Abstract
Background: The initiation of biomarker-driven trials has transformed the oncology drug development
process. The approach with conventional drug development process (phase I, phase II, phase III) is being
abandoned where first-in-human explored the doses and activity of different sites of cancer (“basket
studies”). It questioned the basic frame-work about the drug development process. The ALK, ALK/ROS1
and EGFR inhibitors trial for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are the best examples in this context.
Now it is required to be expanded for all other sites as well.
Objectives: To explore the dose response modeling on MTA and thereafter extends it towards time-to-
event algorithm.
Methods: Suppose a total of n patients are selected assigned for different doses. A dataset is prepared
to mimic the situation on Subgroup Identification of MTA for time to event data analysis. The response is
measured through MTA. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques are prepared to perform the
proposed algorithm. The analysis is carried out with a simulation study.
Results: The work is proposed in the statistical methodology to support the biomarker-driven trial for
oncology research.
Conclusion: This subset selection is performed through the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) by the Bayesian
approach. This proposed method will be useful to decide the TLV of MTA from initial observation to
predict the long-term survival. This method is suitable for personalized medicine and can be adopted for
targeted therapy as well.
Keywords: Bayesian algorithm, Biomarker, Personalized Medicine.
