the size of the pediatric safety database. This has
resultedin the total number of participants in this
portionof the study increasing to approximately
9000 participants .
Included blood draw s, procedures, and objectives for
potential troponinI testing in participants 5 to
<12 and 12 to <16years.
Added the rationale for collecting serum samples for
potential troponin I testing .
Revised an objective and corresponding endpoint sto
describe severe COVID -19 cases in participants in
the selected- dose portion of the study .
Clarifiedthe process for participants who become
eligible for receipt of BNT162b2 or another
COVID-19 vaccine prior to Visit 5 (6 -month
follow-up visit).
Added a second definition of symptoms of severe
COVID-19 disease per the CDC definition.
Clarified instructions on how to unblind participants
at the 6-month follow -up visit.
Updated information on the recording ofnonstudy
vaccination and concomitant medications .

intervention administration when the visit occurs
over2 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 .
Addedacountry-specific appendix that allows
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 05Mar2021 Added2age 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 updates 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 additionsto theexclusion criteria for previous
or current diagnosis of MIS -C.
Addedto the exclusion criteria receipt of any passive
antibody therapy specific to COVID -19 within
90daysprior to enrol lment.
Specified thatplacebo recipients 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

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
December2019. InJanuary2020, the pathogen causing this outbreak was identified as a
novel coronavirus 2019. On11 March2020, 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 licensedvaccines to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2or
COVID-19 in participants under 16 years of age . 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 utmost importance.
A Phase 1/2/3 study (C4591001 )is currentl ybeing conducted in healthy individual s 12years
of age and older to investigate the safety , tolerability , immunogenicity ,and efficacy of the
prophylactic BNT162 vaccine candidates against COVID -19. The vaccine candidate
selected for evaluation in the C4591001 P hase 2/3 study isBNT162b2at a 30-µg dose level .
The vaccine is administered as 2 doses approximately 21 days apart.On 18 November 2020,
the primary efficacy analysis results were announced, which demonstrate dBNT162b2 to be
95% effective against COVID -19 beginning 28 days 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 .Safety data from approximately 38,000 participants randomized 1:1 with a
median of 2 months of follow -up afterthe 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 11December 2020,
the US FDA issued an EUA for use in individuals 16 y ears of age and older. Other countries
have also granted E UA (eg, Canada, Mexico, Bahrain), and Pfizer and BioNTech are
anticipating further regulatory decisions in other countries. On 10 May 2021, the US FDA
issued an EUA for use in individual s 12 through 15 years of age. Other countries have also
granted EUA or other authorization/approval for this age group (eg, EMA, UK, Switzerland,
and the Philippines). BNT162b 2 wasapproved by the FDA on 23 August 2021 to prevent
COVID-19 caused b y SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 y ears of age and older .

Page 15This Phase 1/2/3 stud y(C4591007) will initiallyevaluate up to 3doselevels of BNT162b2 in
up to3 age groups (participants ≥5 to <12 y ears, ≥2 to <5 y ears, and ≥ 6monthsto <2 years
of age) for safety, tolerability , immunogenicit y, and efficacy (depending on successful
immunobridging and accrual of asufficient number of cases). Phase 1includesthe
dose-findingportion. I nitiation of dose finding in participants ≥5 to <12 yearsof ageis
based on acceptable blinded safet y datademonstrated in 2260 12-through 15-year-oldsat the
30-µg 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 datafrom 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
≥6monthsto <2 years of age) to those inparticipants 16to 25years of ageinthe Phase 3
C4591001efficacy 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 .
Theauthorized dose of BNT162b 2in adolescents and y oung adults 12 years of age and older
is 30µg,whereas the following doses were selected in the ongoing C4591007 Phase 2/3
portion: 10 µgin participants 5 to <12 years of ageand 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 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 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 .The
Phase 2/3 part will assess immunobridging of immune responses in participants within each
age group to participants in the 30-µgPhase 3 C4591001 efficacy study.
Postmarketing data demonstrate increased risks of my ocarditis and pericarditis, particularly
within 7 day s following the second dose. The observed risk is hig her among males under 40
years of age than among females and older males. The observed risk is highest in males 12
through 17 years of age. Although some cases required intensive care support, available data
from short -term follow -up suggest that most in dividuals have had resolution of sy mptoms
with conservative management. Information is not y et available about potential long -term
sequelae. The CDC has published considerations related to m yocarditis and pericarditis after
vaccination, including for vac cination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or
pericarditis ( https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid- 19/clinical -
considerations/my ocarditis.html). Elevated t roponinIlevelmay be an indicator of
subclinical my ocarditis. If testing of t roponinI levels in individuals who did not receive
BNT162b2 indicates that troponinI level could be a reliable indicator of potential subclinical
myocarditis, obtaining serum samples for potential troponinI testing in an additional group
of participants during the period of increased risk of clinical my ocarditis may help
characterize the absence/presence and frequency of subclinical my ocarditis.

