hardness) (14%) and erythema (redness) (9%). The solicited systemic ARs were fatigue (59%), headache (57%), myalgia (40%), chills (31%), arthralgia (24%), nausea/vomiting (18%) and fever (6%). The median duration of solicited local and systemic adverse reactions was 3 days.

Unsolicited Adverse Events

Participants were monitored for unsolicited adverse events for up to 28 days following the booster dose. As of May 16, 2022, among the 1,364 participants who had received a booster dose, unsolicited adverse events that occurred within 28 days following vaccination were reported by 14.2% of participants (n=194). In these analyses, 97.4% of study participants had at least 28 days of follow-up after the booster dose.

Serious Adverse Events

Through the cut-off date of May 16, 2022, with a median follow-up duration of 116 days after booster, no serious adverse events following the booster dose were reported.

Children 6 to 11 Years of Age

Safety data for a booster dose of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) in individuals 6 years through 11 years of age were collected in an ongoing Phase 2/3 clinical trial with multiple parts. The open-label booster portion of the study involved 1,294 participants 6 years through 11 years of age who received a booster dose of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) at least 6 months after the second dose of the primary series (Study P204, NCT04796896). As of the data cutoff date of May 23, 2022, the median duration of follow-up for safety was 29 days after the booster dose. No additional adverse reactions were identified in the open-label portion of the study.

Solicited Adverse Reactions

The most common solicited local adverse reactions (ARs) were pain (90 %) and axillary swelling or tenderness (28 %). The most common solicited systemic ARs were fatigue (49%), headache (38%), myalgia (21%), and chills (14%). The median duration of solicited local and systemic adverse reactions was 3 days.

Unsolicited Adverse Events

Participants were monitored for unsolicited adverse events for up to 28 days following the booster dose. Serious adverse events and medically attended adverse events will be recorded for the entire study duration. As of May 23, 2022, among the 1,294 participants who had received a booster dose, unsolicited adverse events that occurred within 28 days following vaccination were reported by 13.1% of participants (n=169). In these analyses, 55.4% of study participants had at least 28 days of follow-up after the booster dose. Serum sickness-like reaction with onset 10 days following administration of a booster dose was reported in an 8-year-old participant. This event was assessed as related to vaccination. After initiation of treatment with antihistamines and steroids, symptoms resolved within 15 days with the exception of intermittent urticaria that was ongoing 31 days after the onset of the reaction.

Serious Adverse Events

As of May 23, 2022, with a median follow-up duration of 29 days after booster, there was one serious adverse event of abdominal pain reported 16 days following booster dose by a 7-year-old participant. Currently available information is insufficient to determine a causal relationship with the vaccine.

8.3 Less Common Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions

The following events were reported in the ongoing Phase 3, placebo-controlled clinical study of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) in participants ≥ 18 years of age:

Nervous System Disorders: Acute peripheral facial paralysis†

Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Rash.

General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Injection site pruritus, injection site rash, injection site swelling, injection site erythema, injection site urticaria, facial swelling.§

† Throughout the safety follow-up period, acute peripheral facial paralysis (or palsy) was reported by three participants in the

SPIKEVAX group and one participant in the placebo group. Onset in the vaccine group participants was 22 days, 28 days, and 32
days after Dose 2.
§ There were two serious adverse events of facial swelling in vaccine recipients with a history of injection of dermatological
fillers. The onset of swelling was reported on Day 1 and Day 3, respectively, relative to day of vaccination.

8.4 Post-Market Adverse Reactions

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-authorization use of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran).

Immune System Disorders: Anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity.

Cardiac Disorders: Myocarditis and/or pericarditis (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).

Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Erythema multiforme, acute and delayed urticaria.

Nervous System Disorders: facial paralysis / Bell’s palsy, hypoaesthesia / paraesthesia, dizziness.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to product exposure.

9 DRUG INTERACTIONS

No interaction studies have been performed.

Do not mix SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 with other vaccines/products in the same syringe.

10 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

10.1 Mechanism of Action

SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 encodes for the pre-fusion stabilized Spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 original variant and Omicron variant (B.1.1.529 [BA.4/5]). After intramuscular injection, cells take up the lipid nanoparticle, effectively delivering the mRNA sequences into cells for expression of the SARS-CoV-2 S antigen. The delivered mRNA does not enter the cellular nucleus or interact with the genome, is nonreplicating, and is expressed transiently. The proteins undergo post-translational modification and trafficking resulting in properly folded, fully functional Spike proteins that are inserted into the cellular membrane of the expressing cell(s). The Spike proteins are membrane bound, mimicking the presentation of natural infection. The vaccine induces both neutralizing antibody and cellular immune responses (T-cell and B-cell) to the Spike (S) antigen, which may contribute to protection against COVID-19 disease.

