  1. AEs, SAEs, and AESIs

    Timeframe: Safety data were recorded from the time of the first IMP administration throughout the study for an average safety follow up time of 48.85 weeks. This was shorter than the planned one of 105 weeks due to FDA's request to halt dosing.

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD7442

  2. ADA in Serum Responses

    Timeframe: Serum ADA were assessed through the treatment period at the specific timepoints: baseline, 29, 92, 121 (300mg Q3M arm only), 183, 212, 274, 365, 456 days or early discontinuation visit after the first IMP administration.

    To evaluate the immunogenicity of AZD7442

  1. Serum AZD7442 Concentrations

    Timeframe: Serum PK was assessed through the treatment period at the specific timepoints: day 1 post-dose (600mg Q6M arm only), 3, 11, 29, 92, 121 (300mg Q3M arm only), 183, 212, 274, 365 days or early discontinuation visit after the first IMP administration.

    To evaluate the PK of AZD7442 in serum

  2. Changes From Baseline in GMTs Values in SARSCoV- 2 nAbs (Wild-type Assay)

    Timeframe: SARSCoV-2 nAbs (Wild Type Assay) were assessed through the treatment period at these specific timepoints: baseline, 29, 92, 121 (300mg Q3M arm only), 183, 212, 274, 365 days or early termination visit after the first IMP administration.

    To determine anti severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 neutralizing antibodies (anti-SARS-CoV 2 nAb) levels in serum after administration of AZD7442

  3. Changes From Baseline in GMTs in SARSCoV- 2 nAbs (Pseudo Neutralization Assay)

    Timeframe: SARSCoV-2 nAbs (Pseudo Neutralization Assay) were assessed through the study at these specific timepoints: baseline, 29, 92, 121 (300mg Q3M arm only), 183, 212, 274, 365 days or early termination visit after the first IMP administration.

    To determine anti severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 neutralizing antibodies (anti-SARS-CoV 2 nAb) levels in serum after administration of AZD7442

  4. Changes From Baseline in GMFRs Values in SARSCoV- 2 nAbs (Wild-type Assay)

    Timeframe: SARSCoV-2 nAbs (Wild Type Assay) were assessed through the treatment period at these specific timepoints: baseline, 29, 92, 121 (300mg Q3M arm only), 183, 212, 274, 365 days or early termination visit after the first IMP administration.

    To determine anti severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 neutralizing antibodies (anti-SARS-CoV 2 nAb) levels in serum after administration of AZD7442

  5. Changes From Baseline in GMFRs Values in SARSCoV- 2 nAbs (Pseudo Neutralization Assay)

    Timeframe: SARSCoV-2 nAbs (Pseudo Neutralization Assay) were assessed through the study at these specific timepoints: baseline, 29, 92, 121 (300mg Q3M arm only), 183, 212, 274, 365 days or early termination visit after the first IMP administration.

    To determine anti severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 neutralizing antibodies (anti-SARS-CoV 2 nAb) levels in serum after administration of AZD7442

1. Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Appendix A which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol. For pediatric participants: informed assent is to be provided by the participant; informed consent must be provided by the participant's legal guardian 2. Ensure that participants who are considered by the Investigator clinically unable to consent at screening and who are entered into the study by the consent of a legally acceptable representative show evidence of assent, as applicable in accordance with local regulations.

3. Participant must be an adult (≥ 18 years of age) or pediatric individual (≥ 12 to < 18 years of age weighing ≥ 40 kg) at the time of signing the ICF or assent (for pediatric participants).

4. Individuals with medical conditions or treatments that may result in moderate to severe immune compromise or an inadequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination include but are not limited to:

  1. Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies.

  2. Receipt of solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy.

  3. Receipt of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy).

  4. Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (eg, DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome).

  5. Advanced or untreated HIV infection (people with HIV and history of CD4 cellcounts < 200/mm3, history of an AIDS-defining illness without immune reconstitution, or clinical manifestations of symptomatic HIV).

  6. Active treatment with systemic high-dose corticosteroids (ie, ≥ 20 mg prednisone or equivalent per day when administered for ≥ 2 weeks), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor necrosis factor blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory (eg, B-cell depleting agents).

    5 Documented negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test from an NP specimen collected ≤ 3 days prior to Day 1 or a negative SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test from an NP specimen at screening.

  1. Any clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19, eg, fever, dry cough, dyspnea, sore throat, fatigue for ≥ 5 days or confirmed COVID-19 infection by appropriate laboratory test within 28 days prior to screening. Prior COVID-19 infection is not an exclusion. 2. History or current hospitalization for worsening disease during the one month prior to screening, with no change in condition at the time of study enrollment as judged by the Investigator. 3.

Any other significant disease, disorder, or finding that may significantly increase the risk to the participant because of participation in the study, affect the ability of the participant to participate in the study, or impair interpretation of the study data 8. Any co-morbidity requiring surgery within 7 days prior to study entry, or that is considered life-threatening in the opinion of the Investigator within 30 days prior to study entry.

    9 Any prior receipt of investigational or licensed mAb or other biologic indicated for the prevention or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 within 5 half-lives prior to screening or expected administration immediately after enrollment.

    10 Have received a COVID-19 vaccination ≤ 14 days before Day 1 or plan to receive a COVID-19 vaccination ≤ 14 days after Day 1 (Such participants can subsequently be included in the study once they have reached > 14 days after their last dose of vaccine).

    12 Receipt of any IMP in the preceding 90 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, or expected receipt of IMP during the period of study follow-up, or concurrent participation in another interventional study.

    13 Judgment by the Investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.

    14 For women only - currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breastfeeding.
