Use of an individual-based model of pneumococcal carriage for planning a randomized trial of a whole-cell vaccine
For encapsulated bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, asymptomatic carriage is more common and longer in duration than disease, and hence is often a more convenient endpoint for clinical trials of vaccines against these bacteria. However, using a carriage endpoint entails specific challenges....
