`
`1. INTRODUCTION
`
`Reference is made to the Request for Comments and Advice submitted 04 February 2021
`regarding Pfizer/BioNTech’s proposalfor the clinical and post-authorization safety data
`package for the Biologics License Application (BLA) for our investigational COVID-19
`Vaccine (BNT162b2). Further reference is made to the Agency’s 09 March 2021 response to
`this request, and specifically, the following request from the Agency.
`
`‘Monthly safety reports primarilyfocus on events that occurred during the reporting interval
`and include information not relevant to a BLA submission such aslinelists ofadverse events
`by country. We are most interested in a cumulative analysis ofpost-authorization safety data
`to support yourfuture BLA submission. Please submit an integrated analysis ofyour
`cumulative post-authorization safety data, including U.S. andforeign post-authorization
`experience, in your upcoming BLA submission. Please include a cumulative analysis ofthe
`Important Identified Risks, Important Potential Risks, and areas ofImportant Missing
`Information identified in your Pharmacovigilance Plan, as well as adverse events ofspecial
`interest and vaccine administration errors (whether or not associated with an adverse event).
`Please also include distribution data and an analysis ofthe most common adverse events. In
`addition, please submit your updated Pharmacovigilance Plan with your BLA submission.”
`
`This documentprovides an integrated analysis of the cumulative post-authorization safety
`data, including U.S. and foreign post-authorization adverse event reports received through 28
`February 2021.
`
`2. METHODOLOGY
`
`Pfizer is responsible for the managementpost-authorization safety data on behalf of the
`MAHBioNTechaccording to the Pharmacovigilance Agreementin place. Data from
`BioNTechare included in the report when applicable.
`
`Pfizer’s safety database contains cases of AEs reported spontaneously to Pfizer, cases
`reported by the health authorities, cases published in the medical literature, cases from
`Pfizer-sponsored marketing programs, non-interventional studies, and cases of serious AEs
`reported from clinical studies regardless of causality assessment.
`
`The limitations of post-marketing adverse drug event reporting should be considered when
`interpreting these data:
`
`e Reports are submitted voluntarily, and the magnitude of underreporting is unknown.
`Someofthe factors that may influence whetheran event is reported include: length of
`time since marketing, market share of the drug, publicity about a drug or an AE,
`seriousnessof the reaction, regulatory actions, awareness by health professionals and
`consumers of adverse drug event reporting, andlitigation.
`
`e Because many external factors influence whetheror not an AEis reported, the
`spontaneous reporting system yields reporting proportions not incidence rates. As a
`result, it is generally not appropriate to make between-drug comparisonsusing these

`
`proportions; the spontaneous reporting system should be used forsignal detection
`rather than hypothesis testing.
`

`
`In some reports, clinical information (such as medical history, validation of diagnosis,
`time from drug useto onsetofillness, dose, and use of concomitant drugs) is missing
`or incomplete, and follow-up information may not be available.
`
`e Anaccumulation of adverse event reports (AERs) does not necessarily indicate that a
`particular AE was caused bythe drug; rather, the event may be due to an underlying
`disease or some otherfactor(s) such as past medical history or concomitant
`medication.
`
`e Among adverse event reports received into the Pfizer safety database during the
`cumulative period, only those having a complete workflow cycle in the safety database
`(meaning they progressed to Distribution or Closed workflow status) are included in the
`monthly SMSR. This approach prevents the inclusion ofcases that are not fully processed
`hence not accuratelyreflecting final information. Due to the large numbers of
`spontaneous adverse event reports received for the product, the MAH hasprioritised the
`processing of serious cases, in order to meet expedited regulatory reporting timelines and
`ensure these reports are available for signal detection and evaluation activity. The
`increased volume of reports has not impacted case processing for serious reports, and
`compliance metrics continue to be monitored weekly with promptaction taken as needed
`to maintain compliance with expedited reporting obligations. Non-serious cases are
`entered into the safety database no later than 4 calendar days from receipt. Entrance into
`the database includes the coding ofall adverse events; this allow for a manual reviewof
`events being received but may not include immediate case processing to completion.
`Non-serious cases are processed as soon as possible and nolater than 90 days from
`receipt. Pfizer has also taken a multiple actions to help alleviate the large increase of
`adverse event reports. This includes significant technology enhancements, and process
`and workflow solutions, as well as increasing the numberofdata entry and case
`
`processing colleagues. To date, Pfizer has onboarded approximately "| additional full-
`
`time employees (FTEs). More are joining each month with an expected total of more than
`
`additional resources by the end of June 2021.

`2020 through 28 February 2021.
`
`Cumulatively, through 28 February 2021, there was a total of 42,086 case reports (25,379
`medically confirmed and 16,707 non-medically confirmed) containing 158,893 events. Most

`
`Conclusion: Evaluation of BC cases Level | - 4 did not reveal any significant new safety information.
`Anaphylaxis is appropriately described in the product labeling as are non-anaphylactic hypersensitivity
`events. Surveillance will continue.
`Different clinical outcome may be reported for an event that occurred more than once to the same individual.
`There were 4 individuals in the anaphylaxis evaluation who died on the same day they were vaccinated.
`Although these patients experienced adverse events (9) that are potential symptomsof anaphylaxis, they all had serious
`underlying medical conditions, and one individual appearedto also have COVID-19 pneumonia, that likely contributed to
`their deaths

`
`The coding conventions for lack ofefficacy in the context ofadministration of the COVID-19 vaccine
`were revised on 15 February 2021, as shown below:
`PT “Vaccination failure” is coded when ALLofthe following criteria are met:

`The subject has received the series of two doses perthe dosing regimen in local
`labeling,
`Atleast 7 days have elapsed since the second dose of vaccine has been administered.
`co
`The subject experiences SARS-CoV-2 infection (confirmed laboratory tests).
`o
`PT “Drug ineffective” is coded when either of the following applies:

`Theinfection is not confirmed as SARS-CoV-2 through laboratory tests
`(irrespective of the vaccination schedule). This includes scenarios where LOEis
`stated or implied, e.g., “the vaccine did not work”, “I got COVID-19”.
`It is unknown:
`=* Whether the subject has received the series of two doses per the dosing
`regimenin local labeling;
`How manydayshave passed since the first dose (including unspecified
`numberof dayslike” a few days”, “some days”, etc.);
`If 7 days have passed since the second dose;

`Note: after the immune system as had sufficient time (14 days) to respond to the vaccine, a report of
