Safety and Efficacy of BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Phase 3 Data
Phase 3 data of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine, including study design, participant groups, primary endpoints, and key findings regarding safety and efficacy. The vaccine demonstrated efficacy against confirmed Covid-19, with reported local and systemic adverse effects within a specified timeframe post-vaccination. The study, conducted in multiple countries, involved individuals aged 16 years and above, either healthy or with stable chronic medical conditions, excluding those with a history of Covid-19 infection or certain immunocompromising conditions. Notable features of the vaccine formulation were lipid nanoparticles and nucleoside-modified RNA encoding the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Background BNT162b2 is a lipid nanoparticle formulated nucleoside-modified RNA encoding the SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike protein, modified by two proline mutations to lock the protein in the prefusion conformation.

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Additional notes The cumulative incidence of Covid-19 cases over time among placebo and vaccine recipients begins to diverge by 12 days after the first dose, 7 days after the estimated median viral incubation period of 5 days In the interval between the first and second doses, the observed vaccine efficacy against Covid-19 was 52% - Some protection occurs as soon as 12 days after first dose Of the 10 cases of severe Covid-19 disease, only 1 was in vaccine group - Provides preliminary evidence of vaccine-mediated protection against severe disease - Provides preliminary evidence to alleviate concerns over vaccine-mediated disease enhancement Source: Polack FP, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2603-15.
Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Study Limitations Median follow-up time of 2 months after the second dose limits probability of detecting less common adverse events reliably Assessment of long-term vaccine safety and efficacy cannot be conducted in the context of maintaining a placebo group for the planned follow-up period of 2 years after the second dose Study did not address whether vaccine prevents: - Asymptomatic Covid-19 infection - Covid-19 in younger adolescents, children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals Source: Polack FP, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2603-15.
Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Authors Conclusions Conclusions: A two-dose regimen of BNT162b2 conferred 95% protection against Covid-19 in persons 16 years of age or older. Safety over a median of 2 months was similar to that of other viral vaccines. Source: Polack FP, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;383:2603-15.

Efficacy and Safety of the mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine: Additional notes Fewer occurrences of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection were noted after a singe dose of mRNA-1273, though the trial was not designed to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose The magnitude of mRNA-1273 vaccine efficacy at preventing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is higher than the efficacy observed for vaccines for respiratory viruses (e.g. 59% efficacy seen for inactivated influenza vaccine) No evidence in the short term of enhanced respiratory disease after infection Source: Baden LR, et al.

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine: Authors Conclusions Conclusions: The mRNA-1273 vaccine showed 94.1% efficacy at preventing Covid-19 illness, including severe disease. Aside from transient local and systemic reactions, no safety concerns were identified. Source: Baden LR, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020 Dec 30. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2035389
