Abstract:

The goal of dose-finding for phase I oncology trials is the determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The standard method to find the MTD is the so-called '3+3' design. Many new methods have been proposed which hope to estimate the true MTD more precisely than '3+3' design while using less patients. Among them, the continual reassessment method (CRM) has gained popularity since it was proposed. In this presentation, we will compare '3+3' design and its modification with CRM and its modification by simulation.
