1. INTRODUCTION 
This i nternal r eview committee (IRC) (hereafter referred to as “the committee”) is a single, 
expert advisory group including one or more Pfizer colleagues (who are not directly  involved 
in the conduct of this study) established to oversee this Pfizer -managed  trial (C4591001).  
The primary rationale for establishing the committee is to  make certain that appropriate 
safeguards are in place to help ensure the safety of participant s. The IRC will be responsible 
for reviewing safety and immunogenicity data at multiple planned timepoints in the C4591001 study, as well as  in the event a stopping rule is met . 
Pfizer is responsible for conducting this study. BioNTech is the regulatory sponsor of this study. 
1.1. Study Design  
C4591001:  A Phase 1/2, Placebo -Controlled, Randomized, Observer-Blind, Dose-Finding 
Study To Describe The Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity, And Potential Efficacy  Of 
SARS COV-2-RNA Vaccine Candidates Against COVID 19 In Healthy Adults Please refer to the curren t C4591001 protocol for details of the study design  
1.2. Purpose of the Committee  
The committee will review accumulating safety and immunogenicity data from the above-
mentioned study during Stage 1 and 2. The committee will advise the study team(s) and senior management regarding the safety of current participants, as well as the continuing scientific validity and progress of the trial. The committee will review safety data which may contribute to stopping rules at ad hoc meetings and all available safety data at regular meetings (Refer to  Section  5 for details).  
 In addition to safety review by the committee, qualified Pfizer  personnel will review safet y 
data as specified in the Safety Surveillance Review Plan and will inform the committee of significant findings.  
1.3. Committee Close- Out 
The committee will have completed its work and be dissolved when final data from this  
study under the scope of the IRC Charter has been reviewed.

• Procedural issues such as meeting frequency and format, timing of da ta receipt and 
format (including table layouts), definition of a “quorum” and handling of meeting documentation, and 
• Criteria and process for unblinding the data and maintaining confidentiality of unblinded results (in the case of a blinded trial or an open- label trial in which the 
dissemination of such information is restricted).  
The charter will be finalized and approved prior to the first subject first dose . 
4.3. Review Meetings  
The committee  will convene to review study conduct and safety data at determined intervals 
after the start -up and initial safety review meetings .  Additionally, the committee  will 
convene to review data on an as -needed basis (e.g ., a stopping rule is met, to review reports 
of COVID -19-like illnesses , unexpected safety or study conduct concerns, when a stopping 
rule is met). Committee members will be required to be available at very short notice to allow dose escalation or changes to continuation of specific groups.  Data listings and summaries may  be supplied to c ommittee member s prior to the meeting .  
4.4. Review Meeting Format  
Each  review meeting  will consist of an open session during Stages 1 and 2 of the study. The 
committee and study team will be unblinded during Stage 1 of the study (to identify preferred vaccine candidate(s), dose level(s), number of doses and schedule of administration) and Stage 2 (expanded cohort stage).  The IRC will not be required to meet during Stage 3 of the study.  
No separate open and closed sessions will be required. 4.5. Voting Procedure  
All committee members are voting members and are expected to participate in all meetings 
and voting forums.  Every effort should be made in scheduling meetings to ensure that all members can participate.  I n the unlikely event that not all members are able to participate in 
a meeting, a quorum requires the participation of a majority  of members, one of whom must 
be the Chair , one of whom must be medically qualified and the committee statistician .  A 
majority vote is required to make any of the above recommendations.  In the event of a split vote, the chairperson will make the final decision concerning the committee’s

• Select final vaccine candidate and dose level  
• Withhold final recommendation until further information/data is p rovided. 
• Continue the study as designed. 
• Modify the study and continue. 
• Stop the study. 
Additionally, the committee may be asked to answer study related questions (e.g., concerning operational challenges, impact of findings from Pfizer’s safety data review or impact of emerging external information) provided by the study team.  The answers to  the questions 
will be provided with t he committee recommendation to Pfizer  management  via the 
committee liaison  (role is done by the study team for this study). 
The recommendations should be in accordance with the guidance provided in this charter, the protocol, or the SAP  (or other document, as appropriate, e.g., interim analysis plan).   
6.3. Communication of Recommendations  
For each review meeting, once a committee recommendation has been finalized the committee chairperson will convey the recommendation in writing within the timelines listed on CT22- GSOP -RF11 .  The written communication will consist of the CT22 -GSOP -RF11 
indicating the committee’s recommendation and sufficient information to explain the rationale for any recommendation will be transmitted by secure electronic means  to the study 
team .  A copy of the committee recommendations will be forwarded to the JSRT by a 
member of the study team.  
Review of committee recommendation will be conducted in accordance with CT22- GSOP -
RF11. 6.4. External Pfizer Communication 
The committee ’s recommendation, together with the senior management’s  decision , will be

the decision to stop the trial, or to implement modifications to trial procedures, as appropriate.  
As required, the investigators will be instructed to submit this communication to their 
respective IRB/EC. The committee’s recommendations and senior management endorsement will also be communicated to re gulatory authorities (in accordance with lo cal regulations).
 
