Vaccine Efficacy Trials for Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever

This webinar will explore the feasibility of conducting a phase III vaccine trial for a CCHFV-specific vaccine. Through mathematical models, we will estimate key trial design components such as sample size and time to attain the necessary number of trial endpoints in three different endemic settings: Afghanistan, South Africa, and Turkey.
