报告简介:
In the early phase development of molecularly targeted agents (MTAs), it is common to expect that an MTA will be more effective for a specific biomarker subgroup, such as marker-positive patients. However, there may not be sufficient evidence to prove that the MTA is ineffective for the other subgroup, namely, marker-negative patients. Once it is established that marker-positive patients benefit from the treatment, it becomes clinically important to determine whether this benefit also extends to marker-negative patients. To address this practical issue in phase II clinical trials, we propose a series of adaptive biomarker-guided designs. These designs can be implemented with or without the inclusion of a randomized control treatment. The proposed designs initially evaluate the treatment effect in marker-positive patients and subsequently assess marker-negative patients if necessary. Multiple interim analyses are incorporated to allow early termination of the trial if the MTA is found to be either futile or superior. Simulation studies indicate that the proposed adaptive designs perform well and are ethically more favorable compared to commonly used designs.
