Document Version Date Summary and Rationale for Changes
Amendment 2 06 Aug 2021 Made the following updates in response to
commitments made to CBER concerning myocarditis
and pericarditis :
Insertion of a dditional row in risk assessment
table in risk assessment section .
Addition of myocarditis and pericarditis in
Adverse Events of Special Interest section .
Addition of a procedure to any visit that occurs
sooner than 1 month after any vaccination .
Addition of an unplann ed visit to capture data
pertaining to myocarditis and pericarditis .
Revised protocol title to reflect the changes in age
and dose evaluation.
Updated to allow anadditional 2250 Phase 2/3
selected -dose participants to enlarge the size of the
pediatric safety database.
Added Phase 1/2/3 evaluation of low er dose levels
for children and young adults with corresponding
objectives .
Revised the order of Visit 1 activities to clarify when
procedures should be conducted in relation t o study
intervention administration when the visit occurs
over 2 consecutive days .
Added updates and reformatt edactivities in the SoA.
Removed the requirement to conduct a potential
COVID -19 convalescent visit following each
potential COVID -19 illness visit . The collection of
the blood sample w as to support an exploratory
endpoint ,which will be addressed with external data
and thereby reduce burden to participants and
caregivers .
Added acountry -specific appendix that allow s
flexibility to conduct scheduled follow -up visits in
the participant’s home ,ie, site -arranged home health
visits, as permitted per local guidelines (applicable to
Poland only ).
Amendment 1 05Mar 2021 Added 2age groups to the study: participants ≥2 to
<5 years and ≥6 months to <2 years of age ,to also
study safety and immunogenicity in these age groups .
Updated e fficacy objectives to apply across ag es
in which immunobridging has been successful, if
22 cases are accrued.
Made u pdates to match Pfizer’s response to
04February 2021 CBER comments regarding this
study, ie :

Exclusion criteri on3 applied to all study
participants rather than just to Phase 1
participants.
References to “noninferiority ”updated to
“immunobridging. ”
Made a ddition sto the exclusion criteria for previous
or current diagnosis of MIS -C.
Addedto the exclusion criteria receipt of any passive
antibody therapy specific to COVID -19 within
90days prior to enrol lment.
Specified that placebo reci pients who decline
BNT162b2 will be follow ed for 24 months ( Visits X
and Y) .
Temporary delay of study intervention criteria
regarding nonstudy vaccination updated to be most
permissive, ie, to allow easier scheduling around
childhood routine vaccinations.
Added the following symptoms as prompts to
complete the COVID -19/MIS -C illness e- diary:
Inability to eat/poor feeding in participants
<5years of age;
Abdominal pain;
Hospitalization due to confirmed COVID -19
infection.
Follow ing updates made to the first confirmed
COVID -19 case definition to accommodate inclusion
of participants <5 years of age:
Definition of diarrhea added.
Inability to eat/poor feeding in participants
<5years of age added as an additional symptom.
Definition of SARS -CoV -2–related hospit alization
added.
RR and HR required to meet the SARS -CoV -2–
related severe case definition specified by participant
age. Table 4inserted.
Added that c ell-mediated immune responses will be
described follow ing isolation of PBMCs in a subset of
Phase 2/3 par ticipants ≥10years of age.
Corresponding visit (Visit 3) added approximately 7
days after Dose 2.

1.1.Synopsis
Short Title :A Phase 1/2/3 Study to Evaluate the Safety ,Tolerabilit y, and Immunogenicit y
of an RNA Vaccine Candidate Against COVID -19 in Healthy Children and Young Adults .
Rationale
A pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan, China, was first reported in
December 2019. InJanuary 2020, the pathogen causing this outbreak was identified as a
novel coronavirus 2019. On11 March 2020 , the WHO upgraded the status of the COVID-19
outbreak from epidemic to pandemic , which is now rapidly spreading worldwide. Children
have been affected b y both the primary COVID -19 disease and the less common secondary
inflammatory complications, including MIS-C.
There are currently no licensed vaccines to prevent infection with SARS -CoV -2or
COVID -19. Given the rapid transmission of COVID -19 and incidence of disease in the
United States and elsewhere, the rapid development of an effective vaccine is of utm ost
importance .
A Phase 1/2/3 study (C4591001 )is currentl y being conducted in healthy individual s 12years
of age and older to investigate the safety , tolerability , immunogenicity ,and efficacy of the
prophy lactic BNT162 vaccine candidates against COVID-19. The vaccine candidate
selected for evaluation in the C4591001 P hase 2/3 study is BNT162b2 at a 30 -µg dose level .
The v accine is administered as 2 doses approximately 21 day s apart. On 18 November 2020,
the primary efficacy analy sis results were announced, which demonstrate dBNT162b2 to be
95% effective against COVID -19 beginning 28 day s after the first dose; 170 confirmed cases
of COVID -19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the
vaccine group .Safet y data from approximately 38,000 participants randomized 1:1 with a
median of 2 months of follow -up after the second dose of vaccine showed a favorable safety
profile at a dose of 30 μg in participants 16 y ears of age and older. On 1 1December 2020,
the US FDA issued an EUA for use in individuals 16 y ears of age and older. Other countries
have also granted EUA (eg, Canada, Mexico, Bahrain), and Pfizer and BioNTech are
anticipating further regulatory decisions in other countries. On 1 0 May 2021, the US FDA
issued an EUA for use in individual s12 to 15 y ears of age. Other countries have also
granted EUA or other authorization/approval for this age group (eg, EMA, UK, Switzerland,
and t he Philippines).

