PF-07302048 (BNT162 RNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccines)
                   Protocol C4591001


                   power to conclude true VE >30%.  This would be achieved with a total 43,998 participants
                   (21,999 vaccine recipients), based on the assumption of a 1.3% per year incidence in the
                   placebo group, accrual of 164 primary-endpoint cases within 6 months, and 20% of the
                   participants being nonevaluable.  If the attack rate is much higher, case accrual would be
                   expected to be more rapid, enabling the study’s primary endpoint to be evaluated much
                   sooner.  The total number of participants enrolled in Phase 2/3 may vary depending on the
                   incidence of COVID-19 at the time of the enrollment, the true underlying VE, and a potential
                   early stop for efficacy or futility.

                   VE will be evaluated using a beta-binomial model and the posterior probability of VE being
                   >30% will be assessed.

                   In Phase 3, up to approximately 2000 participants are anticipated to be 12 to 15 years of age.
                   Noninferiority of immune response to prophylactic BNT162b2 in participants 12 to 15 years
                   of age to response in participants 16 to 25 years of age will be assessed based on the GMR of
                   SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing titers using a 1.5-fold margin.  A sample size of 200 evaluable
                   participants (or 250 vaccine recipients) per age group will provide a power of 90.8% to
                   declare the noninferiority in terms of GMR (lower limit of 95% CI for GMR >0.67).


                   The primary safety objective will be evaluated by descriptive summary statistics for local
                   reactions, systemic events, AEs/SAEs, and abnormal hematology and chemistry laboratory
                   parameters (Phase 1 only), for each vaccine group.  A 3-tier approach will be used to
                   summarize AEs in Phase 2/3.

                   Except for the objective to assess the noninferiority of immune response in participants 12 to
                   15 years of age compared to participants 16 to 25 years of age, the other immunogenicity
                   objectives will be evaluated descriptively by GMT, GMC, GMFR, percentage of participants
                   with ≥4-fold rise, percentage of participants with ≥ specified threshold, and GMC ratio, and
                   the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs), for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing titers,
                   S1-binding IgG levels, and/or RBD-binding IgG levels at the various time points.