6.5. Pfizer Internal Safety Review Committee  
Pfizer has established several ad hoc Internal Safety Review Committees (ISRCs), one for each BU/RU .  The ISRC for a BU is properly firewalled from all stu dy teams conducting 
trials sponsored by that unit.  The primary objective of an ISRC is to assess specific events that may constitute a safety concern  in an unblinded manner.  The assessment could result in 
expedited reports to regulators as required in FDA Final Rule (2010) and EU CT-3 (2011).  The assessment may also lead to safety -related protocol changes .  When necessary, an ISRC 
could look at the occurrence of the specific events across multiple studies in a development program.   
The activities of an ISRC are intended to be complementary and supplemental to existing 
Pfizer safety and risk management processes, including this committee .  There is a charter for 
the ISRC describing in detail the purpose, composition, and operations of an ISRC.  The 
charte r is available upon request.   
There may be several interactions between an ISRC and this committee , including:   
• When the ISRC accepts a request from the signal management lead  to review specific 
event s, the ISRC c hair will notify the committee chairperson  that a request has been 
made and that a review is to be conducted with a target date (typically within 30 calendar days of the request).   
• The committee liaison will supply the ISRC chair a copy of the current com mittee  
charter, open meeting minutes and correspondences from the committee  regarding issues 
for which the ISRC is currently being consulted. 
• ISRC c hair will communicate review findings with the committee chairperson . 
• If no safety concern is identified, the ISRC will communicate this conclusion to the signal management lead with a copy to the committee .

• If a safety concern is identified, the ISRC c hair will communicate its findings to the 
committee chairperson  by an appropriately secure means .  The writte n communication 
contains the ISRC’s rationale and final assessment .   
• The committee chairperson  is requested to acknowledge receipt of the ISRC 
communication as soon as possible.  The committee  considers the findings identified by 
the ISRC but is not oblig ated to act on them .   
• Where disagreement exists between the recommendations of the ISRC and the committee , the two committees attempt to reach consensus through additional 
communication .   
• The final decision to accept or reject the committee’s  and/or ISRC ’s recommendation 
resides with sponsor management . 
• The safety data (tables, listings, and reports, etc.) received by the ISRC for review are kept confidential and will be disclosed to the co mmittee  upon request from the 
committee chairperson . 
7. WRITTEN RECORDS

Appendix  2. Plan to Control Dissemination of Results 
This is an observer-blinded study as the physical appearance of the BNT162  vaccine 
candidates  and placebo differ.  
 At the study site : The participant, investigator, study coordinator, and other site staff will be 
blinded. The dispenser(s)/administrator(s) and  those study site team members who are 
involved in ensuring that protocol requirements for investigational product handling, allocation, and administration are fulfilled at the site (e .g. study manager, clinical research 
associates) will be unblinded for the duration of the study.   Breaking the blind by the Investigator: Blinding codes should be broken by the investigator only when knowledge of the actual treatment code is absolutely essential for further management of the participant . The method will be an electronic process via Impala.  
 Pfizer : For  Stage 1 (dose- finding ) and Stage 2 ( expanded cohort ): Pfizer  study team 
members are un blinded to the vaccine assigned/received by all participants .   
 Pfizer : Laboratory personnel performing the immunologic assays will remain blinded to 
vaccine assigned/received throughout the study.   Unblinded Pfizer personnel: Randomization codes will be released to reporting team (unblinded reporting statistician and unblinded programmer) who need access to the codes to generate the summaries and participan t data listings for the review by the unblinded 
committee members  during Stages 1 and 2 the study. Randomization codes will be available 
to the committee via the reporting team .  
 Release of the randomization codes to designated personnel will only be performed upon 
completion of the Randomization Code Release Request Form in GRAABS. Randomization codes and unblinded data will be maintained in a secure location.