14 CLINICAL TRIALS

14.1 Trial Design and Study Demographics

The safety and effectiveness of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 (elasomeran/davesomeran) mRNA vaccine for children 6 through 11 years of age and adolescents 12 through 17 years of age are inferred from studies of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) in individuals 18 years of age and older, as well as data from studies which evaluated the primary series and booster vaccination with SPIKEVAX.

The safety of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent in adolescents 12 through 17 years of age (50 mcg) is inferred from safety data from studies of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX in adolescents 12 through 17 years of age. The safety of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX Bivalent in children 6 to 11 years of age (25 mcg) is inferred primarily from the safety profile of SPIKEVAX administered as a booster dose in children 6 to 11 years of age. Safety data from studies in individuals ≥18 years of age using SPIKEVAX Bivalent (50 mcg) are also considered supportive.

The safety of a booster dose of SPIKEVAX is based on safety data from clinical trials which evaluated primary and booster vaccination with SPIKEVAX (see CLINICAL TRIALS, Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions) and post marketing safety data. Safety data accrued with SPIKEVAX and SPIKEVAX Bivalent in individuals ≥18 years of age are relevant to the SPIKEVAX Bivalent vaccine in individuals 6 through 17 years of age because these vaccines are manufactured using the same process.

14.1.1 SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original / Omicron BA.1) Booster (Participants ≥ 18 Years of Age)

The safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original / Omicron BA.1) booster dose are evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2/3 open-label study in participants 18 years of age and older (Study P205). In this study 437 participants received the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg booster dose and 377 participants received the SPIKEVAX original 50 mcg booster dose. Overall, of the SPIKEVAX Bivalent group 59.0% were female, 41.0% were male, 89.2% were White, and 10.8% were Hispanic or Latino. The median age was 60 years (range: 20 to 88 years) and 39.8% of participants were ≥ 65 years of age. Demographic and baseline characteristics were similar between the SPIKEVAX Bivalent 50 mcg and SPIKEVAX 50 mcg groups.

In Study P205 SPIKEVAX Bivalent was administered as a second booster dose. The median time between a first booster dose and the second booster dose with SPIKEVAX Bivalent was 136 days (range: 88 to 408 days). At baseline, 22.0% of subjects receiving SPIKEVAX Bivalent as a second booster dose had evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

14.1.2 SPIKEVAX - Participants 18 Years of Age and Older

The safety and efficacy of SPIKEVAX (elasomeran) were evaluated in Study P301, a Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, multicentre study in participants 18 years of age and older (COVE Study). A total of

30,351 (15,181 in the SPIKEVAX group and N=15,170 in the placebo group) participants were randomized equally to receive 2 doses of SPIKEVAX or placebo separated by 28 days. Randomization was stratified by age and risk of severe COVID-19 as follows: ≥ 65 years old, < 65 years old and at increased risk for the complications of COVID-19, and < 65 years old and not at increased risk for the complications of COVID-19.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with known history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, asplenia or recurrent severe infections were excluded from the study. The primary efficacy was symptomatic* COVID-19 infection confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and by a clinical adjudication committee. The population for the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint included participants who did not have evidence of prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 through 14 days after the second dose. Participants are planned to be followed for up to 24 months for assessments of safety and efficacy against COVID-19 disease.

* Symptomatic COVID-19 case definition: At least two of the following systemic symptoms: fever (≥38ºC), chills, myalgia, headache, sore throat, new olfactory and taste disorder(s); or the participant must have experienced at least one of the following respiratory signs/symptoms: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or clinical or radiographical evidence of pneumonia; and the participant must have at least one NP swab, nasal swab, or saliva sample (or respiratory sample, if hospitalized) positive for SARS- CoV-2 by RT-PCR. COVID-19 cases were adjudicated by a Clinical Adjudication Committee.

14.2 Study Results

14.2.1 SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original / Omicron BA.1) Booster Dose Immunogenicity in Participants ≥ 18

Years of Age

The safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) booster dose are evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2/3 open-label study in participants 18 years of age and older (Study P205). For the purpose of this clinical indication, data from Part G and Part F of the study are considered. Part G consisted of participants that were administered SPIKEVAX Bivalent vaccine as a second booster dose (50 mcg, mRNA-1273.214 [25 mcg elasomeran and 25 mcg imelasomeran]). The comparator group is from Part F, where study participants received SPIKEVAX original (50 mcg, mRNA-1273) as a second booster dose.