Page 13This Phase 1/2/3 study (C4591007) will initially evaluate up to 3dose levels of BNT162b2 in
up to 3 age groups (participants ≥5 to <12 y ears, ≥2 to <5 y ears, and ≥ 6months to <2 years
of age) for safet y, tolerability , immunogenicit y, and efficacy (depending on successful
immunobridging an d accrual of asufficient number of cases). Phase 1 include sthe dose -
finding portion. I nitiation of dose finding in participants ≥5 to <12 y ears of age is based on
acceptable blinded safet y data demonstrated in 2260 12 -through 15-year-oldsat the 30-µ g
dose level in the C4591001 study .ThePhase 2/3 BNT162b 2dose level to be used in each
age group in this study will be selected based on the Phase 1 safety , tolerability ,and
immunogenicit y data from the same age group. Phase 2/3 (referred to as the selected -dose
portion of the study )includes animmunobridging anal ysisof immune responses in
participants within each age group (participants ≥5 to <12 years, ≥2 to <5 y ears, and ≥ 6
months to <2 years of age) to those in participants 16 to 25years of age inthe Phase 3
C4591001 efficacy study .Safety , tolerability ,and e fficacy (depending on successful
immunobridging and accrual of a sufficient number of cases) will also be evaluated in Phase
2/3 of this study .
Theauthorized dose of BNT162b 2in adolescents and y oung adults 12 years of age and older
is 30 µg,whereas the following doses were selected in the ongoing C4591007 Phase 2/3
portion: 10 µgin participants 5 to <12 years of age and 3 µg in participants 6 months to
<5 yearsof age . With the robust immune responses elicited in adolescents to minimize
reactogenicity and risk of other AEs and to potentially unify the dose level sacross children
and y oung adults, additional lower dose levels of BNT162b2 (3 µg, 10 µg)will be evaluated
to determine whether similar immune responses are elicited .For this lower -dose evaluation
portion, a new cohort of Phase 1 participants will be enrolled in3age groups: >5 to <12,
12 to <16, and 16 to <30years of age to assess safety , tolerability , and immunogenicity . The
Phase 2/3 BNT162b2 dose level will be selected based on the Phase 1 assessments with an
immunobridging analysis of immune responses in participants within each age group to
participants in the 30-µgPhase 3 C4 591001 efficacy study .
Overall Design
This is a Phase 1/2/3 study inhealthy children and y oung adults.
Dependent upon safet y and/or immunogenicit y data generated during the course of this
study , and the resulting assessment of benefit -risk, the safet y, tolerability , and
immunogenicit y of BNT162b2 in participants <6 months of age may subsequently be
evaluate d. Participants will range from ≥6 months to <30 y ears of age ,with different dose
levels assessed in each group .

Phase 1
Dose -finding: Is the open -label dose -finding portion of the study that will evaluate safet y,
tolerability, and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 administered on a 2 -dose (separated b y
approximately 21 day s) schedule in up to 3 age groups (participants ≥5 to <12 y ears, ≥2 to
<5 years, and ≥6 months to <2 y ears of age).
Dose finding is being initiated in this study in participants ≥5 to <12 y ears of age based on
the acceptable blinded safety assessment of the 30- µg dose in 12 -to 15 -year-olds in the
C4591001 study .
The purpose of P hase 1 is to identify preferred dose level(s) of BNT162b2 from up to
3different dose levels in each age group.
Dependent upon safet y and/or immunogenicit y data generated during the course of this
study , it is possible that dose levels may not be started, may be terminated early, and/or may
be added with dose levels below the lowest stated dose.
Participants will have blood drawn prior to both Dose 1and Dose 2and 7 day s after Dose 2
to assess immunogenicity to determine the selected BNT162b 2dose level for Phase 2/3.

The purpose of the Phase 1 lower -dose evaluation is to evaluate safety and immunogenicit y
of BNT162b2 from up to 2different dose levels in each age group.
Participants will have blood drawn prior to both Dose 1 and Dose 2 and 7 day s after Dose 2
to assess immunogenicity to determine the selected BNT162b2 dose level for the Phase 2/3
lower -dose evaluation portion of the study .
Phase 2 /3
Selected -dose:Is the portion of the study that will evaluate the safet y, tolerability , and
immunogenicit yin each age group at theselected dose level from the Phase 1 dose-finding
portion of the study . Efficacy will be evaluated within or acros sage groups in which
immunobridging is successful, depending on accrual of a sufficient number of cases in those
age groups .
Participants will have blood drawn at baseline prior to Dose 1and 6 months after Dose 2.
Immunobridging to participants 16 to 25 y ears of age in the C4591001 study will be based on
immunogenicit y data collected at baseline and 1 month after Dose 2.The persistence of the
immune response will be based on immunogenicity data collected in participants at baseline
and at 1, 6, 12 ( original BNT162b2 group onl y),and24months after Dose 2 (original
BNT162b2 group onl y).In addition, efficacy against confirmed COVID -19 and against
asymptomatic infection will also be assessed.
At designated US sites, an additional optional whole blood sample of approximately 10mL
will be obtained prior to Dose 1and at 7 day s and 6 months after Dose 2 from up to
approximately 60 participants ≥10yearsof age. Thesesample swill be used on an
exploratory basis to investigate the postvaccination c ell-mediated immune response at these
time points.
At the 6- month follow -up visit ,all participants will be unblinded. P articipants who originall y
received placebo will be offered the opportunit y to receive BNT162b2 as part of the stud y.
Participants ≥12 years of age who originall y received placebo and become eligible for receipt
of BNT162b2 according to recommendations (detailed separatel y and available in the
electronic stud y reference portal) will have the opportunity to receive BNT16 2b2.
Lower -doseevaluation : Is the portion of the study that will evaluate the safety , tolerability ,
and immunogenicit yin each age group at the selected dose level from the Phase 1 lower -dose
evaluation .

Intervention Groups and Duration
Phase 1
Dose -finding : Dosing will begin at the low-dose level in participants ≥5 to <12 y ears of age .
Controlled enrollment will be required for the first dose level studied in each age group.
Only a limited number of participants (~4) are dosed before allowing dosing in the remaining
participants (~12) in the same age and dose -level group. The IRC will review safety data
(e-diary and AE) acquired up to 7 day s after Dose 1 for the low-dose level group ; upon
confirmation of an acceptable safet y assessment by the IRC:
Dosing may commence at the mid -dose level in the same age group, and
Dosing may commenc e at the low -dose level in participants ≥2 to <5 y ears of age.
The same process will be followed when moving updose level s in each age group, and when
progressing between age groups at the low- dose level as shown in Section 1.2. Dosing may
commence at the low -dose level in participants ≥ 6 months to <2 y ears of age after IRC
review of safet y data (e -diary and AE) acquired up to 7 day s after Dose 1 at the low -dose
level from participants ≥2 to <5 y ears of age.
In each age group, i f the low -dose level is considered notacceptable based on safet y
assessment after Dose 1 , the mid-dose level or high -dose level will not commence .In this
case, an optional lower dose level may commence. Dependent on the results obtained, dose
level (s)may be omitted. In each age group, i fthe mid -dose level is considered not
acceptable based on safety assessment after Dose 1, the high-dose level will not commence.
Based on safet y assessments, t he second dose may be given at a lower dose level .