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 BNT162b 2 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 l evels below the lowest stated dose.
Participants will have blood drawn prior to both Dose1and Dose2and 7 day s afterDose2
to assess immunogenicity to determine the selectedBNT162b 2doselevel for Phase 2/3.
Lower-dose evaluation :Is the open- label lower-doseevaluation portion of the study that
willevaluate safet y, tolerability , and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 on a 2-dose (separated
by approximately 21 days) schedulein up to 3 age groups ( participants ≥5 to <12 y ears, 12 to
<16years, and 16to <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 afterDose 2
to assess immunogenicity to determine the selectedBNT162b2 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 theselecteddose 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 casesin 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 years of age in the C4591001 study will be based on
immunogenicit y data collected at baseline an d 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.

Page 18At designated US sites, an additional optional whole blood sample of approximately 10mL
will be obtained prior to Dose1and at 7 days and 6 months after Dose 2from up to
approximately 60 participants ≥10yearsof age. Thesesampleswill be used on an
exploratory basis to investigate the postvaccination cell -mediated immune response at these
timepoints.
At the 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 part of the stud y.
Participants who originally received placebo and become eligible for receipt of BNT162b2 or
another COVID -19 vaccine according to local or national recommendations prior to
6months after Dose2(detailed separatel y and available in the electronic study reference
portal) will have the opportunity to receive BNT16 2b2(10µg or 3 µg) based on age at the
time of approval .If a participant turns 12 y ears of age during the study , he or she has the
following 2 options: receive 10 µg within the study (following provision of informed
consent) or receive a BNT162b2 30 -µg dose outside of the study .
Lower-doseevaluation : Is the portion of the study thatwill evaluate the safety , tolerability ,
and immunogenicit yin each age group at the selected dose level from the Phase 1 lower-dose
evaluation .
In this open -label stud y, all participants will have blood drawn at baseline prior to Dose 1
and at 1 and6 months after Dose 2. Immunobridging to comparator participants inthe
C4591001 study will be based on immunogenicity data collected at baseline and 1 month
after Dose 2. Thepersistence of the immune response will be based on immunogenicit y data
collected in participants at baseline and1and 6 months after Dose 2.
Obtaining serum samples for potentialtroponinI testing: If testing of troponinI levels in
individuals who did not receive BNT162b2 indicates that troponinI level could be a reliable
indicator of potential subclinical myocarditis, obtaining serum samples for potential
troponinI testing during the period of increased risk of clinica l myocarditis may help
characterize the absence/presence and frequency of subclinical my ocarditis. To assess, a n
additional group of participants will be included: 5 to <12 y ears: 750 participants randomized
2:1 to receive BNT162b2 10 µg or placebo ,and500 participants 12to<16years of age:
open-label receipt of BNT162b2 30 µg.

Selected-dose: Is theportion of the study that will evaluate thesafety, tolerability ,and
immunogenicit yof the selected dose levelin each age group from the Phase 1 dose-finding
portion of the study ,witha total of approximately 9000participants, as an additional 2250
participants will be included to further enlarge the size of the pediatric safety database.
Participants will be randomized in a 2:1ratio toreceive active vaccine or placebo .
Approximately 450 participants (300intheactive vaccin e group and 150 in the placebo
group) randomized in each age group in this phase will contribute to theimmunobridging
analysis at 1month after Dose 2 and 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 afterDose 2,approximately
70participants from each age group in the original BNT162b2 vaccine groupwill have an
immunogenicit yblood draw in order to contribute to the anal ysis.All approximately 9000
participants will contribute to the VEanalysis for conditional VE. Approximately 4500
participants who had post– Dose 1 blood sample collection will contribute to the
asymptomatic infection analy sis.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.

