A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect, any other event pre-specified in protocol of the study; or considered as an important medical event. AEs included both SAEs and all non-SAEs. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e., excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure.

    Measured: From vaccination on Day 1 up to 1 month after vaccination

  20. Percentage of Participants With SAEs From Vaccination Through 6 Months After the Study Vaccination: SSC Cohort 2; SSC Cohort 1 and 2 Combined

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect, any other event pre-specified in protocol of the study; or considered as an important medical event.

  21. Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination: SSC Cohort 3

    Local reactions: pain at injection site, redness and swelling were recorded by participants in an e-diary or as AEs in the CRF. Redness and swelling were recorded in mdu (range:1 to 21), 1 mdu= 0.5 cm and were graded as mild (>2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (>5.0 to 10.0 cm), severe (>10.0 cm) and Grade 4 (necrosis [swelling] and necrosis or exfoliative dermatitis [redness]). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (interfered with activity), severe (prevented daily activity) and Grade 4 (ER visit or hospitalization for severe pain at injection site). Grade 4 local reactions were classified by investigator or medically qualified person.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination

  22. Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination: SSC Cohort 3

    Systemic events were recorded by participants in an e-diary or as AEs in the CRF. Fever: defined as oral temperature >=38 deg C and categorized as >= 38.0-38.4 deg C, >38.4-38.9 deg C, >38.9-40.0 deg C and >40.0 deg C. Fatigue, headache, chills, new or worsened muscle pain and joint pain: mild (didn't interfere with activity), moderate (some interference with activity), severe (prevented daily routine activity). Vomiting: mild: 1-2 times in 24h, moderate: >2 times in 24h, severe: required IV hydration. Diarrhea: mild: 2-3 loose stools in 24h, moderate: 4-5 loose stools in 24h, severe: 6 or more loose stools in 24h. Grade 4 for all events except fever: ER visit/hospitalization. Grade 4 events were classified by investigator or medically qualified person.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination

  25. GMTs of SARS-CoV-2 Omi JN.1 and XBB.1.5 Variant-Neutralizing Titers at 1 Month After Vaccination in SSC Cohorts 1 + 2 Combined and Historical Control Group From SSA

    GMTs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the titers and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ.

    Measured: At 1 month after vaccination

  26. GMFR of SARS-CoV-2 Omi JN.1 and XBB.1.5 Variant-Neutralizing Titers From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination in SSC Cohorts 1 + 2 Combined and Historical Control Group From SSA

    GMFRs were defined as geometric mean ratios of the results after vaccination to the results before vaccination. GMFRs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis.

    Measured: From before Vaccination to 1 month after Vaccination

  27. Percentage of Participants With Seroresponse to SARS-CoV-2 OMI JN.1 and XBB.1.5 Variant-Neutralizing Titers at 1 Month After Vaccination in SSC Cohorts 1 + 2 Combined and Historical Control Group From SSA

    Seroresponse was defined as achieving a >=4-fold rise from baseline (before the study vaccination). If the baseline measurement was below the LLOQ, a postvaccination assay result >=4 *LLOQ is considered a seroresponse.

    Measured: At 1 month after vaccination

  28. GMTs of SARS-CoV-2 Omi KP.2 and Omi JN.1 Variant-Neutralizing Titers at 1 Month After Vaccination in SSC Cohort 3 and SSC Cohorts 1 + 2 Combined as Control

    GMTs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the titers and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ.

    Measured: At 1 month after vaccination

  29. GMFR of SARS-CoV-2 Omi KP.2 and Omi JN.1 Variant-Neutralizing Titers From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination in SSC Cohort 3 and Cohorts 1 + 2 Combined as Control

    GMFRs were defined as geometric mean ratios of the results after vaccination to the results before vaccination. GMFRs and 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the LLOQ were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis.

    Measured: From before vaccination on Day 1 up to 1 month after vaccination

  30. Percentage of Participants With Seroresponse to SARS-CoV-2 Omi KP.2 and Omi JN.1 Variant-Neutralizing Titers at 1 Month After Vaccination in SSC Cohort 3 and Cohorts 1 + 2 Combined as Control

    Seroresponse was defined as achieving a >=4-fold rise from baseline (before the study vaccination). If the baseline measurement was below the LLOQ, a postvaccination assay result >=4 *LLOQ is considered a seroresponse.

    Measured: At 1 month after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing BNT162b2 (Omi XBB.1.5), BNT162b2 (Omi JN.1) and BNT162b2 (Omi KP.2) in people with SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19, run by BioNTech SE at 37 sites in United States.

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 17 inclusion and 33 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 28 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 28 Apr 2026). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination: SSA (time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination). The study lists 30 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 NCT05997290, which also lists 4 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 28 Apr 2026.
