Abstract:

We will discuss the use of Bayesian methods in the design of early-phase clinical trials that are designed to find a dose that is safe and/or effective in the treatment of cancer. We will discuss the need for informative prior distributions and how calibration of the prior is necessary for a successful design. We will also cover the multitude of variations that now exist for Phase I designs, including designs for two-agent combinations, dose-schedule finding, incorporating multiple outcomes, and accounting for missing data.
