This monograph offers well-founded training and expertise on the
statistical analysis of data from clinical vaccine trials, i.e.,
immunogenicity and vaccine field efficacy studies. The book's scope
is practical rather than theoretical. It opens with two
introductory chapters on the immunology of vaccines to provide
readers with the necessary background knowledge. It then continues
with an in-depth exploration of the statistical methodology. Many
real-life examples and SAS codes are presented, making application
of the methods straightforward. Topics discussed include maximum
likelihood estimation for censored antibody titers, ANCOVA for
antibody values, analysis of equivalence and non-inferiority
immunogenicity trial data, analysis of data from vaccine field
efficacy trials (including data from studies with recurrent
infection data), fitting protection curves to data of challenge or
field efficacy studies, and the analysis of vaccine safety data.