C4591001 study will be assessed separatel y for each age group and based on the GMR of
SARS -CoV -2 neutralizing titers using a 1.5 -fold margin and the difference in percentages of
participants with seroresponse using a 10% margin .

Page 20Within each age group ,immunobridging based on GMR and seroresponse difference will be
assessed sequentially in the order specified .Immunobridging success based on GMR will be
declared if the lower limit of the 95% CI for the GMR (each age group to the comparator age
group from the C4591001 study )is >0.67 and the point estimate of the GMR is ≥0.8.
Immunobridging success based on the seroresponse difference will be declared if the lower
limit of the 95% CI for the difference in percentages of participants with seroresponse is
>-10%. Since seroresponse is not directly linked to an antibody level associated with
protection against COVID- 19, if the seroresponse endpoint nearl y misses the noninferiorit y
criteria, the totalit y of evidence willbe evaluated, including RCDCs and the proportion of
participants with neutralizing titer s ≥LLOQ .
A sample size of 225evaluable participants in each age group evaluated in this study and the
corresponding comparator group from the C4591001 study will provide a power of 90. 4%
and 92.6% to declare immunobridging success based on GMR and seroresponse difference,
respectivel y. The immunogenicity data from the 300 active vaccine recipients in
approximately 450participant s randomized in each age group in the Phase 2 /3selected- dose
portion of the study , and approximately 300 participants enrolled in each age group in the
Phase 2/3 lower -dose evaluation portion of the study , will be used for the immunobridging
assessment.
The other immunogenicity objectives will be evaluated descriptively by GMT, GMFR ,and
the associated 95% CIs for SARS -CoV -2 neutralizing titers at the various time points.
The secondary efficacy objectives are to evaluate VE, defined as 100 ×(1–IRR),against the
confirmed COVID -19 illness , in each of the 2 age groups ( ≥5 to <12 years ,≥6 months to
<2yearsand ≥2to <5yearscombined )or across allage group swhere immunobridging
success is declared in the Phase 2/3 selected- dose portion of the study (if the required number
ofcases are not accrued in either ofthe 2 individual age groups ).IRR is calculated as the
ratio of the first confirmed COVID -19 illness rate in the vaccine group to the corresponding
illness rate in the placebo group. With the assumption of a true VE of 75%, 22 cases will
provide 70% power to conclude true VE >20%. Hypothesis testing for the specific age
group s (≥5 to <12 years, ≥6 months to <2 years and ≥2 to <5 years combined ) will be
conducted onl y ifat least 22 cases are accrued in those age group s. However, i f 22 cases are
not accrued in either of the 2 age groups ( ≥5 to <12 y ears, ≥6 months to <2 years and ≥2 to
<5years combined) where immunobridging success is declared, but 22 cases are accrued
across all the age groups where immunobridging success is dec lared, then hypothesis testing
will be conducted across the age groups with imm unobridging success.
VEagainst as ymptomatic infection will be evaluated descriptively. VE estimate and 2 -sided
95% CI for VE will be provided using the Clopper -Pearson method.
The prim ary safet y objective will be evaluated b y descriptive summary statistics for local
reactions, s ystemic events ,andAEs/SAEs for each vaccine and age group. A 3- tier approach
will be used to summarize AEs in the Phase 2/3 selected- dose portion of the study .

The SoA table provides an overview of the protocol visits and procedures. Refer to the Study Assessments a nd Procedures section of
the protocol for detailed information on each procedure and assessment required for compliance with the protocol.
The investigator may sche dule visits (unplanned visits) in addition to those listed i n the SoA table , in order to conduct evaluations or
assessments required to protect the well -being of the participant .
1.3.1. Phase 1 Dose -Finding Portion
An unplanned potential COVID-19 /MIS-Cillness visit isrequired at an y time for the duration of the study that COVID -19/MIS-C
symptoms are reported . During the 7 day s following each dose, potential COVID -19/MIS-C symptoms that overlap with specific
systemic events (ie, fever, chills, new or increased muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting) should not trigger a potential COVID -19/MIS-C
illness visit unless, in the investigator’s opinion ,the clinic al picture is more indicative of a possible COVID-19 /MIS-C illness rather
than vaccine reactogenicity .For details, see Section 8.13.

Page 392.INTRODUCTION
The BNT162b2 RNA -based COVID -19 vaccine is being investigated for prevention of
COVID -19 in healthy children.
2.1.Study Rationale
The purpose of the dose-finding/selected -dose study is to rapidly describe the safet y,
tolerability ,immunogenicity , and efficacy (depending on accrual of sufficient cases) of the
BNT162b2 RNA -based COVID -19 vaccine candidate against COVID- 19 in healthy children .
There are currently no licensed vaccines to prevent infection with SARS -CoV -2or
development of COVID -19. Given the glob al crisis of COVID- 19 and fast expansion of the
disease in the United States and elsewhere, the rapid development of an effective vaccine is
of utmost importance.
With the robust immune responses elicited in adolescents with BNT162b2, t he purpose of the
lower -dose evaluation is to determine whether additional lower dose levels of BNT162b2
(3µg, 10 µg) will not only to minimize reactogenicity and risk of other AEs but as well to
potentially unify the dose levels across children and y oung adults.
2.2.Background
In December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak of unknown cause occurred in Wuhan, China.
InJanuary 2020, it became clear that a novel coronavirus (2019 -nCoV) was the underl ying
cause. Later in January , the genetic sequence of the 2019 -nCoV became av ailable to the
WHO and public (MN908947.3), and the virus was categorized in the Betacoronavirus
subfamily . By sequence anal ysis, the phy logenetic tree revealed a closer relationship to
SARS virus isolates than to another coronavirus infecting humans, the MERS virus.1,2
SARS -CoV -2 infections and the resulting disease, COVID -19, have spread globall y,
affecting a growing number of infections in countries worldwide .Children have been
affected b y both the primary COVID -19 disease and the less common secondar y
inflammatory complications, including MIS-C.3,4
On 11 March 2020, the WHO characterized the COVID -19 outbreak as a pandemic.5
TheWHO Weekly Epidemiology Update Report dated 27September 2020 noted more than
32.7 million COVID -19 cases and 991,000 deaths globall y, including 16,233,110 confirmed
cases with 546,864 deaths in the Americas.6 COVID -19 is generally milder in children than
adults, possibly because common risk factors for severe COVID -19 in adults are generall y
less prevalent in pediatric age groups. Children present with fever and dry cough over half
the time and symptoms can include GIsymptoms, including diarrhea and vomiting, and in
some cases canbe the only presenting features. Pulmonary involvement in sy mptomatic
children is genera lly mild.7,8,9Nevertheless, severe cases, including those requiring intensive
care support, have been reported.3Of US children diagnosed with COVID -19,5.7% to 20%
were hospitalized , including 0.58% to 2.0% admitted to an I CU.10