1.INTRODUCTION
This External Data Monitoring Committee ( E-DMC) (hereafter referred to as “the 
committee”) is a single, external, independent, expert advisory  group established to oversee 
safet y and efficacy  data from theBNT162 Vaccine Program.  The primary  rationale for 
establishing the committee is to make certain that appropriate external safeguards are in place 
to help ensure the safet y of subjects and to maintain scientific rigor and study  integrity while
the trial is on -going .  
Pfizer is responsible for conducting this study . BioNTechis the regulatory  sponsor of this 
study .
1.1.Study Design
The COVID -19 program is being developed to address thepandemic crisis which has spread 
globall y at high speed. There are currently  no vaccines to prevent infection with 
SARS -CoV -2 or antiviral drugs to treat COVID -19. 
Given the rapid transmission of COVID- 19 and inci dence of disease in the United States and 
elsewhere, the rapid development of a safe and effective vaccine is of utmost importance.
Inthe COVID -19 vaccine program, the safety and tolerability of the BNT162 vaccine candidates
will be evaluated by  assessing prompted local injection -site reactions and systemic events, as 
well as adverse events and serious adverse events. Predefined stopping rules may be used to 
ensure safety  of study  subjects and guide dose escalation and partic ipants may  also undergo 
hematological and chemistry evaluation as defined per protocol . These procedures are described 
in detail in each study protocol where relevant. The background of the COVID -19 vaccine 
candidates and pre -clinical development is descri bed in the BNT162 COVID -19 Investigator 
Brochure (IB). The updated IB will be provided to the committee when available.
Please refer to the current study protocol sfor details of the study  design.
1.2.Purpose of the Committee
The committee will review accumula ting safet y data across all studies , as well as efficacy  
data in the Phase 2/3portion of the C4591001 study .    The committee will advise Pfizer
regarding the safet y of current participants and those yet to be recruited, as well as the 
continuing scientific validity  of the trial .  In addition to safet y review b y the committee , 
qualified Pfizer personnel will review safet ydata as specified in the safet y surveillance 
review plan and will inform the committee of significant findings.  Efficacy data from the
C4591001 study  will be available to the committee when there is a planned interim analy sis 
of efficacy  or if this is considered necessary  to conduct a risk-benefit assessment.

4.COMMITTEE MEETINGS
4.1.Meeting Schedule/Frequency
A start-upmeeting (refer to Section 4.2Start -up Meeting) will be scheduled with the 
committee and members of the study  team .
The first committee meeting to review study  data will be scheduled no later than within the 
first month of the first participant dosed with BNT162 vaccine candidates andsooner if 
needed.
Thereafter, the committee will meet in person or via teleconference as required by  the 
protocol to review cumulative safet y data , effic acy data at the time of interim analy sesand to 
make risk- benefit assessments until the study  in the program is complete or at intervals 
determined based on availability  of key  study  data. It is anticipated that regular scheduled 
meetings wi lloccur approximately monthly . The frequency  of DMC meetings may decrease
(with agreement between Pfizer and the DMC) as the COVID vaccine program matures
however no fewer than two meetings per y ear will be scheduled . 
During Phase 2/3 portion of the C4591001 stud y, the meeting frequency  for cumulative data 
review will be determined based onavailability  of key  study  data . DMC meetings may  occur 
weekl y and DMC members will be expected to convene at short notice due to the accelerated 
pace and critical need of the s tudy if required .  The chairperson and Pfizer have the discretion 
to change the meeting frequency  (e.g. ifenrollment is slow) or request addit ional ad hoc 
meetings with the rationale documented appropriately .  
4.2.Start -up Meeting
As soon as possible after the committee is formed the committee members, the reporting 
statistician, and members of the study  team will meet to discuss the operational details of the 
committee and the C4591001 protocol . The committee will review and provid e input on 
Pfizer’s proposals for data to be monitored, frequency  of reviews, methods for review, and 
criteria for making recommendations to Pfizer.

with corresponding earl y expansion of testing of vaccine candidates, doses, or regimens to 
larger numbers of subject or, conversel y, curtailment of testing for other candidates, doses, or 
regimens.   Immunogenicity  data may  also be reviewed. Thecommittee chairperson will 
communicate an y required action according to the communication plan (refer to Section 6
Communication Plan Between Pfizer and the Committee ).
5.1.1. S erious Adverse Events
All SAEs deemed unexpected and related to BNT162 SARS -CoV -2 RNA vaccines , either by  
the investigator or Pfize r (also known as SUSARs [s uspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions ]), willbe forwarded to the committee at the same time as they  are report ed to the 
RAs, investigators, and institutional review boards (I RBs)/ethics committees (ECs).  The 
term “unexpected” refers to an event that is either not listed in the I nvestigator ’sBrochure
(IB) Reference Safety  Information section or is of greater severity  or specificity  than that 
listed in the IBReference Safety  Information section.
All SAEs collected through 6 months after the vaccination schedule is completed will be 
reviewed contemporaneously . Additionally , SAE data from the ongoing BioNTech clinical 
trial (BNT162 -01) will be provided to the commit teefor information during the Phase 1 
portion of the C4591001 study  as it becomes available to ensure a comprehensive overview 
of information of the BNT 162vaccines is available . 
5.1.2. Other Safety
Cumulative data of reactogenicity events and unsolicited adverse events (including that from 
the ongoing BioNTech clinical trial as it becomes available in Phase 1) will be reviewed on a 
regular basis during scheduled commi tteemeetings. Contemporaneous review of related AEs 
up to 1 month after completion of the vaccination schedule will be performed . In addition,
during Phase 2/3 the committee will review all AEs on a weekl y basis until safet y data 
through 7 day s after dose 2 from the first 360 participants has been submitted to regulatory  
authorities. The committee will schedule an adhoc meeting if deemed necessary . 
The committee will meet as soon as possible to review all available relevant data when an y 
stopping rule is met . Please refer to sections 8.2.3 and 10.7 of the C4591001 protocol for 
stopping rules.
5.1.3. Surveillance of Events That Could Represent Enhanced COVID -19 Disease
Because within the course of COVID -19, the illness caused by  SARS -CoV -2 infection, the 
onset of an exaggerated adaptive immune response and containment of viral replication in 
some instances is associated with a “cy tokine storm” that accompanies clinical d eterioration,

