Gliederung

Text

Within the area of oncology dose-finding several model-based methods for the determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) have been developed. A prominent and widely used approach implements a Bayesian logistic regression model based on the patient-level information of dose-limiting toxicities. A major advantage of this approach is the opportunity to use external data e.g. coming from historical sources or co-data to enrich the data situation and thereby to increase the precision of the MTD estimation. For this purpose, e.g. the meta-analytic prior (MAP) approach and the related meta-analytic combined (MAC) may be used.

In this presentation, we start by introducing the basic BLRM model for the mono and combination therapy case. Next, we will turn our attention to the MAP and MAC models for adding historical and co-data information into the BLRM. A joint modeling approach for the BLRM based on MAC is presented that is able to cope with simultaneous dose escalations in different settings like mono, combo or different combinations. In this approach, the different escalations are simultaneously enriching each other with co-data. We show simulation results regarding simultaneous escalations displaying the potential benefits of a joint modeling approach. Finally, we present a real life example for a trial that simultaneously performs different escalations using such a joint modeling approach.