Page 40MIS-C, an emerging condition that appears to be temporally related to recen t exposure to
SARS -CoV -2, has been described and frequentl y requires ICU admission, and may have a
fatal outcome.4,11MIS-C is a febrile hy perinflammatory condition with frequent evidence of
cardiac damage and dermatologic, mucocutaneous, and GI features .11The sy ndrome appears
to have some overlap with Kawasaki disease shock sy ndrome.12,13Compared with Kawasaki
disease, patients with MIS- C are older, have more cardiac injury , and are more likely to be
black, Hispani c, or of South Asian descent.14As of 29June 2020, approximately 1000 cases
have been reported.14As of 29 July 2020, a total of 570 cases were reported in the US to the
CDC. Of these, 86.0% involved 4 or more organ sy stems, 63.9% of patients required ICU
admission, and severe complicati ons included cardiac d ysfunction (40.6%), shock (35.4%),
myocarditis (22.8%), coronary artery dilation or aneury sm (18.6%), and acute kidney injury
(18.4%).15Death rates of 2% to 4% have been reported.14MIS-C has been reported in many
countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America ,16including the
US,4,11Italy,17and France.18The United States currently has the most reported cases
globall y,with the number of confirmed cases continu ingto rise globall y. There are currently
no licensed vaccine s or effective antiviral drugs to prevent SARS -CoV -2 infections or the
disease it causes, COVID -19.19
A proph ylactic, RNA -based SARS -CoV -2 vaccine provides one of the most flexible and
fastest approaches available to immunize against the emerging virus.20,21
The development of an RNA -based vaccine encoding a viral antigen, which is then expressed
by the vaccine recipient as a protein capable of eliciting protective immune responses,
provides significant advantages over more traditional vaccine approaches. Unl ike live
attenuated vaccines, RNA vaccines do not carry the risks associated with infection and may
be given to people who cannot be administered live virus (eg, pregnant women and
immunocompromised persons). RNA -based vaccines are manufactured via a cell- free in
vitro transcription process, which allows an eas y and rapid production and the prospect of
producing high numbers of vaccination doses within a shorter time period than achieved with
traditional vaccine approaches. This capability is pivotal to e nable the most effective
response in outbreak scenarios.20,21
A Phase 1/2/ 3 study (C4591001 )is being conducted in healthy individuals 1 2years of age
and older to investigate the safet y, tolerability , immunogenicit y,and efficacy of the
prophy lactic BNT162 vaccine candidates against COVID -19. The vaccine candidate
selected for evaluation in the C4591001 P hase 2/3 study is BNT162b2 at a dose level of
30µg and as 2 doses given approximately 21 days apart. On 18 November 2020, the primary
efficacy anal ysis results were announced, which demonstrate d BNT162b2 to be 95%
effective against COVID -19 beginning 7 day s after the second dose; 170 confirmed cases of
COVID -19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine
group .Safet y data from approximately 38,000 participants randomiz ed 1:1 with a median of
2 months of follow -up after the second dose of vaccine showed a favorable safet y profile at a
dose of 30 μg in participants 16 y ears of age and older .22On 11 December 2020, the US
FDA issued an EUA for use in individuals 16 y ears o f age and older. Other countries have
also granted EUA (eg, Canada, Mexico, Bahrain), and Pfizer and BioNTech are anticipating

EUA for use in individuals 12 to 15 y ears of age. Other countries have also granted EUA or
other authorization/approval for this age group (eg, EMA, UK, Switzerland, andthe
Philippines).
This Phase 1/2/3 study (C4591007) will initially evaluate up to 3 different dose levels of
BNT162b2 in up to 3 age groups ( participants ≥5 to <12 years, ≥2 to <5 y ears, and
≥6months to <2 years of age). Safet y, tolerability, immunogenicit y,and efficacy (depending
on successful immunobridging and accrual of a sufficient number of cases) will be evaluated .
Phase 1 includes the dose -finding portion . Initiation of dose finding in participants ≥5 to
<12years of age will be based on the acceptable blinded safet y data demonstrated in 2260
12-through 15-year-oldsat the 30-µ g dose level in the C4591001 study .24The Phase 2/3
BNT162b 2dose level to be used in each age group in this study will be selected based on the
Phase 1 safet y, tolerability, and immunogenicit y data from the same age group. Phase 2/3
(referred to as the selected -dose portion of the study )includes an immunobridging analy sisof
immune responses in participants ≥6 months to <12 years of age to th ose in participants 16to
25 years of age in the Phase 3 C45 91001 efficacy study . Safety,tolerability ,and efficacy
(depending on successful immunobridging and accrual of a sufficient number of cases) will
also be evaluated in Phase 2/3 of this study .
The authorized dose of BNT162b2 in adolescents and y oung adults 12 y ears and older is
30µg,whereas in the Phase 2/3 portion of the ongoing C459 1007 study the following doses
were selected: 10 µgin participants 5 to <12 years of age and 3 µg in participants 6 months
to <5 y earsof age . With the robust immune responses elicited in adolescents to minimize
reactogenicity and the risk of other AEs and to potentially unify the dose levels across
children and young adults, additional lower dose levels of BNT162b2 (3 µg, 10 µg) will be
evaluated to determine whether similar immune responses are elicited. For this lower -dose
evaluation portion, a new cohort of Phase 1 participants will be enrolled in 3age groups:
>5 to <12, 12 to <16, 16 to <30 years of age to assess safet y, tolerability , and
immunogenicit y. The Phase 2/3 BNT162b2 dose level will be selected based on t he Phase 1
assessments with an immunobridging analy sis of immune responses in participants within
each age group to participants in the 30- µgPhase 3 C4591001 efficacy study .
2.2.1. Clinical Overview
The BNT162 vaccine candidates use an RNA to deliver genetic in formation to cells, where it
is used to express proteins for the therapeutic effect. This vaccine is for the prevention of
COVID -19. Prior to this study , clinical data from the BNT162b2 vaccine established a
favorable safety profile ,with mild, localized , and transient effects. The C4591001 study25is
currentl y in Phase 3, which includes >40,000 individuals in the US and other countries ,of
whom >21,000 participants have now been administered BNT162b2 at the 30 -µg dose level
ona 2-dose schedule .26Vaccine -related enhanced disease for vaccines against related
coronaviruses (SARS -CoV -1 and MERS) has been reported onl y in animal models.27,28To

