Abstract:

There has been a great deal of interest in the use of biomarkers to drive regulatory decision for patients with clinical symptoms/diseases. Targeted therapies are often tied to a particular biomarker but how that marker is assessed using a diagnostic device can vary considerably. It is unclear how one then can tie biomarker performance to what counts, what it predicts in terms of survival endpoints for a patient. I will consider different scenarios of diagnostic performance from a statistical point. Finally, I would like to address some regulatory concerns.
