A model-based approach to sample size estimation in recent onset type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: The area under the curve C-peptide following a 2-h mixed meal tolerance test from 498 individuals enrolled on five prior TrialNet studies of recent onset type 1 diabetes from baseline to 12 months after enrolment were modelled to produce estimates of its rate of loss and variance.Age at diagnosis and baseline C-peptide were found to be significant predictors, and adjusting for these in an ANCOVA resulted in estimates with lower variance.Using these results as planning parameters for new studies results in a nearly 50% reduction in the target sample size. The modelling also produces an expected C-peptide that can be used in observed versus expected calculations to estimate the presumption of benefit in ongoing trials.

Peripheral Blood Monocyte Gene Expression in Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Novel biomarkers of disease progression after type 1 diabetes onset are needed. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We profiled peripheral blood (PB) monocyte gene expression in 6 healthy subjects and 16 children with type 1 diabetes diagnosed ~3 months previously, and analyzed clinical features from diagnosis to 1 year. RESULTS: Monocyte expression profiles clustered into two distinct subgroups, representing mild and severe deviation from healthy controls, along the same continuum. Patients with strongly divergent monocyte gene expression had significantly higher insulin dose-adjusted HbA1c levels during the first year, compared to patients with mild deviation. The diabetes-associated expression signature identified multiple perturbations in pathways controlling cellular metabolism and survival, including endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress (e.g. induction of HIF1A, DDIT3, DDIT4 and GRP78). qPCR quantitation of a 9-gene panel correlated with glycaemic control in 12 additional recent-onset patients. The qPCR signature was also detected in PB from healthy first-degree relatives. CONCLUSIONS: A PB gene expression signature correlates with glycaemic control in the first year after diabetes diagnosis, and is present in at-risk subjects. These findings implicate monocyte phenotype as a candidate biomarker for disease progression pre- and post-onset, and systemic stresses as contributors to innate immune function in type 1 diabetes. CD14+ monocytes from a total of 16 children with recent-onset type 1 diabetes and 6 adult healthy controls were profiled in 2 independent microarrays.

Sample Size Estimation for Non-Inferiority Trials: Frequentist Approach versus Decision Theory Approach.

Project description:BackgroundNon-inferiority trials are performed when the main therapeutic effect of the new therapy is expected to be not unacceptably worse than that of the standard therapy, and the new therapy is expected to have advantages over the standard therapy in costs or other (health) consequences. These advantages however are not included in the classic frequentist approach of sample size calculation for non-inferiority trials. In contrast, the decision theory approach of sample size calculation does include these factors. The objective of this study is to compare the conceptual and practical aspects of the frequentist approach and decision theory approach of sample size calculation for non-inferiority trials, thereby demonstrating that the decision theory approach is more appropriate for sample size calculation of non-inferiority trials.MethodsThe frequentist approach and decision theory approach of sample size calculation for non-inferiority trials are compared and applied to a case of a non-inferiority trial on individually tailored duration of elastic compression stocking therapy compared to two years elastic compression stocking therapy for the prevention of post thrombotic syndrome after deep vein thrombosis.ResultsThe two approaches differ substantially in conceptual background, analytical approach, and input requirements. The sample size calculated according to the frequentist approach yielded 788 patients, using a power of 80% and a one-sided significance level of 5%. The decision theory approach indicated that the optimal sample size was 500 patients, with a net value of €92 million.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates and explains the differences between the classic frequentist approach and the decision theory approach of sample size calculation for non-inferiority trials. We argue that the decision theory approach of sample size estimation is most suitable for sample size calculation of non-inferiority trials.

RnaSeqSampleSize: real data based sample size estimation for RNA sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundOne of the most important and often neglected components of a successful RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiment is sample size estimation. A few negative binomial model-based methods have been developed to estimate sample size based on the parameters of a single gene. However, thousands of genes are quantified and tested for differential expression simultaneously in RNA-Seq experiments. Thus, additional issues should be carefully addressed, including the false discovery rate for multiple statistic tests, widely distributed read counts and dispersions for different genes.ResultsTo solve these issues, we developed a sample size and power estimation method named RnaSeqSampleSize, based on the distributions of gene average read counts and dispersions estimated from real RNA-seq data. Datasets from previous, similar experiments such as the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) can be used as a point of reference. Read counts and their dispersions were estimated from the reference's distribution; using that information, we estimated and summarized the power and sample size. RnaSeqSampleSize is implemented in R language and can be installed from Bioconductor website. A user friendly web graphic interface is provided at http://cqs.mc.vanderbilt.edu/shiny/RnaSeqSampleSize/ .ConclusionsRnaSeqSampleSize provides a convenient and powerful way for power and sample size estimation for an RNAseq experiment. It is also equipped with several unique features, including estimation for interested genes or pathway, power curve visualization, and parameter optimization.

