Abstract

Background

To improve efficiency and safety of phase I trials, various new designs have been proposed. We reported that rule-based design and model-based design were similar profile in efficiency and safety (Shimomura A, et al. TAT 2017). The limitation of the study was retrospective single institutional study. Then, we investigated the literature or presentation based analysis to compare model-based design with rule-based design of phase I trials.

Methods

Published article or presentation of phase I trials which conducted at our institute between Dec 1996 and Dec 2016 were reviewed. Trials which met to the following criteria were excluded; combination trials, trials without dose escalation, trials with expansion cohort only, uncompleted trials and dose-finding trials (to assess safety and pharmacokinetic profiles in two or three doses up to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) previously determined in the West). Efficiency and safety were assessed in two design groups; rule-based design (conventional 3 + 3 design and accelerated titration design) and model-based design (CRM using escalation with overdose control). Number of patients who treated in MTD and around MTD (from under 20% to over 20% of MTD) was assessed to evaluate efficiency. Number of patients who treated over MTD or developed dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was assessed to evaluate safety.

Results

Of 47 trials, 35 trials have published. A total of 670 patients were included to the analysis. Five-hundred sixty (83.6%) and 110 (16.4%) were assigned to rule-based and model-based trials, respectively. 183 (32.7%) patients in rule-based trials and 17 (15.5%) patients in model-based trials were treated in MTD (p=.0001). 256 (41.6%) patients in rule-based trials and 23 (20.9%) patients in model-based trials were treated around MTD (p=.0013). Number of patients who treated over MTD was 63 (11.3%) in rule-based design and 8 (7.3%) in model-based design (p=.196). Frequency of DLT was 74 (13.2%) in rule-based design and 7 (6.4%) in model-based design (p=.0308).

Conclusions

Trials with rule-based design tend to treat more number of patients not only at both MTD/around MTD but also with DLTs than model-based design equipping trials.