Intervention Groups and Duration
Phase 1
Dose-finding: Dosingwill begin at the low-doselevelin 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 days after Dose 1 for the low-doselevelgroup; upon
confirmation of an acceptable safet y assessment by the IRC:
Dosing maycommence at the mid -doselevel in the same age group, and
Dosing maycommence at the low -dose level in participants ≥2 to <5 y ears of age.
The same process will be followed when moving updoselevels 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 days after Dose 1 at the low -dose
level from participants ≥2 to <5 y ears of age.

The study will utilize an IRC, an internal Pfizer committee that will review data to allow
dosefindingin Phase 1.
An external DMC will review cumulative unblinded data and monitor vaccine safet y
throughout the stud y.
Statistical Methods
Immunobridging of the immune response to prophy lactic BNT162b2 in participants within
each age group totheresponse in participants in the comparator group from Phase 2/3 of the
C4591001 study will be assessed separately 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 .
Within 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
declaredif the lower limit of the 95% CI for the GMR (eachage groupto the comparator age
group from the C4591001 study)is >0.67and 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 n oninferiorit y
criteria, the totalit y of evidence willbe evaluated, including RCDCsand the proportion of
participants with neutralizing titer s ≥LLOQ.
A sample size of 225evaluable participants in each age group evaluated in this study andthe
corresponding comparator group from the C4591001 study will provide a power of 90. 4%
and 92.6% to declare immunobridging successbased 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 acrossallage group swhere immunobridging
success is declared in thePhase 2/3 selected- dose portion of the study (if the required number
ofcases are not accrued in eitherofthe 2individual 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 th e placebo group. With the assumption of a true VE of 75%, 22 cases will

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-Csymptoms that overlap with specific
systemicevents (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 clinical picture is more indicative of a possible COVID -19/MIS-Cillness rather
than vaccine reactogenicity .For details, see Section 8.13.

An unplanned potential COVID-19 /MIS-C illness visit isrequired at an y time for the duration of the study that potential
COVID-19/MIS-Csymptoms are reported .During the 7 day s following each dose, potential COVID -19/MIS-Csymptoms that
overlap with specific s ystemicevents (ie, fever, chills, new or increased muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting) should not trigger a potential
COVID-19/MIS-Cillness visit unless, in the investigator’s opinion , the clinical picture is more indicative of a possible
COVID-19/MIS-Cillness rather than vaccine reactogenicit y.For details, see Section 8.13.
Administration of BNT162b2 to those originally assigned to placebo: At the 6-month follow -up visit, all participants will be
unblinded. Participants who originall y received placebo will be offered the opportunity to receive BNT162b2 as part of the study .
Participants who originally received placebo and become eligible for receipt of BNT162b2 or another COVID -19 vaccine according to
local or national recommendations prior to 6 months after Dose2 (detailed separately and available in the electronic stud y reference
portal) will be advised to contact the site to determine whether theycan receive BNT162b2 (10 µg or 3 µg) based on age at the time of
approval. If aparticipant turns 12 y ears of age during the study , he or she has thefollowing 2 options: receive 10 µg within the study
(following provision of informed consent) or receive a BNT162b2 30 -µg doseoutside of the study . When contacted, the site will
conduct a t elephone visit to confirm eligibility and, if the participant is eligible and wants to receive BNT162b2 in the event that he or
she originally received placebo, the site will unblind the participant’s study intervention allocation to determine whether t he
participant received BNT162b2 or placebo .If he or she originally received placebo and wants to receive BNT162b2 (10 µg or 3 µg) ,
the participant will move to the SoA in Section 1.3.3.2 for his or her remaining visits. Participants who originally received BNT162b2

