Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions (ARs) Within 7 Days After Day 1 Injection

    Time frame: Up to 7 days after Day 1 injection

    Solicited ARs were collected in an electronic diary (eDiary). Local ARs: injection site pain, erythema (redness), swelling/induration (hardness); and axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness ipsilateral to the side of injection. Systemic ARs: fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea/vomiting, and chills. Note, not all solicited ARs were considered adverse events (AEs). Investigator reviewed whether the solicited AR was also to be recorded as an AE. A summary of serious AEs (SAEs) and nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" section.

  2. Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic ARs Within 7 Days After Day 57 Injection

    Time frame: Up to 7 days after Day 57 injection

    Solicited ARs were collected in an eDiary. Local ARs: injection site pain, erythema (redness), swelling/induration (hardness); and axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness ipsilateral to the side of injection. Systemic ARs: fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea/vomiting, and chills. Note, not all solicited ARs were considered AEs. Investigator reviewed whether the solicited AR was also to be recorded as an AE. A summary of SAEs and nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" section.

  3. Number of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic ARs Within 7 Days After Day 169 Injection

    Time frame: Up to 7 days after Day 169 injection

    Solicited ARs were collected in an eDiary. Local ARs: injection site pain, erythema (redness), swelling/induration (hardness); and axillary (underarm) swelling or tenderness ipsilateral to the side of injection. Systemic ARs: fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea/vomiting, and chills. Note, not all solicited ARs were considered AEs. Investigator reviewed whether the solicited AR was also to be recorded as an AE. A summary of SAEs and nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" section.

  4. Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs

    Time frame: Up to 28 days post any injection

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. Any abnormal laboratory test result (hematology, clinical chemistry, or prothrombin time [PT]/partial thromboplastin time [PTT]) or other safety assessment (for example, electrocardiogram, radiological scan, vital sign measurement), including one that worsened from baseline and was considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the Investigator was recorded as an AE. A summary of SAEs and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" section.

  5. Number of Participants With Medically Attended AEs (MAAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), SAEs, and AEs Leading to Study Discontinuation

    Time frame: Day 1 up to Month 18

    A MAAE is an AE that led to an unscheduled visit to a healthcare practitioner. An SAE was defined as any AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. An AESI was an AE (serious or nonserious) of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and immediate notification by the Investigator to the Sponsor were required. A summary of SAEs and all nonserious AEs ("Other"), regardless of causality, is located in the "Reported Adverse Events" section.

Other outcomes

  1. Number of Deaths Related to Study Drug

    Time frame: Day 1 up to Month 18

    A death that occurred during the study or that came to the attention of the investigator during the study was reported to the Sponsor, whether or not it was considered related to study drug. The investigator assessed causality (that is, whether there is a reasonable possibility that the study drug caused the death). The relationship was characterized using the following classifications: Not related: There was not a reasonable possibility of a relationship to the study drug. The temporal sequence of the death relative to administration of the study drug was not reasonable AND/OR the death was more likely explained by a cause other than the study drug. Related: There was a reasonable possibility of a relationship to the study drug. There was evidence of exposure to the study drug. The temporal sequence of the death relative to the administration of the study drug was reasonable. The death was more likely explained by the study drug than by another cause.
