The 2-sided 95% CI is calculated using the Miettinen and Nurminen unconditional asymptotic method. The conclusion of non-inferiority (similarity) is based on the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI on the risk difference excluding a decrease equal to or more than the pre-specified criterion (5.0 percentage points for measles, mumps, and rubella or 10.0 percentage points for VZV). This indicates that the difference is statistically significantly less than the pre-specified clinically relevant decrease of 5.0 or 10.0 percentage points in proportions at the 1-sided α = 0.025 level.
The 2-sided 95% CI is based on the natural log-transformed titers and the t-distribution. The conclusion of non-inferiority (similarity) is based on the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI on fold-difference, excluding a decrease of 1.5-fold or more. This indicates that fold difference is statistically significantly less than the pre-specified clinically relevant decrease of 1.5-fold on fold difference at the 1-sided α = 0.025 level.
N = Number of subjects vaccinated in the vaccination group at Dose-1.
n = Number of subjects with seronegative antibody titer at baseline and postvaccination serology contributing to the per-protocol analysis.
Seronegative antibody titer - measles: <255 mIU/mL; mumps: <10 mumps Ab units/mL; rubella: <10 IU/mL; VZV: <1 .25 gpELISA units/mL.
VZV = varicella-zoster virus.
CI = Confidence interval.