data are presented in the BNT162 IB.
2.3.Benefit/Risk Assessment
There is an ongoing global pandemic of COVID -19 with no approved or licensed preventive
options available. However, based on the data available from the C4591001 study , multiple
temporary or emergency use authorizations have been granted. The available safet y and
immunogenicit y data from the ongoing Pfizer/BioNTech clinical trial combined with
available nonclinical data with BNT162 vaccines, and data from nonclinical studies and
clinical trials with the same or related RNA components, or antigens, support a favorable
benefit/risk profile and support c ontinued clinical development of BNT162b2.
In the C4591001 stud y, BNT162b2 has been shown to elicit increased local and systemic
adverse reactions as compared to those in the placebo arm, usuall y lasting a few days. The
most common solicited adverse reac tions were injection site reactions (84.1%), fatigue
(62.9%), headache (55.1%), muscle pain (38.3%), chills (31.9%), joint pain (23.6%), and
fever (14.2%). Adverse reactions characterized as reactogenicity were generally mild to
moderate. The number of participants reporting hypersensitivity -related AE s was
numericall y higher in the active vaccine group compared with the placebo group
(137 [0.63%] vs 111 [0.51%]). Severe adverse reactions occurred in 0.0% to 4.6% of
participants, were more frequent after Dose 2 than after Dose 1, and were generall y less
frequent in older adults (>55 years of age) (<2.8%) as compared to y ounger participants
(≤4.6%). Among reported unsolicited A Es, lymphadenopathy occurred much more
frequentl y in the active vaccine group than the placebo group and is plausibly related to
vaccination. SAEs, while uncommon (<1.0%), represented medical events that occur in the
general population at similar frequency as observed in the study .22
No specific safet y concerns were identified in subgroup anal yses by age, race, ethnicit y,
medical comorbidities, or prior SARS -CoV -2 infection. The risks are based on the observed
safet y profile to date, which sho ws mostly mild reactogenicit y, low incidence of severe or
serious events, and no clinically concerning safet y observations. The preponderance of
severe cases of COVID -19 in the placebo group relative to the BNT162b2 group (9 of 10)
suggests no evidence of VAED. Continued clinical investigation is justified given the:
Urgent need for the development of a more stable prophy lactic vaccine for COVID -19;
Threat posed b y the increasing number of globall y distributed outbreaks of SARS -CoV -2
infection ;
Potential of the BioNTech platform of RNA -based vaccines to rapidly deliver high
numbers of vaccine doses in a single production campaign.
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonabl y
expected AEs of BNT162b2 may be found in the IB, which is the SRSD for this study .

Study Intervention(s) [ BNT162b2 RNA- Based COVID-19 Vaccine]
Local and systemic reactions to the vaccine may
occur (injection site redness, injection site swelling,
and injection site pain, fever, fatigue, headache,
chills, muscle pain, and joint pain) following
vaccination.These are common adverse reactions seen with
other vaccines as well as the COVID -19 vaccine.
The most comm on events reported in the C4591001
study were mild to moderate pain at the injection
site, fatigue ,and headache.The study employs the use of a react ogenicity
e-diary to monitor local reactions and systemic
events in real time.
All study participants will be observed for at
least 30 minutes after vaccination.
The s afety profile of a novel vaccine is not yet fully
characterized.
Adverse reactions (risk s) identified from the
postauthorization safety data include: Anaphylaxis,
other hypersensitivity reactions (eg ,rash, pruritus,
urticaria, angioedema), and pain in extremity
(injected arm) .Data available from the C4591001 study showed
low incidence of severe or serious events, and no
clinically concerning safety observations across the
safety population and within demographic
subgroups based on age, sex, race/ethnicity,
country, and baseline SARS -CoV -2 status.
Postauthorization safety data surveillance has
confirmed the safety profile observed in the
C4591001 study and has resulted in identification of
some additional adverse reactions (risks) as noted in
this table.AE and SAE reports will be collected from the
signing of the ICD to 1 month after the second
dose of vaccine.
DMC willreview all safety data throughout the
study .
All participants will be observed for at least 30
minutes after vaccination.
Unknown A Es with a novel vaccine in children <12
years of age .Data available from the C4591001 study showed
low incidence of severe or serious events, and no
clinically concerning safety observations. The
vaccine appears to be safe and w ell-tolerated across
the safety population and within demographic
subgroups based on age, sex, race/ethnicity,
country, and baseline SARS -CoV -2 status.The current Phase 3 C4591001 study include s

Myocarditis and pericarditis: Very rare cases of
myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported
following vaccination with mRNA COVID -19
vaccines. Typically, the cases have occurred more
often in younger men and after the second dose of
the vaccine and w ithin 14 days after vaccination.
These are generally mild cases and individuals tend
to recover within a short time following standard
treatment and rest. Healthcare professionals should
be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis

different dose levels in each age group.
Dependent upon safet y and/or immunogenicit y data generated during the course of this
study , it is possible that dose levels may not be started, may be terminated early , and/or may
beadded with dose le vels below the lowest stated dose.
Participants will have blood drawn prior to both Dose 1 and Dose 2 and 7 day s after Dose 2
to assess for immunogenicity to determine the final BNT162b2 dose level for the Phase 2/3.
Lower -doseevaluation :Is the open- labellower -dose evaluation portion of the study that
willevaluate safet y, tolerability , and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 on a 2-dose (separated
by approximately 21 days) schedule in up to 3 age groups ( participants ≥5 to <12 y ears, 12 to
<16 y ears, and 16 to <30years of age) .
The purpose of the Phase 1 lower -dose evaluation is to evaluate safety and immunogenicit y
of BNT162b2 from up to 2different dose levels in each age group.
Participants will have blood drawn prior to both Dose 1 and Dose 2 and 7 day s after Dose 2
to assess immunogenicity to determine the selected BNT162b2 dose level for the Phase 2/3
lower -dose evaluation portion of the study .
4.1.2. Phase 2/3
Selected -dose: Is the portion of the study that will evaluate safet y, tolerability , and
immunogenicit y in each age group at the selected dose level from the Phase 1 dose-finding
portion of the study . Efficacy will be evaluated within or across age groups in which
immunobridging is successful, depending on accrual of a sufficient number of cases in those
age groups.
Participants will have blood drawn at baseline prior to Dose 1 and 6 months after Dose 2.
Immunobridging to participants 1 6to 25 years of age in the C4591001 study will be based on
immunogenicity data collected at baseline and 1 month after Dos e 2. The persistence of the
immune response will be based on immunogenicity data collected in participants at baseline
and at 1, 6, 12 (original BNT162b2 group onl y),and24 month safter Dose 2 (original
BNT162b2 group onl y). In addition, efficacy agains t confirmed COVID -19 and against
asymptomatic infection will also be assessed.
At designated US sites, an additional optional whole blood sample of approximately 10 mL
will be obtained prior to Dose 1 and at 7 day s and 6 months after Dose 2 from up to
approximately 60 participants ≥ 10 years of age. These samples will be used on an
exploratory basis to investigate the postvaccination cell -mediated immune response at these
time points.
At a 6-month follow -up visit, all participants will be unblinded. Participants who originall y
received placebo will be offered the opportunit y to receive BNT162b2 as pa rt of the stud y.

