Evaluating the Long-Term Efficacy of COVID-19 Vaccines
Abstract Large-scale deployment of safe and durably effective vaccines can curtail the COVID-19 pandemic.1−3However, the high vaccine efficacy (VE) reported by ongoing phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials is based on a median follow-up time of only about two months4−5and thus does not pertain to long-term efficacy. To evaluate the duration of protection while allowing trial participants timely access to efficacious vaccine, investigators can sequentially cross participants over from the placebo arm to the vaccine arm according to priority groups. Here, we show how to estimate potentially time-varying placebo-controlled VE in this type of staggered vaccination of participants. In addition, we compare the performance of blinded and unblinded crossover designs in estimating long-term VE.Authors’ Information Dan-Yu Lin, Ph.D., is Dennis Gillings Distinguished Professor of Biostatistics, and Donglin Zeng, Ph.D., is Professor of Biostatistics, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7420, USA.

Gilbert, Ph.D., is Member, Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division, Fred Hutch, Seattle, WA 98109-1024, USA.Summary We show how to estimate the potentially waning long-term efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines using data from randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials with staggered enrollment of participants and sequential crossover of placebo recipients..
