The full preexposure analysis set consisted of all the participants who had undergone randomization, received at least one injection of AZD7442 or placebo, and did not have RT-PCR–confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection at baseline. Estimates were based on a Poisson regression with robust variance. The model included trial group (AZD7442 or placebo) and age at informed consent (≥60 years or <60 years), with the log of the follow-up time as an offset. Unadjusted relative risk reductions (95% CI) for the primary end point were the same as the adjusted relative risk reductions for both the primary analysis and the median 6-month follow-up. An estimated relative risk reduction greater than 0 favored AZD7442, with a P value of less than 0.05 indicating statistical significance.
This analysis was not prespecified in the trial protocol, so P values were not calculated.
