There were 8 amendments to the protocol. A detailed description of each amendment, with 
rational e for change, is provided in the protocol v 9.0 under section 10.10. Some changes were 
also implemented to align data collection and reporting in this trial with the data collection and 
reporting in other trials with BNT162 vaccines candidates (to facilitate data merging). Some of 
the critical changes are listed here.  
• Allow the assessment of additional intermediate and low dose cohorts for BNT162b modRNA 
vaccine candid ates to support identification of a suitable dose for Phase  II/III evaluation.  
• Allow the assessment of BNT162b1 modRNA vaccine candidate in elderly subjects, given its 
favorable safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity profile in younger adults to date an d recently 
available non -human primate immunogenicity data for the BNT162b1 and other modRNA 
vaccine candidates.  
• Plan the assessment of BNT162b2 modRNA vaccine candidate in elderly subjects.  
• Allow revision of safety assessment & dose limiting toxicity crit eria.  
• Add additional for blood draws for explorative biomarker/immunogenicity research purposes.  
• BNT162b1 and BNT162b2 are both non -modified uridine RNAs, while BNT162a1 and 
BNT162c2 are both nucleoside -modified pseudomethyl -uridine containing. This modification is 
known to impact the extent of innate immune activation at a given dose level, and thus potentially 
the extent of reactogenicity. Therefore, tolerability data obtained with one of the vaccine variants 
of each of the se pairs may be potentially informative for the respective other one and should be 
taken in consideration by the SRC for recommendations of lower or interim doses.  
• Leftover blood may be used for additional biomarker analysis (blood sampling for research)  
• Align diary data collection with other BNT162 studies

This document is confidential  Page 6 of 73 2.2 Protocol Design  
Four different vaccines (BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2) will be tested.   
This trial has two parts. Part A is for dose ranging with dose escalation and de -escalat ion plus the 
evaluation of interim dose levels. It also includes dose ranging in older subjects. Part B is dedicated to 
recruit expansion cohorts with dose levels which are selected from data generated in Part A.   
The vaccines BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2 , and BNT162c2 will be administered using a P/B 
regimen. The vaccine BNT162c2 will also be administered using a SD regimen.  
The chosen trial design reflects discussion and advice from the Paul -Ehrlich Institute (PEI) obtained in 
scientific advice meetings  held in February, March, and June 2020.  
Part A  
Trial subjects with the first -in-human [FIH] immunization will be immunized using a sentinel 
dosing/subject staggering (EMA 2017 guidance “ Strategies to Identify and Mitigate Risks for First -in-
Human and Ea rly Clinical Trials with Investigational Medicinal Products ”). The FIH starting dose and 
the planned escalation/de -escalation doses are given in  Table 1  of protocol version 8. Dose escalation 
rules have been defined in this protocol to guide dose escalatio n.  
For all cohorts, if the investigator considers necessary, the planned observation periods before proceeding 
to dose further subjects in the same group may be prolonged by 24 h.   
Dose de -escalation in the case of possible vaccine -related toxicities wil l be guided by the Safety Review 
Committee (SRC), as required.  
In Cohort 1, the sentinel dosing/subject staggering process will be as follows:  
• One sentinel subject will be dosed on one day.   
• If the dosing in this subject was considered to be safe and well tolerated by the investigator after 
24±2 h observation on site, 5 further subjects will be dosed (with intervals of at least 1 h between 
subjects).   
• If the dosing in these 5 subjects was con sidered to be safe and well tolerated by the investigator 
based on 48 h data (24±2 h observation on site and phone interview for assessment 48±2 h after 
immunization; in addition to the available 48±2 h data from the sentinel subject):   
o The remaining 6 su bjects in the group will be dosed (with intervals of at least 30 min 
between subjects).  
o If approved by the SRC, the next planned escalation dose will be initiated. The data 
assessed by the SRC comprises 48 h data for 6 subjects including observation on si te, 
short summary of phone interview (including statement about diary reports), vital signs, 
investigator reported local and systemic reactions, TEAEs, solicited local & systemic 
reactions, blood/clinical laboratory data, and brief physical examination out come.  
o If approved by the SRC, the planned de -escalation dose in Cohort 3 will be initiated.  
For any subsequent dose -escalation cohorts (to doses higher than the maximum already tested for a 
vaccine candidate), the sentinel/subject staggering process will  be as follows:

This document is confidential  Page 7 of 73 • Two sentinel subjects will be dosed on one day (with intervals of at least 30 min between 
subjects).   
• If the dosing in these subjects was considered to be safe and well tolerated by the investigator 
after 24±2 h observation on site, 4 fur ther subjects will be dosed (with intervals of at least 30 min 
between subjects).   
• If the dosing in these 4 subjects was considered to be safe and well tolerated by the investigator 
based on 48 h data (24±2 h observation on site and phone interview for as sessment 48±2 h after 
immunization; in addition to the available 48 h data from the sentinel subjects):   
o The remaining 6 subjects in the group will be dosed (with intervals of at least 30 min 
between subjects).  
o If approved by the SRC, the next planned es calation dose (see Table 1) will be initiated. 
The data assessed by the SRC comprises 48 h data for 6 subjects including observation 
on site, short summary of phone interview (including statement about diary reports), vital 
signs, investigator reported loc al and systemic reactions, TEAEs, solicited local & 
systemic reactions, blood/clinical laboratory data, and brief physical examination 
outcome.  
The maximum allowed dose for each vaccine candidate is defined in the protocol .   
For the planned dose de -escal ation cohorts, 12 subjects may be dosed on one day (with intervals of at 
least 30 min between subjects). The doses in these cohorts in younger adults must be lower than doses 
than doses that have shown acceptable tolerability in younger adults (based on th e data from 12 subjects 
up until 48 h after the first dose). The same dose will not be administered twice, i.e., in two cohorts.  
For BNT162b1 and BNT162b2, administration of the planned 10 µg dose in older subjects (Cohort 8) 
may start once at least a 30-µg dose has shown acceptable tolerability in younger adults (based on the 
data from 12 subjects up until 48 h after the boost dose). The dose in Cohort 8 must also be confirmed by 
the SRC. In Cohort 8, 12 subjects will be dosed using a sentinel dosing/subj ect staggering (2 -4-6) process 
with intervals of at least 1 h between the first 6 subjects and then at least 30 min intervals for the 
remaining 6 subjects.   
For BNT162b1 and BNT162b2, administration of the planned dose escalation cohorts in older adults 
(Cohorts 9 and 10), 12 subjects will be dosed using a sentinel dosing/subject staggering (2 -4-6) process 
with intervals of at least 30 min between subjects. The doses planned in these cohorts will only be 
administered if the dose is confirmed by the SRC.  
For the unplanned dose de -escalation cohorts, i.e., where the SRC requests the use of a reduced dose for 
safety reasons, 12 subjects may be dosed on one day with intervals of at least 30 min between subjects (as 
for planned de -escalation cohorts).   
Note: B NT162b1 and BNT162b2 are modified uridine RNAs, while BNT162a1 and  
BNT162c2 are both nucleoside -modified pseudomethyl -uridine containing RNAs. RNA modification is 
known to impact the extent of innate immune activation at a given dose level, and thus poten tially the 
extent of reactogenicity. Therefore, tolerability data obtained with one of the vaccine variants of each of 
these pairs may be potentially informative for the respective other one and should be taken in 
consideration by the SRC for recommendatio ns of lower or interim doses.

This document is confidential  Page 8 of 73 In the case that an individual experiences dose limiting toxicities or that the frequency or pattern of AEs 
within a sub -cohort gives cause for concern, the investigator may request by phone an ad hoc review by 
the SRC, at any time, before further doses of  a given vaccine construct are administered.  
 
Part B  
Part B will only be started if approved using a substantial protocol amendment.  
Details of Part B will be defined using a protocol amendment after thorough evaluation of 
immunogenicity and safety data  from Part A for each vaccine candidate individually. Part B may be 
initiated for one or more vaccines while Part A is still ongoing, depending on the available data.   
Safety data to be evaluated includes the package used by the SRC to assess individual d ose levels and in 
addition any other safety observations that may be reported until the data cut off. Immunogenicity of all 
doses will be thoroughly assessed.   
The protocol amendment will include a summary of relevant safety and tolerability data collecte d in Part 
A. This protocol amendment will also include Part B specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, 
objectives/endpoints, a description of the planned statistical analyses, and descriptions of any added trial 
assessments and procedures.   
Part B will use a randomized, placebo -controlled design in the likely target population (e.g., higher risk 
populations such as immunocompromised populations). Part B may employ a surrogate marker as a 
measure of vaccine efficacy.

 See Appendix I  for complete Inclusion/Exclusion criteria. Criteria in TI have been shortened to a 
 length of 200 from protocol text. Criteria with the text ‘_1’ appended correspond to original 
 protocol criteria which were later amended in version 2.0, prior to the firs t collection of data in 
 the CRF.   Criteria with a letter appended ( e.g. ‘EX24A’) correspond to original protocol criteria 
 which were  later removed in version 2.0. If the criterion changed in meaning or was inserted from 
 one version of the protocol to th e next, additional observations with the corresponding 
 IETESTCD are created in TI. The variable TIVERS indicates the version of the protocol to which 
 the criterion belongs.

Clinical Events domain  consists of one recor d per reaction per observation period  per subject .  
Following the “flat model” described  in the Therapeutic Area Data Standards User Guide for 
Vaccines, daily diary records are recorded in the FACE and VS domains and summarized in a 
global event recor d (one each for the observation period following the prime/boost vaccinations 
administered), whether or not a reactogenicity event occurred during the assessment interval.   
While FACE contains records for reaction assessments provided by both the investiga tor and the 
study subject (variable FAEVAL), only the study subject assessments (from the subject’s diary) 
are used in the generation of the CE domain.  Likewise, only the temperature records in the VS 
domain which were obtained from the diary data (VSCAT = ‘REACTOGENICITY’) are used for 
generating CE.