Immunobridging analyses compared the neutralizing antibody titers (ID50) 29 days following the second booster dose (P205 Part G; N=334) to the corresponding titers 29 days following the second booster dose (P205 Part F; N=260) against the Omicron BA.1 subvariant.

In this study, the primary analysis was based on the immunogenicity set, which included participants with no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline (pre-second booster dose).

The estimated Day 29 neutralising antibody GMTs against Omicron were 2479.9 (95%CI: 2264.5, 2715.8) and 1421.2 (95%CI: 1283.0, 1574.4) in the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Part G) and SPIKEVAX original (Part F) second booster groups, respectively, and the GMR was 1.75 (97.5% CI: 1.49, 2.04). The Omicron SRRs were 100% (95%CI: 98.9, 100) and 99.2% (95%CI: 97.2, 99.9), 29 days in the mRNA-1273.214 and mRNA-1273 groups, respectively, and the SRR difference was 1.5% (97.5%CI: -1.1, 4.0). The findings are summarized in Table .

Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; GLSM = geometric least squares mean; GMFR = geometric mean fold-rise; GMR = geometric mean ratio; GMT = geometric mean titre; ID50 = 50% inhibitory dilution; LLOQ = lower limit of quantification; nAb = neutralising antibodies; PsVNA = pseudotyped virus neutralisation assay; SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome-2; n = number of participants with non-missing data at the corresponding timepoint; N1 = number of participants with non-missing data at pre-vaccination baseline and the corresponding timepoint.

a 95% CI is calculated based on the t-distribution of the log-transformed values or the difference in the log-transformed values for GM value and GM fold-rise, respectively, then back transformed to the original scale for presentation. b Based on ANCOVA modeling; the model includes adjustment for treatment group, pre-booster antibody titres, and age groups.

C Seroresponse at a participant level is defined as a change from below the LLOQ to equal or above 4 x LLOQ if the participant’s baseline is below the LLOQ, or at least a 4-fold rise if the baseline is equal to or above the LLOQ. For participants without pre-Dose 1 antibody titer information, seroresponse is defined as >= 4*LLOQ for participants with negative SARS-CoV-2 status at their pre-dose 1 of the primary series, and these titers are imputed as <LLOQ at pre-dose 1 of primary series. For participants without SARS-CoV-2 status information at pre-dose 1 of primary series, their pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 status is used to impute their SARS-CoV-2 status at their pre-dose 1 of primary series.

d 95% CI is calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

e 97.5% CI was calculated by stratified Miettinen-Nurminen method adjusted by age group. The SRR difference is a calculated common risk difference using inverse-variance stratum weights and the middle point of Miettinen-Nurminen confidence limits of each one of the stratum risk differences. The stratified Miettinen-Nurminen estimate of the CI cannot be calculated when the seroresponse rate in both groups is 100%, absolute difference is reported.

14.2.1.1 SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) Observed Neutralising Antibody Titres for Omicron

Subvariant BA.4/5

In an exploratory analysis, additional analytical testing of SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1) was conducted to assess neutralizing antibody response against the dominant circulating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants BA.4/5 in July 2022.

For all participants regardless of prior SARs-CoV-2 infection the estimated Day 29 neutralising antibody GMTs against Omicron BA. 4/5 were 985.38 (95%CI: 914.77, 1061.434) and 588.36 (95%CI: 544.08, 636.24) in the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Part G) and SPIKEVAX original (Part F) second booster groups, respectively, and the GMR was 1.68 (95%CI: 1.52, 1.84).

For participants without prior SARs-CoV-2 infection, the estimated Day 29 neutralising antibody GMTs against Omicron BA. 4/5 were 776.45 (95%CI: 719.49, 837.92) and 458.28 (95%CI: 420.62, 499.32) in the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Part G) and SPIKEVAX original (Part F) second booster groups, respectively, and the GMR was 1.69 (95%CI: 1.51, 1.90).

For participants with prior SARs-CoV-2 infection, the estimated Day 29 neutralising antibody GMTs against Omicron BA. 4/5 were 2246.25 (95%CI: 1975.52, 2554.09) and 1406.89 (95%CI: 1227.88, 1612.01) in the SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Part G) and SPIKEVAX original (Part F) second booster groups, respectively, and the GMR was 1.60 (95%CI: 1.34, 1.91).

