Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Geometric Mean Concentration of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) S Protein Binding Antibodies Measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) 14 Days After Second Vaccination14 days after second vaccination (at Day 71)

Geometric mean concentration of SARS-CoV-2 S protein binding antibodies measured by ELISA were reported. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Geometric Mean Concentration of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) S Protein Binding Antibodies Measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) 28 Days After First Vaccination28 days after first vaccination (at Day 29)

Geometric mean concentration of SARS-CoV-2 S protein binding antibodies measured by ELISA were reported. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs for 28 Days After Each Vaccination28 days after each vaccination (first vaccination [at Day 29], second vaccination [at Day 85])

Unsolicited AEs were all AEs for which the subject was not specifically questioned in the subject diary. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Percentage of Participants With Serological Response to Vaccination to SARS-COV-2 S Protein as Measured by ELISADay 29, Day 57, Day 71, Week 32, and Week 60

Percentage of participants with serological response to vaccination to SARS-COV-2 S protein as measured by ELISA were reported. A participant was considered a responder if one or both of the following conditions were satisfied: (1) the baseline (pre-dose 1) sample value was less than or equal to (\<=) lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and the post-baseline sample was greater than (\>) LLOQ; (2) the baseline sample (pre-dose 1) value was \>LLOQ and the post-baseline sample value represented an at least 4-fold (\>=4-fold) increase from the baseline sample value. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Geometric Mean Concentration of SARS-CoV-2 S Protein Binding Antibody Measured by ELISADay 29, Day 57, Day 71, Week 32, and Week 60

Geometric mean concentration of SARS-CoV-2 S protein binding antibody measured by ELISA were reported. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Number of Subjects With Solicited Systemic AEs for 7 Days After Each Vaccination7 days after each vaccination (first vaccination [at Day 8], second vaccination [at Day 64])

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Solicited systemic AEs (include body temperature, fatigue, headache, nausea, myalgia) were noted in the subject diary after 7 days of each vaccination. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)From Day 1 (post-vaccination) up to end of the study (up to 60 weeks)

SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may results in death, was life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)From Day 1 (post-vaccination) up to end of the study (up to 60 weeks)

AESIs were significant AEs that were judged to be of special interest because of clinical importance, known or suspected class effects, or based on nonclinical signals. Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome were considered to be an AESI. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Number of Participants With AEs Leading to Study DiscontinuationUp to 60 weeks

Number of participants with AEs leading to study discontinuation were reported. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Number of Participants With Medically-Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)6 months after second vaccination (up to 32 weeks)

MAAEs were 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 were not considered medically-attended visits. New onset of chronic diseases were collected as part of the MAAEs. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.

Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) for 7 Days After Each Vaccination7 days after each vaccination (first vaccination [at Day 8], second vaccination [at Day 64])

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Solicited local AEs were pre-defined local (at the injection site) AEs for which participants were specifically questioned and which were noted by participant in their e-diary for 7 days after each vaccination. Solicited local AEs included injection site pain/tenderness, erythema and swelling at the study vaccine injection site. As per planned analysis, the data were analyzed and reported combined for the main study and sub-study.
