Distributions of predicted serum ID50 titers (PT50s) against viruses acquired by placebo recipients, within each virus neutralization IC50 sensitivity category. Approach 2 of Huang et al.11 was used to calculate PT50 against a given virus by dividing the population PK model-predicted VRC01 serum concentration by the IC80 of the VRC01 drug product against the virus. The distributions are for PT50s of the 82 non-cases in the case-control cohort calculated at each day over the 80-week follow-up against each of the viruses acquired by placebo recipients. On the y-axis, each filled black dot is a point estimate of prevention efficacy against viruses in the specified sensitivity category and the vertical lines are 95% confidence interval estimates as previously reported6. The downward arrowhead indicates a value below the y-axis lower limit. On the x-axis, each filled black dot is the median PT50 against viruses acquired by placebo recipients, within each virus neutralization IC50 sensitivity category; the horizontal rectangles extend through the interquartile range and on each side of the boxplot is a kernel density estimation of the distribution shape of the PT50.