Selected -dose:Is the portion of the study that will evaluate the safet y, tolerability ,and
immunogenicit yof the selected dose level in each age group at the selected dose level from
Phase 1 dose finding ,with a total of approximately 6750 participants as an additional 2250
participants will be included to enlarge the size of the pediatric safet y database . Participants
will be randomized in a 2:1ratio to receive active vaccine or placebo (Table 4).
Approximately 450 participants (300 in the active vaccine group and 150 i n the placebo
group ) randomized in each age group in this phase will contribute to the immunobridging
analysisat 1month after Dose 2and will contribute to the overall anal ysis of the persistence
of immune response at 6 months after Dose 2. These participants will be enrolled from both
US and EU sites to ensure this subset is representative of the whole stud y.
For the persistence time points of 12 and 24 months after Dose 2, a pproximately 70
participants from each age group in the original BNT162b2 group will have an
immunogenicit y blood draw in order to contribute to the anal ysis. All approximately 6750
participants will contribute to the VEanalysis for conditional VEand as ymptomatic
infection . Efficacy will be evaluated within or across age groups in which immunobridging
is successful, depending on accrual of a sufficient number of cases in those age groups.

Page 584.1.4. Intervention Groups and Duration
Phase 1 open-l abel dose-finding : Dosing will begin at the low -dose level in participants
≥5 to <12 y ears of age . Controlled enrollment will be required for the first dose level studied
in each age group. Onl y a limited number of participants (~4) are dosed before allowing
dosing in the remaining participants (~12) in the same age and dose -level group. The IRC
will r eview safety data (e -diary and AE) acquired up to 7 day s after Dose 1 for the low- dose
level group ; upon confirmation of an acceptable safet y assessment by the IRC:
Dosing may commence at the mid -dose level in the same age group, and
Dosing may commence at the low -dose level in participants ≥2 to <5 y ears of age.
The same process will be followed when moving up dose level s in each age group, and when
progressing between age groups at the low -dose level as shown in Section 1.2. Dosing may
commence at the low -dose level in participants ≥ 6 months to <2 y ears of age after IRC
review of safet y data (e -diary and AE) acquired up to 7 day s after Dose 1 at the low -dose
level from participants ≥2 to <5 y ears of age.
In each age group, i f the low -dose level is considered notacceptable based on safet y
assessment after Dose 1, themid-dose level or high- dose level will not commence . In this
case, an optional lower dose level may commence. Dependent on the results obtained, dose
level (s)may be omitted. In each age group, i f the mid -dose level is considered not
acceptable based on safety assessment after Dose 1, the high-dose level will not comm ence.
Based on safet y assessment, the second dose may be given at a lower dose level.
Phase 2/3 selected -dose: Progression of each age group into Phase 2/3 will occur
independentl y; it is therefore possible that each age group may not start Phase 2/3
concurrently and the dose level selected for Phase 2/3 may differ in each age group. For each
age group t o proceed t o Phase 2/3, safet y, tolerability , and immunogenicity data from 7 day s
after Dose 2 for the selected vaccine dose level in the age group from Phase 1 will be
confirmed to be acceptable .
Duration: Participants are expected to participate for up to a maxim um of approximately
26months.
Phase 1 lower -dose evaluation : As safet y has been assessed at higher dose levels in all 3
age groups, each dose and age level will occur concurrentl y:
≥5 to <12 Years : 3µg
12 to <16 Years, 16 to <30 Years: 3µgand 10µg
TheIRC will review safety data (e -diary and AE s) acquired up to 7 day s after Dose 2.

4.2.Scientific Rationale for Study Design
Additional surveillance for COVID -19/MIS-C in Phase 1 dose -finding and Phase 2/3
selected- dose participants will be conducted as part of the study , given the potential risk of
disease enhancement . If a participant experiences sy mptoms, as detailed in Section 8.13, a
COVID -19/MIS-C illness visit will occur and an anterior nasal swab) will be taken for
antigen assessment as well as recording of COVID -19/MIS-C– related clinical and laboratory
information (including local diagnosis). For participants in the lower -dose evaluation,
COVID -19/MIS- C will be reported as AESIs.
Human reproductive safety data are not available for BNT162b2 RNA -based COVID -19
vaccine, but there is no suspicion of human teratogenici ty based on the intended mechanism
of action of the compound. Therefore, the use of a highl y effective method of contraception
is required (see Appendix 4 ) for WOCBP.
4.3.Justification for Dose
Dose -finding andselected -doseevaluation :Based on acceptable blinded safet y data in
2260 12 -through 1 5-year-olds at the 30- µg dose level in the C4591001 study , dose-finding is
considered in this study using the same vaccine candidate .24 Therefore, this study will start
with a 10-µgdose level for Phase 1 participants ≥5 to <12 y ears of age , which was well
tolerated in adults 18 to 55years of age in C4591001, before moving to another dose level in
this age group or initiating the younger age groups (20 µg, 30 µgwith an option of 3 µg).
Lower -dose e valuation (participants 5 to <12, 12 to <16, 16 to <30 years of age ):The
authorized dose of BNT162b2 in adolesc ents and y oung adults 12 y earsof age and older is
30µg,whereas in the ongoing C4591007 Phase 2/3 portion of the study the following doses
were selected: 10 µgin participants 5 to <12 years of age and 3 µg in participants 6 months
to <5 y earsof age . With the robust immune responses elicited in adolescents to minimize
reactogenicity and risk of other AEs and to potentially unify thedose levels across children
and y oung adults, additional lower dose levels of BNT162b2 (3 µg, 10 µg) will be evaluated
todetermine whether similar immune responses are elicited. For this lower -dose evaluation
portion, a new cohort of Phase 1 participants will be enrolled in 3age groups: >5 to <12,
12 to <16, 16 to <30 years of age to assess safet y, tolerability , and immu nogenicity . The
Phase 2/3 BNT162b2 dose level will be selected based on the Phase 1 assessments with an
immunobridging anal ysis of immune responses in participants within each age group to
participants in the 30 -µgPhase 3 C4591001 efficacy study .