14.2.2 SPIKEVAX Efficacy in Participants ≥ 18 Years of Age (Based on Cut-off Date of November 21,

2020)

The analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint in the COVE Study (P301) included 28,207 participants 18 years of age and older (14,134 in the SPIKEVAX group and 14,073 in the placebo group). At the time of the final primary efficacy analysis, participants had been followed for symptomatic COVID-19 disease for a median of 2 months after the second dose, corresponding to 3304.9 person years for the SPIKEVAX group and 3273.7 person years in the placebo group.

There were 11 confirmed COVID-19 cases identified in the SPIKEVAX group and 185 in placebo group, respectively, for the primary efficacy analysis. Compared to placebo, efficacy of SPIKEVAX in participants with first COVID-19 occurrence from 14 days after Dose 2 was 94.1% (two-sided 95% confidence interval of 89.3% to 96.8%). In participants 65 years of age and older, efficacy of SPIKEVAX was 86.4% (two-sided 95% confidence interval of 61.4%% to 95.5%). At the time of primary efficacy analysis, there was a total of 30 severe COVID-19 cases reported in the placebo group starting 14 days after Dose 2, per

adjudication committee assessment. No cases of severe COVID-19 were reported in the SPIKEVAX group.

14.2.3 SPIKEVAX Efficacy and Immunogenicity in Adolescents 12 to 17 Years of Age (Based on Cut-off

Date of May 8, 2021)

The vaccine safety, efficacy and immunogenicity in participants 12 to 17 years of age was evaluated in Study P203, an ongoing Phase 2/3 randomised, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, clinical trial. Participants with a known history of SARS-CoV-2 infection were excluded from the study. A total of 3,732 participants were randomised 2:1 to receive 2 doses of SPIKEVAX or 2 doses of saline placebo 28 days apart. Participants will be followed for efficacy and safety until 1 year after the second dose.

There were 0 confirmed COVID-19 cases identified in the mRNA-1273 COVID-19 Vaccine (N=2,162) and 4 in placebo groups (N=1,073), respectively, for the vaccine efficacy analysis. Compared to placebo, efficacy of mRNA-1273 COVID-19 Vaccine in participants with first COVID-19 occurrence from 14 days after Dose 2 was 100% (two-sided 95% confidence interval of 28.9% to 100%).

An analysis of SARS-CoV-2 50% neutralising titers in randomly selected subsets of participants was performed to demonstrate non-inferior immune responses (within 1.5-fold) comparing adolescents 12 to 17 years of age (from Study P203) to participants 18 to 25 years of age (from Study P301) who had no serological or virological evidence of past SARS-CoV-2 infection. The immune response to SPIKEVAX in adolescents 12 to 17 years of age (n=340) was non-inferior to the immune response in participants 18 to 25 years of age (n=305), based on results for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing titers at 28 days after the second dose. The geometric mean titers (GMT) ratio of the adolescents 12 to 17 years of age group to the participants 18 to 25 years of age group was 1.08, with a 2-sided 95% CI of 0.93 to 1.24, meeting the 1.5-fold non-inferiority criterion (the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the geometric mean ratio [GMR] >0.67).

14.2.4 SPIKEVAX Immunogenicity and Efficacy in Children 6 to 11 Years of Age (Based on Cut-off Date of

November 10, 2021)

The vaccine safety, efficacy and immunogenicity in participants 6 to 11 years of age was evaluated in Study P204 Part 2, an ongoing Phase 2/3 randomised, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, clinical trial. Participants with a known history of SARS-CoV-2 infection within 2 weeks of study vaccination were excluded from the study. A total of 4,016 participants were randomised 3:1 to receive 2 doses (0.25 mL, 50 mcg) of SPIKEVAX or saline placebo 28 days apart. Participants will be followed for efficacy and safety until 1 year after the second dose. In Part 2, the median length of follow-up at the data cutoff date of November 10, 2021 was 82 days after dose 1 and 51 days after dose 2.

Efficacy in children 6 to 11 years of age is primarily based upon a comparison of immune responses in this age group to adults 18 to 25 years of age.

An immunobridging analysis evaluating SARS-CoV-2 50% neutralising titers and seroresponse rates 28 days after Dose 2 was conducted in subset of children aged 6 to 11 in the paediatric study (Study P204; N=320) and in participants 18 through 25 years of age from the Phase 3 efficacy study (Study P301; N=295). Subjects had no immunologic or virologic evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline.

