5 Key Takeaways: Insights on Alternative Designs to the Traditional 3+3 Design in Phase 1 Dose Escalation Studies

Traditionally, Phase 1 trials commonly utilize 3+3 designs to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Studies have shown, however, that two out of three trials employing a 3+3 design failed in identifying the MTD, and better approaches are needed.1 During Premier Research’s recent webinar Alternative Designs to the...

Alternative Designs to the Traditional 3+3 Design in Phase 1 Dose Escalation Studies, Upcoming Webinar

TORONTO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 08, 2021 Phase 1 clinical trials aim to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new molecule with the goal of identifying a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), often the MTD itself. Ideally, the RP2D would have adequate therapeutic effect to demonstrate preliminary signs of efficacy in Phase 2, but many...

The Art and Science of Selecting Patients for Phase 1 Oncology Studies

The primary purpose of early-stage clinical trials is to determine the recommended dose and toxicity profile of an investigational drug or multi-drug combination therapy. Since molecularly targeted agents (MTAs) and immunotherapies have toxicities that are distinct from cytotoxic chemotherapies, traditional dose escalation methods using toxicity-based endpoints may not be suitable for phase I studies of...
