Using it with conventional needle and syringe will not lead to optimal immunogenicity response and will affect the efficacy of the vaccine. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications ZYCOV-D® is indicated for active immunisation to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARSCoV-2 in individuals 12 years of age and older when given in two separate doses of 3mg (0.3ml) each to be given at an interval of 28 days each (day 0, day 28). ZYCOV-D® is approved for restricted use in emergency situation of COVID-19. Page 1 of 134.2 Posology and method of administration This vaccination schedule consists of 2 separate doses to be given at an interval of 28 days each (day 0 and day 28). Each dose consists of three shots of 0.1ml each given by needle free injector (Pharmajet Tropis device) via intradermal route at three separate sites (2 shots on one arm (recommended distance between two shots is at least 5 cms) and 1 shot on other arm). Method of Administration: ZYCOV-D® has to be given by intradermal route only using needle free injector (Pharmajet Tropis device). Kindly refer Medication Guide for step by step guidance on Method of Administration. 4.3 Contraindications ZYCOV-D® is contraindicated in individuals known to have hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use Hypersensitivity As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment and supervision should always be readily available in case of an anaphylactic event following the administration of the vaccine. Concurrent Illness As with other vaccines, administration of ZYCOV-D® should be postponed in individuals suffering from an acute severe febrile illness. However, the presence of a minor infection, such as cold, and/or low-grade fever should not delay vaccination. Immunocompromised individuals It is not known whether individuals with impaired immune responsiveness, including individuals receiving immunosuppressant therapy, will elicit the same response as immunocompetent individuals to the vaccine regimen. Immunocompromised individuals may have relatively weaker immune response to the vaccine regimen. Page 2 of 13Duration and level of protection The duration of protection has not yet been established. As with any vaccine, vaccination with ZYCOV-D® may not protect all vaccine recipients. Interchangeability No data are available on the use of ZYCOV-D® in persons that have previously received partial / complete vaccine series with another COVID-19 vaccine. 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction No interaction studies have been performed. Concomitant administration of ZYCOV-D® with other vaccines has not been studied. 4.6 Special Population Elderly Population: Efficacy and safety data are currently limited in individuals ≥ 60 years of age. No dosage adjustment is required in elderly individuals ≥ 60 years of age. Paediatric Population: Efficacy and safety data are currently limited in adolescents aged 12 to <18 years. The safety and efficacy of ZYCOV-D® in children (aged <12 years old) has not yet been established. Fertility There is no clinical data on the effect of ZYCOV-D® on fertility. Pregnancy The safety and efficacy of ZYCOV-D® in pregnancy has not been established.

Page 8 of 134.9 Overdose Experience of overdose is limited. There is no specific treatment for an overdose with ZYCOV-D® In the event of an overdose, the individual should be monitored and provided with symptomatic treatment as appropriate. 5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES 5.1 Mechanism of Action The plasmid construct of ZYCOV-D® carrying the spike-S gene of interest enters host cells, where it remains in the nucleus as an episome; without getting integrated into the host cell DNA. Thus, using the host cell’s protein translation machinery, the inserted cloned gene in the episome will direct the synthesis of the antigen it encodes. The protein produced by plasmid- transfected cells is likely to be expressed within the cell and folded in its native conformation. Further the signal peptide prompts cells to translocate the protein, usually to the cellular membrane. The antigen is recognized by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and further induces antibodies including neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune response through major histocompatibility complex (MHC). 5.2 Pharmacodynamics properties Immunogenicity Data 28 days after last dose from Phase II and Phase III Clinical Trials (2mg- 3dose regimen with Pharmajet): Phase II Clinical Trial: Parameter Data Seroconversion rate based on IgG* (%) 91.28% Seroconversion rate based on Neutralizing Antibody 88.89% response^ (%) GMT based on Neutralizing Antibody response^ 131.32 (63.50, 271.58)$ GMFR based on Neutralizing Antibody response^ 22.56 (10.57, 48.16) $ *by S1 antigen ELISA ^Wild type virus neutralization assay (PRNT ) 50 $ data presented as Geometric Mean (95% CI) Page 9 of 13Phase III Clinical Trial: Parameter Data Seroconversion rate based on IgG* (%) 93.33% GMT based on IgG* 952.67 (707.9, 1282.0) $ GMFR based on IgG* 136.09 (101.11, 183.1) $ *by S1 antigen ELISA $ data presented as Geometric Mean (95% CI) Interim Efficacy Data from Phase III Clinical Trial (2mg-3dose regimen with Pharmajet): A total of 27703 subjects were enrolled in the Phase III study till interim analysis. The interim primary efficacy analysis was based on the Per-Protocol analysis, which consisted of all participants with negative baseline SARS-CoV-2 status (i.e., negative RT-PCR for SARS- CoV-2) and who had received 3 doses of investigational product. Total of 12350 subjects who had completed 84±3 days in vaccine group and total 12320 subjects who had completed 84±3 days in placebo group were considered for analysis. Out of 81 symptomatic RT-PCR positive COVID-19 cases considered for interim analysis, 61 were in placebo group and 20 were in the vaccine (ZYCOV-D®) group. On the basis of calculation, ZYCOV-D® vaccine efficacy is 66.6% (95% CI: 47.6 to 80.7).

Preclinical safety data 6.1 Animal Pharmacology: The immunogenicity potential of ZYCOV-D® has been evaluated in mice, guinea pig and rabbit models by intradermal route at varying dose levels. Immunogenicity studies in animals demonstrated that the candidate DNA vaccine induces robust antibody response including neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and also provided Th-1 response as evidenced by elevated IFN-γ levels. In animal studies primary antibody response starts mounting in serum two weeks after two doses and reaches peak two weeks after third immunization. The serum IgG levels against spike antigen in mice were maintained even after three months post last dosing suggesting a long-term immune response generated by the DNA vaccine candidate. Protective efficacy of ZYCOV-D® was also evaluated in Rhesus Macaques. We assessed the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of two formulations (1mg and 2mg) of ZYCOV-D® administered either through Needle Free Injection System (NFIS) and syringe needle (intradermal) with three dose vaccine regimens. ZYCOV-D® demonstrated good immunogenicity as can be seen by the analysis of SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG (S1), Neutralizing Antibody (Nab) titres, percentage lymphocytes and cytokines response during immunization and after virus challenge. The viral clearance in nasal swab (NS), throat swab (TS), and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in animals receiving ZYCOV-D® was seen demonstrating protective efficacy. 6.2 Animal Toxicology Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on a conventional study of repeat dose toxicity. Animal studies evaluating potential toxicity to reproduction and development have not yet been completed. 28-day repeat dose preclinical toxicology (PCT) studies were conducted in Wistar rats and New Zealand white rabbits and the vaccine was found to be safe and well-tolerated. Indeed, no treatment related adverse effects and behavioral changes were observed in animals during the studies. Further, histopathological examination reveals no changes of toxicological significance at high dose of 3mg (1.5 times the intended single human dose) and 6mg (3 times the intended single human dose) in rats and rabbits respectively. Page 11 of 137. Description ZYCOV-D® is a DNA based vaccine for prevention of COVID-19. It comprises of a DNA plasmid vector carrying full length spike (S) gene region expressing SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein along with gene coding for signal peptide. The spike gene region was selected from submitted Wuhan Hu-1 isolate sequence (Genebank Accession No. MN908947.3). The S protein of the virus includes the receptor binding domain (RBD), responsible for binding to the human angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptor, which mediates the entry of virus inside the cell. The DNA plasmid construct was transformed into E. coli cells for large scale production. 8.
