Abstract:

Event rates are used to assess efficacy and safety in clinical trials. An event rate is defined as a ratio of the number of subjects who had at least one event during a specified period of time divided by the total number of subjects at risk of the event during a specified period of time. Identifying the number of subjects at risk can be complex in an ongoing open enrollment trial, especially when subjects have not been followed to the time-point of interest. We will explore different scenarios to attempt to determine the most appropriate length of follow-up subjects need to experience before they can be considered at risk for the event.
