Brief Summary:
This will be a Phase 2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blind study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 30 µg of BNT162b2 or placebo administered in 2 doses, 21 days apart, in approximately 350 healthy pregnant women 18 years of age or older vaccinated at 24 to 34 weeks' gestation. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive BNT162b2 or placebo (saline).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
SARS-CoV-2 Infection COVID-19 Maternal Immunization Biological: BNT162b2 Other: Placebo Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The Phase 2 portion of the study will include approximately 200 pregnant women randomized 1:1 to receive BNT162b2 or placebo (saline) at 27 to 34 weeks' gestation. IRC review of safety data through 7 days after the second dose for all Phase 2 participants will be completed.

The Phase 3 portion of this study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 among pregnant women enrolled at 24 to 34 weeks' gestation.

Maternal participants who originally received placebo will receive BNT162b2 at defined time points as part of the study.

    GMR, estimated by the ratio of the geometric mean of SARS CoV 2 neutralizing titers in pregnant women to those in nonpregnant female participants

  6. Describe the immune response in pregnant women and reference to the immune response in nonpregnant female participants from the C4591001 study with and without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection [ Time Frame: 1 month after Dose 2 ]
    GMR, estimated by the ratio of the geometric mean of SARS CoV 2 neutralizing titers in pregnant women to those in nonpregnant female participants


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Confirmed COVID 19 in participants without evidence of infection prior to vaccination [ Time Frame: 7 days after Dose 2 through 1 month after delivery ]

  3. Describe the efficacy of prophylactic BNT162b2 against asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection [ Time Frame: 1 month after delivery ]
    Incidence of asymptomatic infection of SARS-CoV-2 based on N-binding antibody seroconversion

  4. Describe the immune response over time and persistence of prophylactic BNT162b2 [ Time Frame: At baseline (before Dose 1), 2 weeks after Dose 2, 1 month after Dose 2, at delivery, and 6 months after delivery ]
    GMCs/GMTs and GMFRs of Full-length S-binding IgG levels and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing titers

  5. Assess the safety of maternal immunization in infants born to maternal participants who were vaccinated with BNT162b2 during pregnancy [ Time Frame: At birth ]
    Specific birth outcomes (infant outcome using percentage of births clinically assessed as either normal, congenital malformation/anomaly or other neonatal problem as reported by the investigator)

  6. Assess the safety of maternal immunization in infants born to maternal participants who were vaccinated with BNT162b2 during pregnancy [ Time Frame: From birth through 1 month of age ]

  3. History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the study intervention or any related vaccine.
  4. Participants with known or suspected immunodeficiency.
  5. Bleeding diathesis or condition associated with prolonged bleeding that would in the opinion of the investigator contraindicate intramuscular injection.
  6. Previous vaccination with any coronavirus vaccine.
  7. Receipt of medications intended to prevent COVID 19.
  8. Receipt of blood/plasma products or immunoglobulin, from 60 days before administration of study intervention, or planned receipt through delivery, with 1 exception, anti-D immunoglobulin (eg, RhoGAM), which can be given at any time.
  9. Current alcohol abuse or illicit drug use.
  10. Participants who receive treatment with immunosuppressive therapy, including cytotoxic agents or systemic corticosteroids, eg, for cancer or an autoimmune disease, or planned receipt through the postvaccination blood draw.
  11. Participation in other studies involving study intervention within 28 days prior to study entry and/or during study participation.
  12. Previous participation in other studies involving study intervention containing LNPs.