Page 492.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 -dosestudy is torapidly 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-19in participants under 16 y ears of age . Given the global 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 low er 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.
Postmarketing data demonstrate increased risks of my ocarditis and pericarditis, particularly
within 7 day s following the second dose. The observed risk is higher among males under
40years of age than among females and older males. The observed risk is h ighest in males
12 through 17 years of age. Although some cases required intensive care support, available
data from short -term follow -up suggest that most individuals have had resolution of
symptoms with conservative management. Information is not y et available about potential
long-term sequelae. The CDC has published considerations related to my ocarditis and
pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of
myocarditis or pericarditis ( https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine s/covid-19/clinical -
considerations/my ocarditis.html).1Elevated t roponinI level may be an indicator of
subclinical my ocarditis. If testing of t roponinI levels in individuals who did not receive
BNT162b2 indicates that troponinI level could be a reliab le indicator of potential subclinical
myocarditis, obtaining serum samples for potential troponinI testing in an additional group
ofparticipants during the period of increased risk of clinical my ocarditis may help
characterize the absence/presence and frequency of subclinical my ocarditis.
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 genet ic sequence of the 2019-nCoV became available 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 ano ther coronavirus infecting humans, the MERS virus.2,3

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 secondary
inflammatory complications, including MIS-C.4,5
On 11 March 2020, the WHO characterized the COVID -19 outbreak as a pandemic.6
TheWHO Weekly Epidemiology Update Report dated 27September 2020 noted more than
32.7 million COVID -19 cases and 991,000 deaths globally, including 16,233,110 confirmed
cases with
546,864deaths in the Americas.7 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 involvemen t in symptomatic
children is generally mild.8,9,10Nevertheless, severe cases, including those requiring
intensive care support, have been reported.4Of US children diagnosed with COVID -19,
5.7% to 20% were hospitalized, including 0.58% to 2.0% admitted to an I CU.11
MIS-C, an emerging condition that appears to be temporally related to recen t exposure to
SARS-CoV-2, has been described and frequently requires ICUadmission, and may have a
fatal outcome.5,12MIS-C is a febrile hy perinflammatory condition with frequent evidence of
cardiac damage and dermatologic, mucocutaneous, and GI features.12The syndrome appears
to have some overlap with Kawasaki disease shock sy ndrome.13,14Compared with Kawasaki
disease, patients with MIS- C are older, have more cardiac injury , and are more likely to be
black, Hispanic, or of South Asian descent.15As of 29June 2020, approximately 1000 cases
have been reported.15As 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 complications 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%).16Death rates of 2% to 4% have been reported.15MIS-C has been reported in many
countries through out North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America,17including the
US,5,12Italy,18and France.19The United States currently has the most reported cases
globally,with thenumber of confirmed cases continu ingto rise globall y. BNT162b2 was
approved b y the FDA on 23 August 2021 to prevent COVID-19 caused b y SARS-CoV-2 in
individuals 16 y ears of age and older.
A prophylactic, RNA -based SARS -CoV-2 vaccine provid es 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

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
prophylactic 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 2doses given approximately 21 days apart. On 18 November 2020, the primary
efficacy analysis results were announced, which demonstrate dBNT162b2 to be 95%
effective against COVID -19 beginning 7 day s after the seconddose;170 confirmed cases of
COVID-19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine
group.Safety 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 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 1 6 years 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.23On 10 May 2021, the US FDA issued an
EUA for use in individuals 12 through 15 years of age. Other countries have also granted
EUAor other authorization/approval for this age group (eg, EMA, UK, Switzerland, andthe
Philippines).
This Phase 1/2/3 study (C4591007) will initiallyevaluate 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
≥6monthsto <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 -findingportion. Initiation of dose finding in participants ≥5 to
<12years of age will be based on the acceptable blinded safet y datademonstrated in 2260
12-through15-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 datafrom the same age group. Phase 2/3
(referred to as the selected -doseportion of the study )includes an immunobridging analy sisof
immune responses in participants ≥6 months to <12years of age to th ose in participants 16to
25 years of agein the Phase 3 C45 91001 efficacy study. Safety,tolerability ,and efficacy

2.2.1. Clinical Overview
The BNT162 vaccine candidates use an RNA to deliver genetic information to cells, where it
is used to express proteins for the therapeutic effect. This vaccine isfor 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
currently 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
date, no enhanced disease has been observed in SARS -CoV-2 animal models with any
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine platform, including RNA -based vaccines. Such effects have not been
documented so far for SARS -CoV-2.The currently available safet y and immunogenicit y
data are presented in the BNT162 IB.

