Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants Achieving Binary Response [From 15 days post second dose up to DCO of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeks]

    A binary response, whereby a participant with negative serostatus at baseline is defined as a COVID-19 case if their first case of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive symptomatic illness occurs ≥ 15 days post second dose of study intervention. Otherwise, a participant is not defined as a COVID-19 case. The primary efficacy analysis was performed once approximately 150 events meeting the primary efficacy outcome measure definition had occurred across the AZD1222 and placebo groups.

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Occurring Post Each Dose of Study Intervention [From Day 1 up to 28 days post second dose of study intervention, approximately 57 days]

    An AE is the development of any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

  3. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE), Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAE), and Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) Occurring Throughout the Study [From Day 1 up to DCO of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of approximately 27 weeks]

    An SAE is an AE occurring during any study phase that fulfils one or more of the following criteria: death; immediately life-threatening; in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability or incapacity; congenital abnormality or birth defect; an important medical event. AESIs were events of scientific and medical interest specific to the further understanding of the study intervention safety profile and required close monitoring and rapid communication by the investigators to the sponsor. MAAEs are defined as AEs leading to medically-attended visits that were not routine visits for physical examination or vaccination, such as an emergency room visit, or an otherwise unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason.

  4. Number of Participants With Local and Systemic Solicited AEs in the Substudy Only [From Day 1 up to 7 days post each dose of study intervention, approximately 14 days]

    Solicited AEs are local or systemic predefined events for assessment of reactogenicity. Solicited AEs were collected in a e-Diary only for participants in the substudy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With First Post-intervention Response for SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies Occurring Post Second Dose of Study Intervention [From 15 days post second dose up to DCO of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeks]

    The incidence of the first post-intervention response (negative at baseline to positive post intervention with study intervention) for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies occurring ≥ 15 days post second dose of study intervention (key secondary endpoint).

  2. Number of Participants With First COVID-19 Symptomatic Illness Using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Criteria Occurring Post Second Dose of Study Intervention [From 15 days post second dose up to DCO of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeks]

    The incidence of the first case of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive symptomatic illness occurring ≥ 15 days post second dose of study intervention using CDC criteria. Participant must present with at least one of the following symptoms per CDC criteria: fever, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, cough, fatigue, muscle aches, body aches, headache, new loss of taste, new loss of smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

  3. Number of Participants With First COVID-19 Symptomatic Illness Using University of Oxford-Defined Symptom Criteria Occurring Post Second Dose of Study Intervention [From 15 days post second dose up to DCO of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeks]

    The incidence of the first case of SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR-positive symptomatic illness occurring ≥ 15 days post second dose of study intervention using University of Oxford-defined symptom criteria: new onset of fever (> 100 °Fahrenheit [> 37.8 °Celsius]), cough, shortness of breath, or anosmia/ageusia.

  4. Number of Participants With First Symptomatic COVID-19 Regardless of Evidence of Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection Occurring Post Second Dose of Study Intervention [From 15 days post second dose up to DCO of 05 March 2021 or study discontinuation or unblinding or receipt of non-study COVID-19 vaccination, up to a maximum of 17 weeks]
