  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Main Study: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) S Protein Binding Antibodies Concentration Measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) 28 Days After First Vaccination [28 days after first vaccination (Day 29)]

      SARS-CoV-2 S protein binding antibodies concentration measured by ELISA will be reported.

    2. Main Study: ELISA Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) 28 Days After First Vaccination [28 days after first vaccination (Day 29)]

      Non-inferiority (NI) will be assessed in terms of humoral immune response expressed by the GMCs of S-ELISA.

    3. Main Study: SARS-CoV-2 S Protein Binding Antibodies Concentration Measured by ELISA 14 Days After Second Vaccination [14 days after second vaccination (Day 71)]

      SARS-CoV-2 S protein binding antibodies concentration measured by ELISA will be reported.

    4. Main Study: ELISA GMCs 14 Days After Second Vaccination [14 days after second vaccination (Day 71)]

      NI will be assessed in terms of humoral immune response expressed by the GMCs of S-ELISA.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Main and Sub Study: Serological Response to Vaccination to SARS-COV-2 S Protein as Measured by ELISA [Up to 60 weeks]

      Serological response to vaccination to SARS-COV-2 S protein as measured by ELISA will be reported.

    2. Main and Sub Study: SARS-CoV-2 S Protein Binding Antibody GMCs as Measured by ELISA or Equivalent Assay [Up to 60 weeks]

      SARS-CoV-2 S protein binding antibody GMCs as measured by ELISA or equivalent assay will be reported.

    3. Main and Sub Study: Number of Participants with Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) for 7 Days After Each Vaccination [7 days after first vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 8); 7 days after second vaccination on Day 57 (up to Day 64)]

      Solicited local AEs include injection site pain/tenderness, erythema and swelling at the study vaccine injection site and the extent (largest diameter) of any erythema and swelling (using the ruler supplied) will be noted in the participant diary after 7 days after each vaccination.

    4. Main and Sub Study: Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs for 7 Days After Each Vaccination [7 days after first vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 8); 7 days after second vaccination on Day 57 (up to Day 64)]

      Solicited systemic AEs (include body temperature, fatigue, headache, nausea, myalgia) will be noted in the participant diary after 7 days of each vaccination.

    5. Main and Sub Study: Number of Participants with Unsolicited AEs for 28 Days After Each Vaccination [28 days after first vaccination on Day 1 (up to Day 29); 28 days after second vaccination on Day 57 (up to Day 85)]

      Unsolicited AEs are all AEs for which the participant is not specifically questioned in the participant diary.

    6. Main and Sub Study: Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Up to 60 weeks]

      SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.

    7. Main and Sub Study: Number of Participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) [Up to 60 weeks]

      Number of participants with AESIs will be reported. Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome is considered to be an AESI.

    8. Main and Sub Study: Number of Participants with Medically-Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs) [6 months after second vaccination (up to 32 weeks)]

      MAAEs are defined as AEs with medically-attended visits including hospital, emergency room, urgent care clinic, or other visits to or from medical personnel for any reason. Routine study visits will not be considered medically-attended visits. New onset of chronic diseases will be collected as part of the MAAEs.

    9. Main Study: Number of Participants with AEs Leading to Study Discontinuation [Up to 60 weeks]

      Number of participants with AEs leading to study discontinuation will be reported.