The GMR of the neutralising antibody titers in children 6 to 11 years of age compared to the 18- to 25-year-olds was 1.239 (95% CI: 1.072, 1.432). The difference in seroresponse rate was 0.1% (95% CI: -1.9, 2.1). Non-inferiority criteria (lower bound of the 95% CI for GMR > 0.67 and lower bound of the 95% CI of the seroresponse rate difference > -10%) were met (see Table 18).

b Seroresponse at a participant level is defined as a change from below the LLOQ to equal or above 4 × LLOQ, or at least a 4-fold rise if baseline is equal to or above the LLOQ. Percentages are based on the number of participants with non-missing data at baseline and the corresponding timepoint.

c 95% CI is calculated using the Miettinen-Nurminen (score) confidence limits.

An exploratory efficacy analysis evaluating confirmed COVID-19 cases that accrued up to the data cutoff date of November 10, 2021 was performed in 3,497 participants who received two doses of either SPIKEVAX (n=2,644) or placebo (n=853), and had a negative baseline SARS-CoV-2 status. There were 3 confirmed cases in each arm, with the incidence rate per 1000 person-years being smaller in the vaccine arm (5.04) than in the placebo arm (16.26).

14.2.5 SPIKEVAX Immunogenicity in Participants ≥ 18 Years of Age – After Booster Dose

Effectiveness of the single booster dose of 50 mcg of SPIKEVAX in adults 18 years of age and older who received a 2-dose primary series with 100 mcg SPIKEVAX at least 6 months prior to booster was inferred by comparing the antibody titers from Study P201 Part B to the pivotal adult Study P301.

Study P201 Part B was an open-label study assessing immunogenicity responses following administration of a 50 mcg booster of SPIKEVAX to participants primed with 100 mcg doses of SPIKEVAX. Participants with negative baseline SARS-CoV-2 status were randomly selected from Study P301 participants in the SPIKEVAX group to form an Immunogenicity Subset in Study P301, which was used as the comparator arm for the Study P201 Part B immunobridging analysis.

Immunobridging analyses compared the neutralizing antibody titers (ID50) 28 days following the booster dose (201 Part B; N=149) to the corresponding titers 28 days after completion of the primary series in a random subset of participants 18 years of age and older from the Phase 3 efficacy study (P301; N=1055).

In participants who were primed with a 2-dose series of 100 mcg of SPIKEVAX, single booster dose of 50 mcg of SPIKEVAX demonstrated a geometric mean fold rise of 12.99 (95% CI: 11.04, 15.29) from pre-booster values of neutralizing antibodies as compared to 28 days after the booster dose. The geometric mean ratio (comparing the antibody levels on Day 29 in Study P201 Part B vs. the antibody levels on Day 57 after the priming series in Study P301) was 1.76 (95% CI: 1.50, 2.06), successfully meeting the pre-specified non-inferiority criterion of 0.67 corresponding to non-inferiority margin of 1.5. The analysis is summarized in Table .

14.2.6 SPIKEVAX Immunogenicity in Participants 12 to 17 Years of Age – After Booster Dose

Effectiveness of a booster dose of 50 mcg of SPIKEVAX in participants 12 years through 17 years of age was inferred by comparing the post-booster antibody titers from Study P203 to those following the primary series in adults 18 through 25 years of age in the pivotal adult Study P301.

In an open-label phase of Study P203, participants 12 years through 17 years of age received a single booster dose at least 5 months after completion of the primary series (two doses 28 days apart). The primary immunogenicity analysis population included 257 booster dose participants from Study P203 and a random subset of 295 participants from Study P301 (ages ≥18 to ≤25 years) who previously completed a primary vaccination series of two doses 28 days apart of SPIKEVAX. Study P301 and Study P203 participants included in the analysis population had no serologic or virologic evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to the first primary series dose and prior to the booster dose, respectively. The median time from Dose 2 of the primary series to the booster dose in the primary immunogenicity analysis set in Study P203 was 295 days (range: 274 to 357 days).

In the 257 participants from Study P203, pre-booster (booster dose-Day 1) nAb GMC was 400.4 (95% CI: 370.0, 433.4); on booster dose-Day 29, the GMC was 7172.0 (95% CI: 6610.4, 7781.4). Post-booster booster dose-Day 29 GMC increased approximately 18-fold from pre-booster GMC.

