Abstract:

The main purpose of a phase I dose-finding study in oncology area is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Bayesian dose-finding approaches have already been proposed for and implemented in oncology area. A Bayesian continual reassessment method (CRM) is a model-based method based on binary toxicity outcome and fixed dose levels. It has shown that CRM works well under the proportional assumption between dose - exposure relationship. However, if dose - exposure relationship is not proportional, e.g., saturation of drug elimination or drug absorption, it may lead to inappropriate estimation results. In this research work, we propose a Bayesian approach to incorporating pharmacokinetic assessment to estimate MTD for a dose-finding trial to develop an anti-cancer agent. Our proposed approach aims to adaptively incorporate pharmacokinetic assessment to improve the MTD determination. We propose an adjustment standardized dose in statistical model according to the latest area under the time-concentration curve assessment. The simulation results of our proposed method compared with standard approaches are very encouraging across a variety of realistic settings.
