    Abstract Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) designs are a class of model-assisted dose-finding designs that can be used in oncology trials to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a study drug based on safety or the optimal biological dose (OBD) based on safety and efficacy. BOIN designs provide a complete suite for dose finding in early phase trials, as well as a consistent way to explore different scenarios such as toxicity, efficacy, continuous outcomes, delayed toxicity or efficacy and drug combinations in a unified manner with easy access to software to implement most of these designs. Although built upon Bayesian probability models, BOIN designs are operationally simple in general and have good statistical operating characteristics compared to other dose-finding designs. This review paper describes the original BOIN design and its many extensions, their advantages and limitations, the software used to implement them, and the most suitable situation for use of each of these designs. Published examples of the implementation of BOIN designs are provided in the Appendix.

    Abstract In trials of novel immuno-oncology drugs, the proportional hazards (PH) assumption often does not hold for the primary time-to-event (TTE) efficacy endpoint, likely due to the unique mechanism of action of these drugs. In practice, when it is anticipated that PH may not hold for the TTE endpoint with respect to treatment, the sample size is often still calculated under the PH assumption, and the hazard ratio (HR) from the Cox model is still reported as the primary measure of the treatment effect. Sensitivity analyses of the TTE data using methods that are suitable under non-proportional hazards (non-PH) are commonly pre-planned. In cases where a substantial deviation from the PH assumption is likely, we suggest designing the trial, calculating the sample size and analyzing the data, using a suitable method that accounts for non-PH, after gaining alignment with regulatory authorities. In this comprehensive review article, we describe methods to design a randomized oncology trial, calculate the sample size, analyze the trial data and obtain summary measures of the treatment effect in the presence of non-PH. For each method, we provide examples of its use from the recent oncology trials literature. We also summarize in the Appendix some methods to conduct sensitivity analyses for overall survival (OS) when patients in a randomized trial switch or cross-over to the other treatment arm after disease progression on the initial treatment arm, and obtain an adjusted or weighted HR for OS in the presence of cross-over. This is an example of the treatment itself changing at a specific point in time - this cross-over may lead to a non-PH pattern of diminishing treatment effect.

    Abstract Background: In the phase 2 KarMMa trial, patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) achieved deep and durable responses with idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), a B-cell maturation antigen-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy. Here we report a sub-analysis of the Japanese cohort of KarMMa.
    Methods: Adult patients with RRMM who had received  ≥ 3 prior treatment regimens, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody, and had disease refractory to last treatment received ide-cel at a target dose of 450 × 10
    Results: Nine patients were treated with ide-cel. The overall response rate was 89% (median follow-up, 12.9 months). The best overall response was stringent complete response in 5 patients (56%), very good partial response in 3 (33%), and stable disease in 1. Median duration of response was not reached. All patients experienced grade ≤ 2 cytokine release syndrome and one patient experienced grade 2 neurotoxicity, but all resolved. Two patients died, one each from plasma cell myeloma and general health deterioration.
    Conclusion: Ide-cel yielded deep, durable responses with a tolerable and predictable safety profile in Japanese patients with RRMM. These results are similar to those of the non-Japanese population in KarMMa.

    Abstract Designs, such as the Eff-Tox, OBD (optimal biological dose), STEIN (simple efficacy toxicity interval), and TEPI (toxicity efficacy probability interval) designs, have been proposed to determine the optimal dose of a new oncology drug using both efficacy and toxicity. The goal of these designs is to select the optimal drug dose for further phase trials more accurately than dose finding designs that only consider toxicity, such as the 3 + 3, TEQR (toxicity equivalence range), mTPI (modified toxicity probability interval), and EWOC (escalation with overdose control) designs. We propose a new frequentist design for optimal dose selection, the 2D TEQR design, that is easier to understand and simpler to implement than the TEPI, Eff-Tox, STEIN and OBD designs, as it is based on the empirical or observed toxicity and efficacy rates and does not require specialized computations. We compare the performance of this new design with those of the TEPI, STEIN, Eff-Tox and OBD Isotonic designs. Although for the same sample size and cohort size, the frequentist 2D TEQR design is less accurate than the Bayesian TEPI design and also the STEIN design in selecting the optimal dose, the accuracy of optimal dose selection of the 2D TEQR design can be increased, in many cases, with a moderate increase in cohort size. The 2D TEQR design is as accurate as or more accurate than the Eff-Tox design in optimal dose selection, and better than the OBD Isotonic design, unless there is a clear peak in the true response rates, in which case the OBD Isotonic design performs better than the other designs.

    Abstract With the emergence of immunotherapy and other novel therapies, the traditional assumption that the efficacy of the study drug increases monotonically with dose levels is not always true. Therefore, dose-finding methods evaluating only toxicity data may not be adequate. In this paper, we have first compared the Modified Toxicity Probability Interval (mTPI) and Toxicity Equivalence Range (TEQR) dose-finding oncology designs for safety with identical stopping rules; we have then extended both designs to include efficacy in addition to safety - we determine the optimal dose for safety and efficacy using these designs by applying isotonic regression to the observed toxicity and efficacy rates, once the early phase trial is completed. We consider multiple types of underlying dose response curves, i.e., monotonically increasing, plateau, or umbrella-shaped. We conduct simulation studies to investigate the operating characteristics of the two proposed designs and compare them to existing designs. We found that the extended mTPI design selects the optimal dose for safety and efficacy more accurately than the other designs for most of the scenarios considered.

    Abstract Cancer is a disease that occurs due to the uncontrolled multiplication of cells that invade nearby tissues and can spread to other parts of the body. An increased incidence of cancer in the world has led to an increase in oncology research and in the number of oncology trials. Well designed oncology clinical trials are a key part of developing effective anti-cancer drugs. This review focuses on statistical considerations in the design and analysis of oncology clinical trials.
