Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BNT162b2, BNT162b2 OMI and Combination BNT162b2 and BNT162b2 OMI in people with SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19, run by BioNTech SE at 154 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 31 inclusion and 81 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 154 sites in United States, South Africa, Brazil, Germany, Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Nov 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SSA: Occurrence of First COVID-19 Infection After Booster Dose Per 1000 Person-Years of Blinded Follow-up Without Evidence of Past SARS-CoV-2 Infection at Interim Analysis: Evaluable Efficacy Population (time frame: From 7 Days after booster vaccination to end of surveillance period, total surveillance time (in 1000 person-year [PY]) for BNT162b2 was 0.823 and for Placebo was 0.792). The study lists 100 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04955626, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Nov 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
