E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

The primary endpoint for this study is safety: proportion of subjects reporting solicited AEs (including local and systemic and other solicited AEs); proportion of subjects reporting unsolicited AEs; proportion of subjects reporting SAEs, new onset of chronic diseases, medically attended AEs, and AEs leading to vaccine/study withdrawal

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

- Solicited adverse events: day of vaccination and the following 6 days (day 1 to day 7 and day 29 to day 35–the latter only for not previously vaccinated subjects);
- Unsolicited adverse events: AEs occurring for approximately 3 to 4 weeks after each vaccination (ie, from day 1 to day 28; and from day 29 to day 49–the latter only for not previously vaccinated subjects);
- SAEs, new onset of chronic diseases, medically attended AEs, and AEs leading to vaccine/study withdrawal: up to day 213 for “not previously vaccinated” subjects 3 to <9 years or up to day 183 for all other subjects.

ended. Any AE that occurs outside of the protocol-specified observation period or after the end
of the study, but considered to be caused by the study vaccine, must be reported to NVD.
