A cost/benefit analysis of clinical trial designs for COVID-19 vaccine candidates. by Donald A Berry, Scott Berry, Peter Hale, Leah Isakov, Andrew W Lo, Kien Wei Siah, Chi Heem Wong

“…We compare and contrast the expected duration and number of infections and deaths averted among several designs for clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine candidates, including traditional and adaptive randomized clinical trials and human challenge trials. Using epidemiological models calibrated to the current pandemic, we simulate the time course of each clinical trial design for 756 unique combinations of parameters, allowing us to determine which trial design is most effective for a given scenario. …”

Influenza forecasting in human populations: a scoping review. by Jean-Paul Chretien, Dylan George, Jeffrey Shaman, Rohit A Chitale, F Ellis McKenzie

“…Of the 17 studies using epidemiological models, 8 included sensitivity analysis. This review suggests need for use of good practices in influenza forecasting (e.g., sensitivity analysis); direct comparisons of diverse approaches; assessment of model calibration; integration of subjective expert input; operational research in pilot, real-world applications; and improved mutual understanding among modelers and public health officials.…”

Indirect contacts between Danish pig farms – what are the frequencies and risk-reducing measures, and how can they be used in simulation models? by Mette Fertner, Beate Conrady, Anne Sax Røgind, Elisabeth Okholm Nielsen, Anette Boklund

“…Conclusion Since the inclusion of indirect contacts in disease spread models relies on valid data, the present study provided valuable data regarding the frequencies and biosecurity measures of indirect contacts between Danish pig herds, which may be useful in the parametrization of computational epidemiological models.…”
