Bayesian methods in clinical trials: a Bayesian analysis of ECOG trials E1684 and E1690
BACKGROUND E1684 was the pivotal adjuvant melanoma trial for establishment of high-dose interferon (IFN) as effective therapy of high-risk melanoma patients. E1690 was an intriguing effort to corroborate E1684, and the differences between the outcomes of these trials have embroiled the field in controversy over the past several years. The analyses of E1684 and E1690 were carried out separately ...
متن کاملA mixed Bayesian/Frequentist approach in sample size determination problem for clinical trials
In this paper we introduce a stochastic optimization method based ona mixed Bayesian/frequentist approach to a sample size determinationproblem in a clinical trial. The data are assumed to come from a nor-mal distribution for which both the mean and the variance are unknown.In contrast to the usual Bayesian decision theoretic methodology, whichassumes a single decision maker, our method recogni...
متن کاملBayesian clinical trials in action.
Although the frequentist paradigm has been the predominant approach to clinical trial design since the 1940s, it has several notable limitations. Advancements in computational algorithms and computer hardware have greatly enhanced the alternative Bayesian paradigm. Compared with its frequentist counterpart, the Bayesian framework has several unique advantages, and its incorporation into clinica...
متن کاملBayesian Adaptive Methods for Clinical Trials of Targeted Agents
This chapter presents general Bayesian concepts and some specific designs for human clinical trials of targeted agents. The designs employ decision rules that use each patient’s protein or gene expression biomarkers, and possibly conventional prognostic variables, to choose an individualized treatment regime that may include one or several targeted agents. The Bayesian rules are sequentially ad...
متن کاملPractical Bayesian adaptive randomisation in clinical trials.
While randomisation is the established method for obtaining scientifically valid treatment comparisons in clinical trials, it sometimes is at odds with what physicians feel is good medical practice. If a physician favours one treatment over another based on personal experience or published data, it may be more appropriate ethically for that physician to use the favoured treatment, rather than e...