Page 532.3.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 continued clinical development of BNT162b2.
In the C4591001 stud y, BNT162b2 has been shown to eli cit increased local and sy stemic
adverse reactions as compared to those in the placebo arm, usuall y lasting a few days. The
most common solicited adverse reactions 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 hy persensitivity -related AE s was
numericall y higher in the active vaccine g roup 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
frequently in the active vaccine group than the placebo group and is plausibly related to
vaccination. SAEs, while uncommon (<1.0%), rep resented 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 subgrou p analyses by age, race, ethnicit y,
medical comorbidities, or prior SARS -CoV-2 infection. The risks are based on the observed
safety profile to date, which shows 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 w ith
other vaccines as well as the COVID -19 vaccine.
The most common 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 reactogenicity
e-diary to monitor local reacti ons and systemic
events in real time.
All study participants will be observed for at
least 30 minutes after vaccination.
The safety profile of a novel vaccine is not yet fully
characterized.
Adverse reactions (risks) 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 sho wed
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 saf ety 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 1month 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, r ace/ethnicity,
country, and baseline SARS -CoV-2 status.The current Phase 3 C4591001 study includes
participants 12years of age and older.

Potential for COVID -19 enhancement. Disease enhancement has been seen following RSV,
feline coronavirus, and denguevirus vaccin ations.
No evidence of disease enhancement has been seen
in a large-scale clinical study of BNT162b2 in
humans or in postauthorization surveillance.No evidence of disease enhancement has been
reported in the C4591001 study to date.26
Temporary delay criteria defer vaccination of
participants with symptoms of potential
COVID-19. All participants , with the exception
of Phase 2/3 lower-dose evaluation
participants, are followed for any potential
COVID-19 illness, including markers of
severity, and have blood samples taken for
potential measurement of SARS -CoV-2
neutralizing titers.
For Phase 1/2/3 lower-dose evaluation
participants ,cases of COVID -19 developing
during the study are monitored and will be
reported as AESIs.
MIS-C. Febrile hyperinflammatory condition with
multisystem (≥2)organinvolvement as defined in
Section 8.1.MIS-C will be prospectively collected as a potential
for COVID-19/MIS-Cillness visit sfor the duration
of study participation.
Very rare cases of anaphylaxis, myocarditis ,and
pericarditis have been reported after authorization in
recipients of BNT162b2 .Anaphylaxis: The estimated rate is 5.0 per million
doses administered.
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 wit hin a short time following standard
treatment and rest. Healthcare professionals should
be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis
and pericarditis in vaccine recipients.Specific reference to these risks is made within the
ICD, with instruction to contact a healthcare
professional if a case is suspected.
For anaphylaxis, there is an on -site 30-minute
observation period after vaccination.
Instructions for handling suspected cases of
myocarditis and pericarditis are found in
Section 8.14.

Study Procedures
Participants will be required to attend healthcare
facilities during the global SARS -CoV-2 pandemic.Without appropriate social distancing and PPE,
there is a potential for increased exposure to
SARS-CoV-2.Pfizer will work with sites to ensure an appropriate
COVID-19 prevention strategy. Potential
COVID-19/MIS-C illness visits can be conducted
via telehealth, without the ne ed for an in -person
visit, if required, with the participant ’s
parent(s)/legal guardian performing a n anterior
nasal swab for the participant.
Venipuncture will be performed during the study. There is the risk of bleeding, bruising, hematoma
formation, and infection at the venipuncture site.Only appropriately qualified personnel will obtain
the blood draw . To minimize the total amount of
blood drawn, all participants in Phase 1 and
participants contributing to the immunogenicity
analysis in Phase 2/3 will have at most 3 planned
blood draws, with all remaining participants having
2 planned blood draws.

Page 664.1.1.Phase 1
Dose-finding:Is the open -label dose -findingportion of the study that willevaluate safet y,
tolerability, and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 administered on a 2-dose (separated b y
approximately 21days) schedule in up to 3 age groups ( participants ≥5 to <12 y ears,
≥2 to <5 y ears, and ≥ 6monthsto <2 years of age).
Dosefinding is being initiated in this study in particip ants ≥5 to <12 y ears of age based on
the acceptable blinded safety assessment of the 30-µ g 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 BNT16 2b2 from up to 3
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/ormay
beadded with dose levels 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) schedulein up to 3 age groups ( participants ≥5 to <12 y ears, 12 to
<16 years, and 16to <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 days after Dose 2
to assess immunogenicity to determine the selectedBNT162b2 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 thatwill 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 ca ses 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 25years of age in the C4591001 study will be based on
immunogenicit y data collected at baseline and 1 month after Dose 2.

