Phase II cancer clinical trials for biomarker-guided treatments

Pages 256-263 | Received 17 Jan 2016, Accepted 08 Jul 2017, Published online: 27 Nov 2017
 

ABSTRACT

The design and analysis of cancer clinical trials with biomarker depend on various factors, such as the phase of trials, the type of biomarker, whether the used biomarker is validated or not, and the study objectives. In this article, we demonstrate the design and analysis of two Phase II cancer clinical trials, one with a predictive biomarker and the other with an imaging prognostic biomarker. Statistical testing methods and their sample size calculation methods are presented for each trial. We assume that the primary endpoint of these trials is a time to event variable, but this concept can be used for any type of endpoint.
