The Right Dose: From Phase I to Clinical Practice

the optimal dose of ribavirin for chronic hepatitis c: from literature evidence to clinical practice

Principles from clinical trials relevant to clinical practice: Part I.

The first 2 parts of this review discussed lessons learned from cardiovascular clinical trials about the design and interpretation of clinical trials. In the next 2 parts, we will attempt to apply these lessons to decision-making in clinical practice. We undertake this effort with trepidation, recognizing that translating research findings into the care of an individual patient is a frontier th...

Dose Escalation Methods in Phase I Cancer Clinical Trials

Phase I clinical trials are an essential step in the development of anticancer drugs. The main goal of these studies is to establish the recommended dose and/or schedule of new drugs or drug combinations for phase II trials. The guiding principle for dose escalation in phase I trials is to avoid exposing too many patients to subtherapeutic doses while preserving safety and maintaining rapid acc...

Dose escalation with over-dose and under-dose controls in Phase I/II clinical trials.

To save valuable time and resources in new drug development, Phase I/II clinical trials with toxicity control and drug efficacy as dual primary endpoints have become increasingly popular. Escalation with over-dose control (the EWOC) is a Bayesian adaptive Phase I clinical trial design that can accurately estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) level and control the probability of overdosing p...
