Abstract:

The most prominent examples of modern personalized medicine are genetic/genomic tests designed to guide treatment choices. Some are widely recognized as useful, such as testing for human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2, also referred to as HER2/neu) to select patients with breast cancer who will benefit from trastuzumab. A new trend in personalized medicine is to bridge from a laboratory developed test (LDT) to a Market ready test (MRT) for detecting patient marker status, even though a MRT wasn't considered in the original Phase III clinical trial of the drug. In this talk, we will discuss design issues and challenges in bridging studies.
