||
The `phase1b` package implements a Bayesian approach to decision making | ||
in early development clinical trials. As a background, the main purpose | ||
of early trials is to determine whether a novel treatment demonstrates | ||
sufficient safety and efficacy signals to warrant further investment | ||
(Lee & Liu, 2008). | ||
|
||
The new R package `phase1b` is a flexible toolkit that calculates many | ||
properties to this end, especially in the oncology therapeutic area. The | ||
primary focus of this package is on binary endpoints. The benefit of a | ||
Bayesian approach is the possibility to account for prior data (Thall & | ||
Simon, 1994) in that a new drug may have shown some signals of efficacy | ||
owing to its proposed mode of action, or similar activity based on prior | ||
data. The concept of the `phase1b` package is to evaluate the posterior | ||
probability that the response rate with a novel drug is better than with | ||
the current standard of care treatment in early phase trials such as | ||
Phase I. | ||
|
||
The `phase1b` package provides a facility for early development study | ||
teams to decide on further development of a drug either through | ||
designing for phase 2 or 3, or expansion cohorts. The prior distribution | ||
can incorporate any previous data via mixtures of beta distributions. | ||
Furthermore, based on an assumed true response rate if the novel drug | ||
was administered in the wider population, the package calculates the | ||
frequentist probability that a current clinical trial would be stopped | ||
for efficacy or futility conditional on true values of the response, | ||
otherwise known as operating characteristics. | ||
|
||
The intended user is the early clinical trial statistician in the design | ||
and interim stage of their study and offers a flexible approach to | ||
setting priors and weighting. | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
### Development | ||
|
||
You can install the development version of `phase1b` from | ||
[GitHub](https://github.com/) with: | ||
|
||
```r | ||
devtools::install_github("https://github.com/Genentech/phase1b/", force = TRUE) | ||
library(phase1b) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Getting Started | ||
|
||
An introductory vignette is currently being prepared. Use the help | ||
function in your console to access the documentation. | ||
