Optimizing Trial Designs for Targeted Therapies
An important objective in the development of targeted therapies is to identify the populations where the treatment under consideration has positive benefit risk balance. We consider pivotal clinical trials, where the efficacy of a treatment is tested in an overall population and/or in a pre-specified subpopulation. Based on a decision theoretic framework we derive optimized trial designs by max...
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 testing biomarker-based personalized therapies.
BACKGROUND Advances in molecular therapeutics in the past decade have opened up new possibilities for treating cancer patients with personalized therapies, using biomarkers to determine which treatments are most likely to benefit them, but there are difficulties and unresolved issues in the development and validation of biomarker-based personalized therapies. We develop a new clinical trial des...
متن کامل[New trial designs and potential therapies for pulmonary artery hypertension].
A greater understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) has led to significant advances, but the disease remains fatal. Treatment options are neither universally available nor always effective, underscoring the need for development of novel therapies and therapeutic strategies. Clinical trials to date have provided evidence of effica...
متن کاملPancreatic cancer: optimizing treatment options, new, and emerging targeted therapies
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the US and is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the next decade. Despite 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin with irinotecan and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel significantly improving outcomes for metastatic cancer, refractory disease still poses significant challenges. Difficul...