The study staff receiving, storing, dispensing, preparing, and administering the study
interventions will be unblinded. All other study and site personnel, including the
investigator, investigator staff, and participants, wil l be blinded to study intervention
assignments. In particular, the individuals who evaluate participant safet y will be blinded.
Because BNT162b2 and placebo are different in phy sical appearance, the study intervention
syringes will be administered in a m anner that prevents the study participants from
identify ing the study intervention ty pe based on its appearance.
The responsibility of the unblinded dispenser and administrator must be assigned to an
individual or individuals who will not participate in th e evaluation of an y study participants.
Contact between the unblinded dispenser and study participants and unblinded administrator
and study participants should be kept to a minimum. The remaining site personnel must not
know study intervention assignmen ts.
6.3.3. Blinding of the Sponsor
At the 6- month (Visit 5/Phase 2/3) selected -dose follow -up visit, all participants will be
unblinded. Participants who originally received placebo will be offered the opportunity to
receive BNT162b2 as part of the study . Participants who become eligible for receipt of
BNT162b2 or another COVID -19 vaccine according to local or national recommendations
prior to Visit 5 (detailed separately , and available in the electronic study reference portal)
will h ave the opportunity to receive the EUA -approved dose level of BNT162b2.
For the participants in Phase 1 and in the Phase 2/3 lower -dose evaluation, in which only
active vacc ine is being administered, blinding is not applicable. T he majority of sponsor
staff will be blinded to study intervention allocation for Dose s1 and 2 in the Phase 2/3
selected- dose portion of the study . All laboratory personnel performing serology assay s will
remain blinded to study intervention assigned/received throughout the stu dyin the Phase 2/3
selected- dose portion of the study . The following sponsor staff, who will have no part in the
blinded conduct of the study , will be unblinded in the Phase 2/3 selected -dose portion of the
study (further details will be provided in a data blinding plan):
Those study team members who are involved in ensuring that protocol requirements for
study intervention preparation, handling, allocation, and administration are fulfilled at the
site will be unblinded for the duration of the stud y (eg , unblinded study manager,
unblinded clinical research associate).
Unblinded clinician(s) who are not direct members of the study team and will not
participate in an y other study -related activities will review unblinded protocol deviations.
An unblinded team supporting interactions with, and anal yses for, the DMC
(seeSection 9.6). This will comprise a statistician and programmer(s) .

become unblinded at the participant level at the time of the first planned reporting event
for the Phase 2/3 selected- dose portion of the study for a given age group to perform the
analyses,other members of this team will only be unblinded at the group level and not
have access to individual participant assignments. A separate group of statisticians and
programmers will remain blinded and continue supporting the blinded conduct of the
study .
At Visit 5 orother time during the Phase 2/3 selected- dose portion of the study , when a
participant who originally received placebo receives BNT162b2 per the SoA in
Section 1.3.3.2 or become eligible for receipt of BNT162b2 according to
recommendations, the study team will become unblinded to the participant’s original
study intervention allocation.
After the stud y data used for submission become public, the blinded study team will also
have access to those data and become unblinded at a group level.
6.3.4. Breaking the Blind
For the Phase 2/3 selected -dose portion of the study up to Visit 5 , the IRT will be
programmed with b lind-breaking instructions. In case of an emergency , the investigator has
the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a participant’s study intervention
assignment is warranted. Participant safet y must always be the first consideration in ma king
such a determination. If the investigator decides that unblinding is warranted, the
investigator should make every effort to contact the sponsor prior to unblinding a
participant’s vaccine assignment unless this could delay further management of the
participant. If a participant’s vaccine assignment is unblinded, the sponsor must be notified
within 24 hours after breaking the blind. The date and reason that the blind was broken must
be re corded in the source documentation and CRF.
The study -specific I RT reference manual and I P manual will provide the contact information
and f urther details on the use of the IRT s ystem.
Instructions on how to unblind participants at Visit 5 will be provided separately .
6.4. Study Intervention Compliance
When participants are dosed at the site, they will receive study intervention directly from the
investigator or designee, under medical supervision. The date and time , as well as the
anatomical location, of each dose administered in the clinic will be recorded in the source
documents and recorded in the CRF. The dose of study intervention and study participant
identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing by a member of the study site staff
other than th e person administering the study intervention.

In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanentl y discontinue study
intervention (definitive disconti nuation). Reasons for definitive discontinuation of study
intervention may include the following : AEs, participant or participant’s parent(s)/legal
guardian’s request; investigator request; pregnancy ; protocol deviation (including no longer
meeting all t he inclusion criter ia or meeting 1 or more exclusion criteria). In general, unless
the investigator considers it unsafe to administer the second dose, or the participant does not
wish to receive it, it is preferred that the second dose be administered.
Note:Phase 1 participants with a positive SARS -CoV -2 NAAT result without symptoms do
not meet exclusion criterion 1 and this should not result in discontinuation of study
intervention . However, a confirmed COVID -19 diagnosis with the presence of at least 1of
the sy mptoms meets ex clusion criterion 1and the participant should be discontinued from
study intervention (see Section 8.16).
Note that discontinuation of study intervention does not represent withdrawal from the stud y.
Per the study estimands, i f study intervention is definitively discontinued, the participant will
remain in the study to be evaluated for safet y, tolerability , immunogenicit y, and efficacy .

follow -up for an y further evaluations that need to be completed.
In the event of discontinuation of study intervention, it must be documented on the
appropriate CRF/in the medical records whether the participant is discontinuing further
receipt of stud y intervention or also from study procedures, post vaccination study follow -up,
and/or future collection of additional information.
7.2.Participant Discontinuation/ Withdrawal F rom the Study
A participant may withdraw from the study at an y time at therequest of the participant or his
or her parent(s) and/or legal guardia n. Reasons for discontinuation from the study include
the following:
Refused further follow -up;
Lost to follow -up;
Death ;
Study terminated by sponsor ;
AEs;
Participant/ participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian request;
Investigator request;
Protocol deviation.
If a participant does not return for a scheduled visit, every effort should be made to contact
him or her or the participant ’s parent(s)/legal guardian as applicable . All attempts to contact
the participant or participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian and information received during
contact attempts must be documented in the participant’s source document. In an y
circumstance, every effort should be made to document participant outcome, if possible.
The participant or participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian should be questioned regarding the
reason for the participant’s withdrawal. The investigator or his or her designee should
capture the reason for withdrawal in the CRF for all participants.
If a participant withdraws from the stud y, the participant or participant ’sparent(s)/legal
guardian may request destruction of any remaining samples taken and not tested, and the
investigator must document an y such requests in the site study records and notify the sponsor
accordingl y.

