Abstract:

A traditional phase I oncology trial is designed under the assumption that a higher dose is more efficacious and attempts to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). However, such a paradigm does not work well for newer generation of drugs. In this presentation, we propose a modification of the accelerated titration design, originally proposed by Simon R (JNCI 1997), to accommodate both toxicity and biological activity. The proposed design has an accelerated phase and the standard 3+3 phase, but the escalation rule based on observed toxicity and biological activity. It has appropriate operating characteristics under various dose response functions. We will illustrate an application of this design to a phase I trial of Sulforaphane in men with rising PSA after the primary therapy for prostate cancer.
