Abstract:

In many large vaccine efficacy trials where time to event survival design is applied, validating a vaccine immunogenicity biomarker is an important task for future bridging purposes, yet sometimes it is often difficult or even infeasible to obtain immunogenicity measurements from the full cohort. The case-cohort and nested case-control designs have the potential to overcome this limitation due to their flexibility in subsampling. In this talk, we will review and discuss how to apply these case-control and case-cohort methods in vaccine studies. In addition, via simulation under various vaccine efficacy trial scenarios, we will compare the performance of these two subsampling methods and a "hybrid" method, with that from the method utilizing the full cohort.
