The primary analysis is pre-specified in the protocol and will be the basis for a regulatory submission for Emergency Use Authorization to the US Food and Drug Administration in the coming weeks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis primary efficacy analysis included the accrual of 190 symptomatic cases of COVID-19 from the 32,449 trial participants, an additional 49 cases to the previously announced interim analysis. Participants were randomized on a 2:1 ratio between the vaccine and placebo group.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe primary endpoint, vaccine efficacy at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 was 76% (confidence interval (CI): 68% to 82%) occurring 15 days or more after receiving two doses given four weeks apart. In addition, results were comparable across age groups, with vaccine efficacy of 85% (CI: 58% to 95%) in adults 65 years and older. A key secondary endpoint, preventing severe or critical disease and hospitalization, demonstrated 100% efficacy. There were eight cases of severe COVID-19 observed in the primary analysis with all of those cases in the placebo group.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe vaccine was well tolerated, and no safety concerns related to the vaccine were identified.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMene Pangalos, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals R&amp;D, said: \u201cThe primary analysis is consistent with our previously released interim analysis, and confirms that our COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective in adults, including those aged 65 years and over. We look forward to filing our regulatory submission for Emergency Use Authorization in the US and preparing for the rollout of millions of doses across America.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThere were 190 cases in the primary analysis. There are 14 additional possible or probable cases to be adjudicated so the total number of cases and the point estimate may fluctuate slightly.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAstraZeneca will also submit the primary analysis for peer-reviewed publication in the coming weeks.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>D8110C00001<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe US Phase III trial, called D8110C00001, was led by AstraZeneca and funded by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in collaboration with the Department of Defense Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) and the Army Contracting Command, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the US National Institutes of Health. The NIAID-supported COVID-19 Prevention Network (CoVPN) participated in the trial.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nD8110C00001 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter Phase III trial assessing the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of AZD1222 compared to placebo for the prevention of COVID-19, in 32,449 participants across 88 trial centers in the US, Peru and Chile. Trial participants aged 18 years or over who are healthy or have medically stable chronic diseases and are at increased risk for being exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive two intramuscular doses of either 5 x10<sup>10<\/sup> viral particles of AZD1222 or saline placebo four weeks apart.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe pre-specified statistical analysis plan required at least 75 adjudicated cases at interim analysis, and at least 150 adjudicated cases at primary analysis.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>AZD1222<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAZD1222 was co-invented by the University of Oxford and its spin-out company, Vaccitech. It uses a replication-deficient chimpanzee viral vector based on a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that causes infections in chimpanzees and contains the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. After vaccination, the surface spike protein is produced, priming the immune system to attack the SARS-CoV-2 virus if it later infects the body.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn May 2020, AstraZeneca <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.astrazeneca.com%2Fmedia-centre%2Fpress-releases%2F2020%2Fastrazeneca-advances-response-to-global-covid-19-challenge-as-it-receives-first-commitments-for-oxfords-potential-new-vaccine.html&amp;esheet=52401357&amp;newsitemid=20210324006015&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=received&amp;index=1&amp;md5=66916d375e55b451d0122f2afa76edf8\">received<\/a> support of more than $1bn from BARDA for the development, production and delivery of the vaccine under an agreement with the US Department of Defense\u2019s Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense.
