Abstract:

The objective of a phase II study in oncology is to evaluate whether an agent, at the doses determined by phase I trials, is worth of further investigation in phase III. Since several maximum tolerated doses corresponding to different dosing schedules may arise from phase I trials, a randomized selection design in phase II is more popular than a single arm design. Because progression-free rate is more related to the clinical endpoint(s) in phase III, a phase II design based on multiple outcomes is more reliable than a design based on the single conventional endpoint response rate. These concerns motivate the proposal and application of a two-stage randomized multinomial selection design in phase II oncology trials.