patient profiles of all nucleic acid amplification test(NAAT )-confirmed cases will be 
reviewed contemporaneously  by the commi tteeduring Phase 1 of the study .
In Phase 2/3 , there will be planned reviews of the vaccine/placebo split of protocol -defined 
severe COVID -19cases at thetime of efficacy /futility  anal yses. The DMC will review this 
data and make recommendations base don the guidance outlined in Section 10.7 of the 
protocol: S topping and alert rules for severe dise ase defined.
Additionally , in Phase 2/3, the unblinded team supporting the DMC, including an unblinded 
medical monitor, will review cases of severe COVID -19 as they  are received and will review 
AEs at least weekly  for additional potential cases of severe COVID -19.  At a ny point, the 
unblinded team may  discuss with the DMC chair whether the DMC should review cases for 
an adverse imbalance of cases of COVID -19 and/or severe COVID -19 between the vaccine 
and placebo groups. If so, t he DMC will then meet to review available severe COVID -19 
cases to determine whether the observed imbalance should result in modifications to the 
study .Please refer to section 8.2.4 of the protocol for details.
In addition to the above , data regarding COVID- 19 confirmed illnesses reported in the
BioNTech study  will be reviewed by  the committee when information is available. 
The purpose of these reviews will be to identify  whether any  features of each case appear
unusual, greater inseverity , compared to available information at the time of review. 
Indicators of severit y may include accelerated deterioration, need for hospitalization, need 
for ventilation, death. Observed rates of these indicators will be compared with what could be 
expected in a similar population to the study  participants b ased upon available information at 
the time of review (for Phase 1 and 2/3) and to compare cases in active vaccine and placebo 
recipients in Phase 2/3 (when Pfizer staff will be blinded).
5.1.4. Immunogenicity
The DMC may  review safety  and immunogenicity data pri or to expansion into Phase 2/3.
5.1.5. Efficacy
The DMC will assess efficacy  data for efficacy  and/or futility  during the Phase 2/3 portion of 
theC4591001 study as defined in the protocol .

6.4.Pfizer Internal Safety Review Committee
Pfizer has established several ad hoc Internal Safety  Review Committees (ISRCs), one for 
each BU/RU .  The ISRC for a BUis properly  firewalled from all study  teams conducting 
trials sponsored b y that unit .  The primary objective of an ISRC is to assess specific events 
that may  constitute a safety  concern in an unblinded manner .  The assessment could result in 
expedited reports to regul ators as required in FDA Final Rule (2010) and EU CT -3 (2011) .  
The assessment may  also lead to safet y-related protocol changes .  When necessary , an ISRC 
could look at the occurrence of the specific events across multiple studies in a development 
program . 
The activities of an ISRC are intended to be complementary  and supplemental to existing 
Pfizer safet y and risk management processes, including this committee .  There is a charter for 
the ISRC describing in detail the purpose, composition ,and operations of an I SRC.  The 
charter is available upon request
.  
There may  be several interactions between an I SRC and this committee , including :  
When the I SRC accepts a request from the signal management lead to review specific 
event s, the ISRC c hair will notify  the committee chairperson that a request has been 
made and that a review is to be conducted with a target date (t ypicall y within 30 calendar 
days of the request) .  
The committee liaison will supply  the ISRC chair a copy  of the current committee
charter, open meeting minutes and correspondences from the committee regarding issues 
for which the ISRCis currentl y being consulted.
ISRC c hair will communicate review findings with the committee chairperson .
If no safety  concern is identified, the ISRC will communicate this conclusion to the 
signal management lead with a cop y to th e committee .  
If a safet y concern is identified, the I SRC chair will communicate its findings to the 
committee chairperson by an appropriatel y secure means .  The written comm unication 
contains the I SRC’s rationale and final assessment .  (As the findings are ty pically  based 
on unblinded data, they  must not be shared with the study  team at this stage.)
The committee chairperson is requested to acknowledge receipt of the ISRC 
communication as soon as possible .  The committee considers the findings identified by  
the ISRC but is not obligated to act on them.
