Unadjusted observed antibody values assessed by pseudovirus neutralizing antibody assay reported as below the LLOQ (18.5 for ancestral [D614G] and 19.9 for Omicron BA.1) are replaced by 0.5 × LLOQ. Values greater than ULOQ (45,118 for ancestral SARS-CoV-2 [D614G] and 15,502.7) for Omicron BA.1 are replaced by the ULOQ if actual values are not available. Includes participants in the per-protocol immunogenicity set without evidence of pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 infection (PPIS-negative). Participant immune response data is censored at the last date of study participation (study discontinuation, study completion, or death), non-study COVID-19 vaccination date, or data cutoff/extraction date, whichever is the earliest.

ANCOVA analysis of covariance, CI confidence interval, GMT geometric mean titer, GMFR geometric mean fold rise (days 29 and 91 post-baseline timepoint over pre-booster baseline), GMR geometric mean ratio, mRNA-1273.214 versus mRNA-1273, LLOQ lower limit of quantification, LS least squares, SRR seroresponse rate, ULOQ upper limit of quantification.

aNumber of participants with non-missing data at the timepoint (baseline or post-baseline). Estimated GMTs from an ANCOVA model, adjusted for covariates were used for assessments of differences in antibody responses (GMRs, SRRs).

b95% CI based on the t-distribution of log-transformed values or difference in the log-transformed values for GMT value and GMFR, respectively, then back transformed to the original scale.

cLog-transformed antibody levels are analyzed using an ANCOVA model with the treatment variable as fixed effect, adjusting for age group (<65, ≥65 years) and pre-booster titers. The resulting LS means, difference of LS means, and 95% CI and 97.5% CI are back transformed to the original scale.

dSeroresponse at a participant level based on pre-injection 1 baseline, defined as a change from <LLOQ to ≥4 × LLOQ, or at least a fourfold rise if baseline is ≥LLOQ; comparison to pre-vaccination baseline for participants without pre-injection 1 antibody titer information who had a corresponding day 29 post-boost assessment and negative SARS-CoV-2 status at pre-injection 1 of the primary series, seroresponse was defined as ≥4 x LLOQ and antibody titers were imputed as <LLOQ at pre-injection 1 of the primary series. For participants who were without SARS-CoV-2 status information at pre-injection 1 of primary series, their pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 status was used to impute their SARS-CoV-2 status at their pre-injection 1 of the primary series. Percentages were based on the number of participants with non-missing data at baseline and the corresponding time point.

e95% CI is calculated using the Clopper–Pearson method.

f97.5% CI was calculated by stratified Miettinen–Nurminen method adjusted by age group. The stratified Miettinen–Nurminen estimate and the CI cannot be calculated when the seroresponse rate in both groups is 100%, absolute difference is reported.

gExceeded non-inferiority criteria and met superiority criteria including lower bound CI > 1 and testing sequence.
