Biomarker informed adaptive clinical trial designs
In adaptive design clinical trials, an endpoint at the final analysis that takes a long time to observe is not feasible to be used for making decisions at the interim analysis. For example, overall survival (OS) in oncology trials usually cannot be used to make interim decisions. However, biomarkers correlated to the final clinical endpoint can be used. Hence, considerable interest has been dra...
متن کاملClinical trial designs for targeted agents.
With an increasing number of targeted agents available for testing, clinical trials must be rationally designed based on sound knowledge of the molecular mechanisms linking target and disease, fortified by strong preclinical data demonstrating how this relationship is modified by the targeted agent. Patients and resources are precious and should be expended judiciously on clinical trials that a...
متن کاملClinical trial designs for therapeutic cancer vaccines.
Therapeutic cancer vaccines have characteristics that require a new paradigm for phase I and phase II clinical development. Effective development plans may take advantage of some of the following observations: Dose ranging safety trials are not appropriate for many cancer vaccines. Dose ranging trials to establish an optimal biologic dose are often not practical. We have presented an efficient ...
متن کاملNonconventional clinical trial designs: approaches to provide more precise estimates of treatment effects with a smaller sample size, but at a cost.
Statistical sciences have recently made advancements that allow improved precision or reduced sample size in clinical research studies. Herein, we review 4 of the more promising: (1) improvements in approaches for dose selection trials, (2) approaches for sample size adjustment, (3) selection of study end point and associated statistical methods, and (4) frequentist versus Bayesian statistical ...
متن کاملAn R Package for Simulation Experiments Evaluating Clinical Trial Designs
This paper presents an open-source application for evaluating competing clinical trial (CT) designs using simulations. The S4 system of classes and methods is utilized. Using object-oriented programming provides extensibility through careful, clear interface specification; using R, an open-source widely-used statistical language, makes the application extendible by the people who design CTs: bi...
