Inclusion Criteria, Step 2: Continuation for Cohort 1 and Cohort 2a to injection phase

All participants enrolled in Cohort 1 or Cohort 2a will be assessed for eligibility to progress from the oral lead-in phase (Step 1) to the injection phase (Step 2), primarily based on the safety assessments from the Step 1 Week 4a study visit. Clinical assessments conducted prior to administering the first injection at the Week 4b visit will also be used to confirm eligibility to receive the injectable study product.

All of the following criteria must be met in order for a participant enrolled in Cohort 1 or Cohort 2a to be included in Step 2

• Currently enrolled as a participant in Step 1.

• Has normal, Grade 1, or Grade 2 results from all of the following laboratory test results based upon specimens collected at the Week 4a study visit or from confirmatory repeat testing of Week 4a study visit laboratory tests:

Inclusion Criteria for Parents/Caregivers

Parents/caregivers of participants will be considered for enrollment to complete quantitative behavioral surveys and/or qualitative in-depth interviews (IDIs), as indicated in the SoE. One parent/caregiver per participant should be enrolled to complete all behavioral assessments, including the IDI, when applicable. Informed consent for parent/caregiver enrollment should be obtained at the entry visit, after the child participant's eligibility has been confirmed, and may be completed at a later date, if necessary. However, parent/caregiver consent must occur prior to any study assessments being conducted. The enrolled caregiver may be the different than the parent or legal guardian who provided written permission for the child to participate. If, at any point the enrolled parent/caregiver for a given participant withdraws from the study or is unable to complete remaining study assessments for any reason, they may be replaced.

Caregivers must meet the following criteria to be eligible to enroll in IMPAACT 2036:

• 18 years of age or older
• Able and willing to provide written informed consent consistent with site IRB/EC policies and procedures
• Caregiver, defined as a biological parent, legal guardian, or other person who provides significant emotional, psychological, and/or physical care to a child enrolled in IMPAACT 2036, based on self-report

Exclusion Criteria, Step 1: Entry for Cohort 1, Cohort 2a, and Cohort 2b

Potential participants must be excluded from the study if any of the conditions specified below are identified during the screening period (i.e., within 28 days prior to study entry). The screening period begins when parental permission and informed assent (if applicable) are obtained and ends immediately prior to enrollment. For criteria involving a potential participant's medical history, it is expected that each exclusionary condition will be assessed at screening and subsequently reviewed and confirmed on the day of study entry, prior to enrollment. In these criteria, "at entry" is used to refer to the day of enrollment in the study

Exclusion Criteria for Parents/Caregivers

• Any condition or social circumstance situation that, in the opinion of the IoR or designee, would make study participation unsafe for the caregiver or the child study participant, complicate interpretation of study outcome data, or otherwise interfere with achieving the study objectives.
