PremiseMany new targeted agents and many more potential
combination therapies.
Unfortunately, success rate for oncology drug
development is very low.
Targeted agents do not work for all patients.
Are there markers to guide the choice of treatments?
How to treat patients best in the trial?
How to gauge the treatment effect?
– response rate, disease stabilization, improved survival
Limited patient population enrolled in clinical trials
Time is of the essence.
How to best identify markers, gauge treatment
efficacy, and treat patients in a clinical trial?

We think we know but often we really don’t –
Need clinical trials to confirm or refute the hypothesis.

Goals for Biomarker-Based Adaptive Designs
Identify prognostic and predictive markers for targeted agents– Prognostic markers
markers that associate with the disease outcome regardless of the treatment: e.g., stage, performance status
– Predictive markers
markers which predict differential treatment efficacy in different marker groups: e.g., In Marker (-), tx does not work
but in Marker (+), tx works
Test treatment efficacy– Control type I and II error rates
– Maximize study power for testing the effectiveness between treatments
– Group ethics
Provide better treatment to patients enrolled in the trial– Assign patients into the better treatment arms with higher probabilities
– Maximize total number of successes in the trial
– Individual ethics

Marker Groups
5 marker groups
Marker Group assignment was based on:
1. Results of the individual biomarkers
2. Higher ranking biomarker took precedence
4 treatments
Treatment assignment was based on:
1. Equal randomization initially
2. Adaptive randomization based on marker group and
posterior probability

ER is applied in the first stage for model developmentAR will be applied after enrolling at least one patient in each (Treatment x MG) subgroup.Adaptively assign the next patient into the treatment arms proportional to the marginal posterior disease control rates.
set a minimum RR to 10% to ensuring a reasonable probability of randomizing pts in each arm
Suspend randomization of a treatment in a biomarker group if – Probability(DCR > 0.5 | Data) < 10%
Declare a treatment is effective in a biomarker group if – Probability(DCR > 0.3 | Data) > 80%

Adaptive vs. Fixed Randomization
Korn and Freidlin (JCO 2011)
– Compare AR versus FR in two-arm trials using simulations.
– AR has no benefits over FR if accrual rate is the same.
– If using AR can increase the accrual rate, use a fixed 1:2
randomization in favor of the experimental arm.
Berry (JCO 2011)
– I agree with their calculations, but not with their conclusion.
– Greatest potential for adaptive randomization is in multi-
armed Trials.
– Adaptive designs promise shorter cancer drug development
and better identification of responding patient populations.
– Adaptive trials have disadvantages that must be considered
along with the potential advantages.

What are the DCRs in ER vs. AR?
DCR
– in ER = 52% (N=95)
– in AR = 42% (N=149)
What a bummer !?
Why?
![Page 45: Biomarker-Based Bayesian Adaptive Designs for Targeted ... · Adaptive Designs for Targeted Agent Development – Implementation and Lessons Learned from the ... 8-week disease control](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051803/5b0711907f8b9a5c308dd0d3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Why didn’t AR work better? Time drift. ER pts tends to have more– never smokers (28% vs 18%)
– PS=0 pts (13% vs 6%)
– Erlotinib naïve (58% vs 53%)
– Female (51% vs 44%)
Percent of patients eligible for trials– Only 1 trial: 21%
– Two trials: 35%
– Three trials: 31%
– All four trials: 14%
PI override (N=3, all progressed)
Actual outcomes changed by the final endpoint review committee (N=14)
AR started too late (~40%, ER) and not aggressive enough.

Lessons Learned from BATTLE?Biomarker-based adaptive design is doable! It is well received by clinicians and patients.
Prospective tissues collection & biomarkers analysis provide a wealth of information
Treatment effect & predictive markers are efficiently assessed.
Pre-selecting markers is not a good idea. We don’t know what are the best predictive markers at get-go.
Bundling markers into groups, although can reduce the total number of marker patterns, is not the best way to use the marker information either.
Watch for time drift and avoid it.
AR should kicks in early & closely monitored.
AR works well only when we have good drugs and good predictive markers.

Discovery Platform versus
Confirmatory PlatformEarly phase of drug developing is about discovery and learning.
Adaptive design provides an ideal platform for learning.
Due to the large number of tests, the overall false positive rate may be large.
Results found in the discovery platform need to be validated in the confirmatory platform– Validation of treatment efficacy
– Validation of predictive markers
After narrowing down the biomarkers and treatments combination(s), validation trials can be more focused.– Traditional designs or innovative designs

Summary
Adaptive designs enable us to continue to learn about the new agents’ activities and identify the predictive markers during the trial in order to apply this knowledge to better treat patients in real time.
It can increase the study efficiency, allow flexibility in study conduct, and provide better treatment to study participants. – Speed up drug development– A step towards personalized medicine
Extra steps need to be taken to ensure the integrity of study conduct, e.g., objective and timely evaluation of endpoints, monitoring AR continuously.
Roll up your sleeves! The proof of the pudding is in the eating. We need to do more such innovative trials to learn and to improve the trial designs and conduct so we can turn promise into progress.
