A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Immune Response, and Safety of a COVID-19 Vaccine in Adults ≥ 18 Years With a Pediatric Expansion in Adolescents (12 to<18 Years) at Risk for SARS-CoV-2

Open to people ages 12 years and up

Adult Participants :

Each participant in the Adult Main Study and/or the Booster Amendment must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study: 1. Adults ≥ 18 years of age at screening who, by virtue of age, race, ethnicity or life circumstances, are considered at substantial risk of exposure to and infection with SARS CoV-2. 2. Willing and able to give informed consent prior to study enrollment and to comply with study procedures. 3. Participants of childbearing potential (defined as any participant who has experienced menarche and who is NOT surgically sterile [i.e., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy] or postmenopausal [defined as amenorrhea at least 12 consecutive months]) must agree to be heterosexually inactive from at least 28 days prior to enrollment and through 3 months after the last vaccination OR agree to consistently use a medically acceptable method of contraception from at least 28 days prior to enrollment and through 3 months after the last vaccination. 4. Is medically stable, as determined by the investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs [to include body temperature], medical history, and targeted physical examination [to include body weight]). Vital signs must be within medically acceptable ranges prior to the first vaccination. 5. Agree to not participate in any other SARS-CoV-2 prevention trial during the study follow-up. 6. For the Booster Amendment only, active participants who received a full dose regimen of active vaccine (SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant) or any authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine are eligible for participation. Such participants must demonstrate receipt by producing valid documentation of vaccination at the booster visit.

Pediatric Participants :

Each participant in the Pediatric Expansion and/or the Booster Amendment must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study: 1. Pediatric participants 12 to < 18 years of age at screening, determined to be healthy or medically stable by the investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs [to include body temperature], medical history, and targeted physical examination [to include body weight]). Vital signs must be within medically acceptable ranges prior to the first vaccination. 2. Participant and parent(s)/caregiver(s) or legally acceptable representative willing and able to give informed consent and assent, as required, prior to study enrollment and to comply with study procedures. 3. Participants of childbearing potential (defined as any participant who has experienced menarche and who is NOT surgically sterile [ie, hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy] must agree to be heterosexually inactive from at least 28 days prior to enrollment and through 3 months after the last vaccination OR agree to consistently use a medically acceptable method of contraception from at least 28 days prior to enrollment and through 3 months after the last vaccination. 4. Agree to not participate in another SARS-CoV-2 prevention trial during the study follow-up. 5. For the Booster Amendment only, active participants who received a full dose regimen of active vaccine (SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant) or any authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine are eligible for participation. Such participants must demonstrate receipt by producing valid documentation of vaccination.

Site-Specific Sub Study:

Each participant in the Substudy must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study: 1. Be an active, enrolled participant in the 2019nCoV-301 study. 2. Adults 18 years of age or older or adolescents 12 to < 18 years of age at initial screening for the parent study. 3. Willing and able to give informed consent prior to substudy enrollment and to comply with extra study procedures. 4. Documented receipt of the 2 doses of the primary series of NVX-CoV2373 and the booster (third dose) of NVX-CoV2373 in the parent protocol. The booster dose must have been administered at least 6 months prior to entering the substudy. 5. Participants of childbearing potential (defined as any participant who has experienced menarche and who is NOT surgically sterile or postmenopausal) must agree to be heterosexually inactive from at least 28 days prior to entering and through the end of the substudy OR agree to consistently use a medically acceptable method of contraception for the 28 days of follow-up for the substudy. 6. Is medically stable, as determined by the investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs (to include body temperature) and targeted physical examination (if medically indicated by reported symptoms). Vital signs must be within medically acceptable ranges prior to administration of study vaccination. 7. Agree to not participate in any other non-NVX-CoV2373 study during the substudy.

Note: For participants who develop COVID-19, anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapy (approved, authorized or investigational) is permitted.

Adult and adolescent participants meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:

1. Unstable acute or chronic illness. Criteria for unstable medical conditions include:
   1. Substantive changes in chronic prescribed medication (change in class or significant change in dose) in the past 2 months.
   2. Currently undergoing workup of undiagnosed illness that could lead to diagnosis of a new condition.

Note: Well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] with undetectable HIV RNA [< 50 copies/mL] and CD4 count > 200 cells/µL for at least 1 year, documented within the last 6 months, is NOT considered an unstable chronic illness. Participant's or parent's/caregiver's verbal report will suffice as documentation.

1. Participation in research involving an investigational product (drug/biologic/device) administered within 45 days prior to first study vaccination.
2. History of a previous laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19. A previous diagnosis of COVID-19 during participation in this trial is not exclusionary for the Booster Amendment.
3. Received any vaccine within 4 days prior to first study vaccination or planned receipt of any vaccine before Day 49 (i.e., 28 days after second vaccination), except for influenza vaccination, which may be received ≥ 4 days prior to or ≥ 7 days after either study vaccination. Rabies vaccine, at any time it is medically indicated, is not exclusionary. Prior receipt of another approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccine prior to booster injection is not exclusionary in the Booster Amendment. Such participants must provide documentation of vaccine and date(s) of administration.
4. Autoimmune or immunodeficiency disease/condition (iatrogenic or congenital) or therapy that causes clinically significant immunosuppression. NOTE: Stable endocrine disorders (eg, thyroiditis, pancreatitis, including stable diabetes mellitus) are NOT excluded.
5. Chronic administration (defined as > 14 continuous days) of immunosuppressant or systemic glucocorticoids causing clinically significant immunocompromise, within 90 days prior to first study vaccination and/or third (booster) vaccination. NOTE: An immunosuppressant dose of glucocorticoid is defined as a systemic dose ≥ 20 mg of prednisone per day or equivalent. The use of topical, inhaled, and nasal glucocorticoids is permitted. Topical tacrolimus and ocular cyclosporin are permitted.
6. Received immunoglobulin or blood-derived products, within 90 days prior to first study vaccination and/or third (booster) vaccination.
7. Active cancer (malignancy) on chemotherapy that is judged to cause clinically significant immunocompromise within 1 year prior to first study vaccination (with the exception of malignancy cured via excision, at the discretion of the investigator). This criterion is not applicable to participants diagnosed during participation in this trial who accept participation in the Booster Amendment.
8. Any known allergies to products contained in the investigational product.
9. Participants who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or who plan to become pregnant within 3 months following last study vaccination.
10. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a health risk to the participant if enrolled or could interfere with evaluation of the trial vaccine or interpretation of study results.
11. Study team member or first-degree relative of any study team member (inclusive of Sponsor, and study site personnel involved in the study).
12. Current participation in any other COVID-19 prevention clinical trial.
13. Adult participants who have not received a full dose of any authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine and are unable to provide valid documentation of vaccination will be excluded from the Booster Amendment.
