After standard investigations for identification of potential triggers for protein-losing enteropathy, we concluded that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccination could have been the most probable underlying trigger. Prompt investigation of new symptoms post-vaccination in high-risk patients is necessary.

With the continuous advancement of medical treatments, there is an increasing demand for clinical trial designs and analyses using cure rate models to accommodate a plateau in the survival curve. This is especially pertinent in oncology, where high proportions of patients, such as those with melanoma, lung cancer, and endometrial cancer, exhibit usual life spans post-cancer detection. A Bayesian clinical trial design methodology for multivariate time-to-event outcomes with cured fractions is developed.
