Abstract:

This talk will present three Bayesian clinical trial designs in which outcome adaptive decisions are made within predefined prognostic subgroups. The first is a randomized trial comparing nutritional prehabilitation to standard of care for controlling post-operative morbidity (POM) following chemoradiation and esophageal resection. The design accounts for two prognostic subgroups while assuming a robust generalization of proportional odds model for POM as a function of treatment and subgroup. The second is a phase I design to optimize dose based on time to toxicity that generalizes the time-to-event continual reassessment method, while allowing adaptive combination of subgroups having similar dose-toxicity profiles. The third is a phase I-II trial of natural killer cells for advanced hematologic malignancies that does dose optimization and sequential safety monitoring within six prognostic subgroups, based on five time-to-event outcomes. All designs are shown by simulation to be greatly superior to their conventional comparators.