Page 74If the participant or participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian or a child who has provided assent
during an y phase of the study withdraws from the study and also withdraws consent /assent
(Section 7.2.1 ) for disclosure of further information, no further evaluations should be
performed and no additional data should be collected. The sponsor may retain and continue
to use an y data c ollected before such withdrawal of consent.
Lack of completion of all or an y of the withdrawal/earl y termination procedures will not be
viewed as protocol deviations so long as the participant ’s safet y was preserved.
7.2.1. Withdrawal of Consent
A participant, a participant who has provided assent during an y phase of the study, or a
participant ’s parent(s)/legal guardian who request sto discontinue receipt of study
intervention ,will remain in the study ,and the participant must continue to be followed for
protoc ol-specified follow -up procedures. The only exception to this is when a participant or
participant ’s parent(s)/legal guardian specificall y withdraws consent for any further contact
with persons previousl y authorized to provide this information. Theparticipant or
participant ’s parent(s)/legal guardian should notify the investigator in writing of the decision
to withdraw consent from future follow- up, whenever possible. The withdrawal of consent
should be explained in detail in the medical records by the investigator, as to whether the
withdrawal is only from further receipt of study intervention or also from study procedures
and/or post vaccination study follow -up, and entered on the appropriate CRF page. In the
event that vital status (whether the partic ipant is alive or dead) is being measured, publicl y
available information should be used to determine vital status only as appropriately directed
in accordance with local law.
7.3.Lost to Fol low-up
A participant will be considered lost to follow- up if he or she repeatedl y fails to return for
scheduled visits and theparticipant or participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian is unable to be
contacted b y the stud y site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant or participant ’s parent(s)/legal guardian
fails to attend a required study visit:
The site must attempt to contact the participant or participant ’s parent(s)/legal guardian and
reschedule the missed visit as soon as possible and counsel the participant or participant ’s
parent(s)/legal guardian on th e importance of maintaining the assigned visit schedule and
ascertain whether or not the participant or participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian wishes for
the participant to and/or should continue in the study ;
Before a participant is deemed lost to follow- up, the investigator or designee must make
every effort to regain contact with the participant or participant’s parent(s)/legal guardian
(where possible, 3 telephone calls and, if necessary , a certified letter to the participant’s last
known mailing address or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be
documented in the participant’s medical record ;

8.STUDY ASSESSMENTS A ND PROCEDURES
The investigator (or an appropriate delegate at the investigator site) must obtain a signed and
dated ICD before performing any study -specific procedures.
The fulldate of birth will be collected to criticall y evaluate the immune response and safet y
profile b y age.
Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA. Protocol waivers or
exemptions are not allowed.
Safety issues should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon occurrence or
awareness to determine whether the participant should continue or discontinue study
intervention.
Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is essential
and required for stud y conduct.
All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log to
record details of all pa rticipants screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for
screening failure, as applicable.
Every effort should be made to ensure that protocol -required tests and procedures are
completed as described. However, it is anticipated that from time to time there may be
circumstances outside the control of the investigator that may make it unfeasible to perform
the test. I n these cases, the investigator must take all steps necessary to ensure the safet y and
well-being of the participant. When a prot ocol-required test cannot be performed, the
investigator will document the reason for the missed test and an y corrective and preventive
actions that he or she has taken to ensure that required processes are adhered to as soon as
possible. The study team must be informed of these incidents in a timely manner.
For samples being collected and shipped, detailed collection, processing, storage, and
shipment instructions and contact information will be provided to the investigator site prior
to initiation of the study .
The total blood sampling volume for individual participant s <12 years of age in this study is
approximately 15 mL for Phase 1 and Phase 2/3 participants who will contribute to
immunogenicit y assessment s. The remaining Phase 2/3participants will h ave a 10mL blood
draw. Those participants in the subset who consent to additional blood collection for
isolation of PBMCs may have a total blood sampling volume up to approximately 45mL.
Phase 1 and Phase 2/3 lower -dose evaluation participants 12 to <16 years of age willhave a n
individual total blood sampling volume of approximately 30 mL , and those > 16 years of age
will have an individual total blood sampling volume of approximately 60 mL .

Page 768.1.Efficacy and/or Immunogenicity Assessments
Surveillance for potential cases of COVID -19and MIS-C will occur throughout a
participant ’s involvement in the study to describe both COVI D-19 and MIS-C.
If, at an y time, a participant in the Phase 1 dose -finding /Phase 2/3 selected- dose portions of
the study develops an acute illness (described in Section 8.13), for the purposes of the study
he or she will be considered to potentially have COVID -19 illness.29 In this circumstance,
theparticipant ’s parent(s) /legal guardian should contact the site . An in-person or telehealth
visit should occur, and assessments should be conducted as specified in the SoA. The
assessments will include a nasal (anterior nares ) swab sample collection either b y site staff
perso nnel (clinical visit) or by a participant ’sparent/legal guardian , which will be tested at a
central laboratory using a nRT-PCR test (Cepheid; US FDA -approved under EUA) or o ther
equivalent nucleic acid amplification– based test (ie, NAAT), to detect SARS- CoV -2. In
addition, clinical information and results from local standard-of-care tests (as detailed in
Section 8.13) will be assessed. The central laboratory NAAT result will be used for the case
definition, unless no result is available from the central laboratory , in which case a local
NAAT result may be used ifit was obtained using 1 of the following assays:
Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS -CoV -2
Roche C obas SARS -CoV -2 Real -Time RT -PCR test (EUA200009/A001)
