The confidence intervals (CI) have not been adjusted for multiplicity, so the intervals should not be used to infer definitive treatment effects for secondary outcomes.

The IgG serum binding antibody response was measured as the geometric mean titer (GMT) of the binding antibody units per milliliter against the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 variant (WA1 S-2P).

The pseudovirus neutralizing antibody response was measured with the use of a pseudovirus expressing the D614G mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and reported as the titer in international units of the 50% inhibitory dose (IU50) per milliliter.
