Abstract:

Using biomarkers to drive regulatory decisions in tumor monitoring studies has gained a lot of interest recently. Tumor monitoring using in vitro diagnostic test is to assess the changes in disease status by serial measurements as an aid in the detection of progression or recurrent disease in patients following primary treatment. There are some important statistical issues in evaluating the biomarkers used for monitoring. I will discuss statistical issues as well as regulatory issues associated with study designs in tumor monitoring studies. I will present examples and also would like to address some regulatory concerns.