Inflammatory pathways in peripheral blood expression profile of recent-onset type 1 diabetes

Project description:Changes in innate and adaptive immunity occurring in and around pancreatic islets can also be observed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of T1D patients in Caucasians. The aim of our study was to investigate whether gene expression patterns of PBMC could complement islet autoantibodies for T1D pathogenic mechanisms in the higlty admixed Brazilian population. Methods: We assessed global gene expression in PBMC from two groups mached for age, sex and BMI: The T1D group with 20 patients with recent-onset T1D (≤ 6 months from diagnosis, in a time when the autoimmune process is still highly active), testing positive for one or more islet autoantibodies and 20 islet autoantibody-negative healthy controls (Control group). Results: we identified 474 differentially expressed genes between groups. The most expressed genes in T1D group were mainly related to host defense, with inflammatory and anti-bacterial/antiviral effects ( LFT, DEFA4, DEFA1, CTSG, KCNMA1) as well as to cell cycle progression. Several of the downregulated genes in T1D influenced cellular repair, control of inflammation and immune tolerance. They were related to T helper 2 pathway, induction of FOXP3 expression (AREG) and immune tolerance (SMAD6). Conclusion: Our analysis suggested the activation of cell cycle/proliferation, anti-infectious and inflammatory pathways, indicating immune activation, whereas immunoregulatory pathways were downregulated in PBMC from recent-onset T1D patients. These alterations were elicited by a new genetic profile

Estimation after blinded sample size reassessment.

Project description:Blinded sample size reassessment is a popular means to control the power in clinical trials if no reliable information on nuisance parameters is available in the planning phase. We investigate how sample size reassessment based on blinded interim data affects the properties of point estimates and confidence intervals for parallel group superiority trials comparing the means of a normal endpoint. We evaluate the properties of two standard reassessment rules that are based on the sample size formula of the z-test, derive the worst case reassessment rule that maximizes the absolute mean bias and obtain an upper bound for the mean bias of the treatment effect estimate.

Power analysis and sample size estimation for sequence-based association studies.

Project description:MotivationStatistical methods have been developed to test for complex trait rare variant (RV) associations, in which variants are aggregated across a region, which is typically a gene. Power analysis and sample size estimation for sequence-based RV association studies are challenging because of the necessity to realistically model the underlying allelic architecture of complex diseases within a suitable analytical framework to assess the performance of a variety of RV association methods in an unbiased manner.SummaryWe developed SEQPower, a software package to perform statistical power analysis for sequence-based association data under a variety of genetic variant and disease phenotype models. It aids epidemiologists in determining the best study design, sample size and statistical tests for sequence-based association studies. It also provides biostatisticians with a platform to fairly compare RV association methods and to validate and assess novel association tests.Availability and implementationThe SEQPower program, source code, multi-platform executables, documentation, list of association tests, examples and tutorials are available at http://bioinformatics.org/spower.

The proteomic landscape of patient-derived CD4+ T cells in recent-onset type 1 diabetes

Project description:The pathophysiology underlying the autoimmune disease type 1 diabetes (T1D) is poorly understood. Obtaining an accurate proteomic profile of the T helper cell population is essential for understanding the pathogenesis of T1D. Here, we performed in-depth proteomic profiling of peripheral CD4+ T cells in a pediatric cohort in order to identify cellular signatures associated with the onset of T1D. Using only 250,000 CD4+ T cells per patient, isolated from biobanked PBMC samples, we identified nearly 6,000 proteins using deep-proteome profiling with LC-MS/MS data-independent acquisition. Our analysis revealed an inflammatory signature in patients with T1D; this signature is characterized by circulating mediators of neutrophils, platelets, and the complement system. This signature likely reflects the inflammatory extracellular milieu, suggesting that activation of the innate immune system plays an important role in disease onset. Our results emphasize the potential value of using high-resolution LC-MS/MS to investigate limited quantities of biobanked samples in order to identify disease-relevant proteomic patterns. The deposited data set is the shotgun proteomic part of our two-phase study.

Sample Size Estimation in Veterinary Epidemiologic Research.

Project description:In the design of intervention and observational epidemiological studies sample size calculations are used to provide estimates of the minimum number of observations that need to be made to ensure that the stated objectives of a study are met. Justification of the number of subjects enrolled into a study and details of the assumptions and methodologies used to derive sample size estimates are now a mandatory component of grant application processes by funding agencies. Studies with insufficient numbers of study subjects run the risk of failing to identify differences among treatment or exposure groups when differences do, in fact, exist. Selection of a number of study subjects greater than that actually required results in a wastage of time and resources. In contrast to human epidemiological research, individual study subjects in a veterinary setting are almost always aggregated into hierarchical groups and, for this reason, sample size estimates calculated using formulae that assume data independence are not appropriate. This paper provides an overview of the reasons researchers might need to calculate an appropriate sample size in veterinary epidemiology and a summary of sample size calculation methods. Two approaches are presented for dealing with lack of data independence when calculating sample sizes: (1) inflation of crude sample size estimates using a design effect; and (2) simulation-based methods. The advantage of simulation methods is that appropriate sample sizes can be estimated for complex study designs for which formula-based methods are not available. A description of the methodological approach for simulation is described and a worked example provided.
