Abstract:

The tumor-agnostic paradigm is transforming pharmaceutical research and discovery from standard therapies driven by histological characteristics to novel therapies targeting genetic (bio)markers. Tumor-agnostic therapy is a form of personalized (precision) medicine that uses the same drug to treat all cancer types that have the genetic mutation or biomarker that is targeted by the drug. In a large, on-going Phase I trial (approximately 700 patients enrolled to-date) of multiple solid tumor types, we use a tumor-agnostic modeling approach in the form of a Bayesian hierarchical model to yield predictive probabilities of the efficacy signal of a given tumor type by pooling data across other tumor types which share genetic features. This approach allows futility decisions to be made prior to hitting any pre-defined futility benchmark requiring a minimum number of observed responses. Allowing this type of continuous monitoring discourages ongoing treatments that fail to show therapeutic benefit, thus maximizing patient benefit.
