    Abstract Response-adaptive randomization, which changes the randomization ratio as a randomized clinical trial progresses, is inefficient as compared to a fixed 1:1 randomization ratio in terms of increased required sample size. It is also known that response-adaptive randomization leads to biased treatment effects if there are time trends in the accruing outcome data, for example, due to changes in the patient population being accrued, evaluation methods, or concomitant treatments. Response-adaptive-randomization analysis methods that account for potential time trends, such as time-block stratification or re-randomization, can eliminate this bias. However, as shown in this Commentary, these analysis methods cause a large additional inefficiency of response-adaptive randomization, regardless of whether a time trend actually exists.

    Abstract As precision medicine becomes more precise, the sizes of the molecularly targeted subpopulations become increasingly smaller. This can make it challenging to conduct randomized clinical trials of the targeted therapies in a timely manner. To help with this problem of a small patient subpopulation, a study design that is frequently proposed is to conduct a small randomized clinical trial (RCT) with the intent of augmenting the RCT control arm data with historical data from a set of patients who have received the control treatment outside the RCT (historical control data). In particular, strategies have been developed that compare the treatment outcomes across the cohorts of patients treated with the standard (control) treatment to guide the use of the historical data in the analysis; this can lessen the potential well-known biases of using historical controls without any randomization. Using some simple examples and completed studies, we demonstrate in this commentary that these strategies are unlikely to be useful in precision medicine applications.

    Abstract Recent therapeutic advances have led to improved patient survival in many cancer settings. Although prolongation of survival remains the ultimate goal of cancer treatment, the availability of effective salvage therapies could make definitive phase III trials with primary overall survival (OS) end points difficult to complete in a timely manner. Therefore, to accelerate development of new therapies, many phase III trials of new cancer therapies are now designed with intermediate primary end points (eg, progression-free survival in the metastatic setting) with OS designated as a secondary end point. We review recently published phase III trials and assess contemporary practices for designing and reporting OS as a secondary end point. We then provide design and reporting recommendations for trials with OS as a secondary end point to safeguard OS data integrity and optimize access to the OS data for patient, clinician, and public-health stakeholders.

    Abstract Efficient biomarker-driven randomized clinical trials are a key tool for implementing precision oncology. A commonly used biomarker phase III design is focused on testing the treatment effect in biomarker-positive and overall study populations. This approach may result in recommending new treatments to biomarker-negative patients when these treatments have no benefit for these patients.

    Abstract In recent years, there has been increased interest in incorporation of backfilling into dose-escalation clinical trials, which involves concurrently assigning patients to doses that have been previously cleared for safety by the dose-escalation design. Backfilling generates additional information on safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity on a range of doses below the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which is relevant for selection of the recommended phase II dose and dose optimization. However, in practice, backfilling may not be rigorously defined in trial protocols and implemented consistently. Furthermore, backfilling designs require careful planning to minimize the probability of treating additional patients with potentially inactive agents (and/or subtherapeutic doses). In this paper, we propose a simple and principled approach to incorporate backfilling into the Bayesian optimal interval design (BOIN). The design integrates data from the dose-escalation and backfilling components of the design and ensures that the additional patients are treated at doses where some activity has been seen. Simulation studies demonstrated that the proposed backfilling BOIN design (BF-BOIN) generates additional data for future dose optimization, maintains the accuracy of the MTD identification, and improves patient safety without prolonging the trial duration.

    Abstract Recently developed clinical-benefit outcome scales by the European Society for Medical Oncology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology allow standardized objective evaluation of outcomes of randomized clinical trials. However, incorporation of clinical-benefit outcome scales into trial designs highlights a number of statistical issues: the relationship between minimal clinical benefit and the target treatment-effect alternative used in the trial design, designing trials to assess long-term benefit, potential problems with using a trial endpoint that is not overall survival, and how to incorporate subgroup analyses into the trial design. Using the European Society for Medical Oncology Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale as a basis for discussion, we review what these issues are and how they can guide the choice of trial-design target effects, appropriate endpoints, and prespecified subgroup analyses to increase the chances that the resulting trial outcomes can be appropriately evaluated for clinical benefit.