participants at baseline and at 1, 6, 12 (original BNT162b2 group only ),and24 monthsafter
Dose 2(original BNT162b2 group onl y). In addition, efficacy against confirmed COVID -19
and against as ymptomatic infection will also be assessed.
At designated US sites, an additional optional whole blood s ample 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 the6-month 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 origin ally received placebo and become eligible for receipt of
BNT162b2 or another COVID -19 vaccine according tolocal or national recommendations
prior to 6 months after Dose 2(detailed separatel y and available in the electronic study
reference portal )will have the opportunity to receive BNT162b2 (10 µg or 3 µg )based on
age at the time at the approval. If a participant turns 12 y ears of age during the study , he or
she hasthe following 2 options: receive 10 µg within the study (following provision of
informed consent) or receive a BNT162b2 30 -µg dose outside of the study .
Lower-dose evaluation :Is the portion of the study thatwill evaluate the safety , tolerability ,
and immunogenicit y in each age group at the selected dose level from the Phase 1 lower-dose
evaluation .
In this open -label stud y, all participants will have blood drawn at baseline prior to Dose 1
and at 1 and6 months after Dose 2. Immunobridging to comparator participants in the
C4591001 study will be based on immunogenicity data collected at baseline and 1 month
after Dose 2. The persistence of the immune response will be based on immunogenicit y data
collected in participants at baseline and1 and 6 months after Dose 2.
Obtaining serum samples for potential troponinI testing: If testing of troponinI levels in
individuals who did not receive BNT162b2indicates that troponinIlevelcould be a reliable
indicator of potential subclinical myocarditis, obtaining serum samples for potential
troponinI testing during the period of inc reased risk of clinical my ocarditis may help
characterize the absence/presence and frequency of subclinical my ocarditis. To assess, an
additional group of participants will be included: 5 to <12 y ears: randomized 2:1 to receive
BNT162b2 10 µg or placebo, and 12to <16years of age: open-label receipt of BNT162b2
30 µg.

Page 714.1.4. Intervention Groups and Duration
Phase 1open-label dose-finding: Dosing will begin at the low -doselevelin 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 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 maycommence at the mid -doselevel 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 doselevels in each age group, a nd 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-doselevel or high- doselevel 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 commence.
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 to proceed to 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 maximum of approximately
26months.
Phase 1 lower-dose evaluation : As safety 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
The IRC will review safety data (e-diary and AEs) acquired up to 7 day s after Dose 2.

4.2.Scientific Rationale for Study Design
Additional surveillance for COVID-19/MIS-Cin Phase 1 dose -findingand Phase 2/3
selected-doseparticipants 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-Cillnessvisit 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 teratogenicity based on the intended mechanism
of action of the compound. Therefore, the use of a highly effective method of contraception
is required (see Appendix 4 ) for WOC BP.
4.3.Justification for Dose
Dose-findingandselected-doseevaluation :Based on acceptable blinded safet y datain
2260 12-through 1 5-year-olds at the 30- µg dose level in the C4591001 study, dose-findingis
considered in this study using the same vaccine candidate .24 Therefore, this study will start
with a 10-µgdoselevel for Phase 1 participants ≥5 to <12 y ears of age , whichwas well
tolerated in adults 18 to 55years of age in C4591001, before moving to anotherdoselevelin
this age group or initiating the younger age groups (20 µg, 30 µgwith an option of 3 µg).
Lower-dose evaluation (participants 5 to <12, 12 to <16, 16 to <30years of age ):The
authorized dose of BNT162b2 in adolescents and y oung adults 12 y earsof ageand 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 yearsof ageand 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 thedose levels across children
and young adults, additional lower dose levels of BNT162b2 (3 µg, 10 µg) will be evaluated

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 immunogenicity . The
Phase2/3 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.
Obtaining serum samples for potential troponinI testing (5 to <12 years of age,
placebo-controlled ,and12 to <16 years of age, open -label):The authorized dose of
BNT162b2 in adolescents and y oung adults 12 y ears of age and older is 30 µg, whereas in
