Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event
Up to 4 years after first dose of vaccine

An adverse event is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event
Up to 6 months after first dose of vaccine

This is a measure of the number of participants who discontinued study drug because of an adverse event. An adverse event is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Amyloid Beta (Aβ) Peptide 1-40 Specific Antibodies at Month 7
Month 7

The level of Aβ Peptide 1-40 specific antibodies was measured as the geometric mean titer (GMT) one month after the third dose (Month 7) of vaccine using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Mean Fold Change From Baseline in GMT of Aβ Peptide 1-40 Specific Antibodies
Baseline and Month 7

The Aβ Peptide 1-40 specific immunogenicity of 3-dose regimen of V950 was measured one month after the third dose (Month 7) of vaccine by the GMT fold change of Aβ 1-40 specific antibodies compared to Baseline (Month 0) using ELISA.