The primary immunogenicity analyses of the GMC ratio and difference in seroresponse rates following the booster dose in Study P203 compared to after the primary series in Study P301 met the pre-defined immunobridging success criteria. Seroresponse for a participant was defined as achieving a ≥4-fold rise of neutralizing antibody concentration from baseline (before the first dose of the primary series in Study P301 and Study P203). These analyses are summarized in Table 20.

A descriptive analysis evaluated seroresponse rates using pre-booster neutralizing antibody concentration in Study P203 participants. The booster dose seroresponse rate, with seroresponse defined as at least a 4-fold rise relative to the pre-booster concentration, was 96.5%. In this post-hoc analysis, the difference in seroresponse rates was -2.8% (96.5 % in Study P203 - 99.3% in Study P301) with the 95% CI of (-5.9, -0.6).

14.2.7 SPIKEVAX Immunogenicity in Participants 6 to 11 Years of Age – After Booster Dose

Effectiveness of a booster dose of 25 mcg of SPIKEVAX in participants 6 years through 11 years of age was inferred by comparing the post-booster antibody titers from Study P204 to those following the primary series in adults 18 through 25 years in the pivotal adult Study P301.

In an open-label phase of Study P204, participants 6 years through 11 years of age received a single booster dose at least 6 months after completion of the primary series (two doses 1 month apart). The primary immunogenicity analysis population included 95 booster dose participants in Study P204 and a random subset of 295 participants 18 through 25 years from Study P301 who received two doses of SPIKEVAX 1 month apart. Study P301 and P204 participants included in the analysis population had no serologic or virologic evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to the first primary series dose and prior to the booster dose, respectively.

In the 95 participants, on booster dose-Day 29, the GMC was 5847.5 (95% CI: 4999.6, 6839.1) and the SRR was 100 (95% CI: 95.9, 100.0). Serum nAb levels for children 6 through 11 years in the Per-Protocol immunogenicity subset with pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 negative status and the comparison with those from young adults (18 to 25 years of age) were studied. The GMR of booster dose Day 29 GMC compared to young adults Day 57 GMC was 4.2 (95% CI [3.5, 5.0]), meeting the noninferiority criteria (i.e., lower bound of the 95% CI > 0.667); the SRR difference was 0.7% (95% CI: -3.5, 2.4), meeting the noninferiority criteria (lower bound of the 95% of the SRR difference >-10%).

The primary immunogenicity analyses of the GMC ratio and difference in seroresponse rates following the booster dose in Study P204 compared to following the primary series in Study P301 met the pre-defined immunobridging success criteria. Seroresponse for a participant was defined as achieving a ≥4-fold rise of neutralizing antibody concentration from baseline (before the first dose of the primary series in Study P204 and Study P301). These analyses are summarized in Table 21.

15 MICROBIOLOGY

No microbiological information is required for this vaccine product.

16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

General Toxicology: Intramuscular administration of SPIKEVAX (or other Moderna mRNA investigational vaccines) at doses ranging from 9 to 150 mcg/dose administered once every 2 weeks for up to 6 weeks resulted in transient injection site erythema and edema, body temperature increases, and a generalized systemic inflammatory response. Transient hepatocyte vacuolation and/or Kupffer cell hypertrophy, often observed without liver enzyme elevations, was observed and considered secondary to the systemic inflammatory response. In general, all changes resolved within 2 weeks.

Carcinogenicity: SPIKEVAX has not been evaluated for carcinogenicity in animals, as carcinogenicity studies were not considered relevant to this vaccine.

Genotoxicity: SM-102, a proprietary lipid component of SPIKEVAX, SPIKEVAX Bivalent, and SPIKEVAX Bivalent Original/Omicron BA.4/5 is not genotoxic in the bacterial mutagenicity and the human peripheral blood lymphocytes chromosome aberration assays. Two intravenous in vivo micronucleus assays were conducted with mRNA therapies using the same lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation as SPIKEVAX Bivalent (Original/Omicron BA.1). Equivocal results observed at high systemic concentrations were likely driven by micronuclei formation secondary to elevated body temperature induced by a LNP-driven systemic inflammatory response. The genotoxic risk to humans is considered to be low due to minimal systemic exposure following intramuscular administration, limited duration of exposure, and the negative in vitro results.

Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology: In a pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity study, 0.2 mL of a vaccine formulation containing the same quantity of mRNA (100 mcg) and other ingredients included in a single human dose of SPIKEVAX was administered to female rats by the intramuscular route on four occasions: 28 and 14 days prior to mating, and on gestation days 1 and 13. No vaccine-related adverse effects on female fertility, fetal development or postnatal development were reported in the study.
