E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Maternal Participants
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
Weight:

Medical Conditions:
2. Bleeding diathesis or condition associated with prolonged bleeding that would, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicate intramuscular injection.
3. History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of the investigational product or any related vaccine.
4. Current pregnancy resulting from in vitro fertilization. Participants known to have used clomiphene citrate and/or letrozole with or without intrauterine insemination (IUI) are permitted.
5. Current pregnancy complications or abnormalities at the time of consent that will increase the risk associated with the participation in and completion of the study, including but not limited to the following (refer to the ISF for further details):
•Preeclampsia, eclampsia, or uncontrolled gestational hypertension.
•Placental abnormality.
•Polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios.
•Significant bleeding or blood clotting disorder.
•Endocrine disorders, including untreated hyperthyroidism or untreated hypothyroidism. This also includes disorders of glucose intolerance (eg, diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2) antedating pregnancy or occurring during pregnancy if uncontrolled at the time of consent.
•Any signs of premature labor with the current pregnancy or having ongoing intervention (medical/surgical) in the current pregnancy to prevent preterm birth.
6. Prior pregnancy complications or abnormalities at the time of consent, based on the investigator’s judgment, that will increase the risk associated with the participation in and completion of the study, including but not limited to the following:
•Prior preterm delivery ≤34 weeks’ gestation.
•Prior stillbirth or neonatal death.
•Previous infant with a known genetic disorder or significant congenital anomaly.
7. Major illness of the maternal participant or conditions of the fetus that, in the investigator’s judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the maternal participant’s participation in, and completion of, the study or could preclude the evaluation of the maternal participant’s response.
8. Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency disorder, or rheumatologic disorder or other illness requiring chronic treatment with known immunosuppressant medications, including monoclonal antibodies, within the year prior to enrollment.
9. Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
Prior/Concomitant Therapy:
10. Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 28 days prior to consent and/or during study participation.
11. Receipt of monoclonal antibodies within the year prior to enrollment or the use of systemic corticosteroids for >14 days within 28 days prior to study enrollment. Prednisone use of <20 mg/day for ≤14 days is permitted. Inhaled/nebulized, intraarticular, intrabursal, or topical (skin or eyes) corticosteroids are permitted.
12. Current alcohol abuse or illicit drug use.

Diagnostic Assessments:
Not applicable.
