[V4-S3] New Methods to Clinical Evaluation of Anticancer Drugs in the Era of Immune Oncology Therapy
Session Chair(s)
Yasuhiro Fujiwara, MD, PhD
Chief Executive
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), Japan
Immnuno-Oncology (I-O) is really a unique and innovative approach to treat cancer patients. And, I-O agents pose unique challenges to the design of clinical trial as the treatment effect may be delayed. Thus, several statistical approaches have been developed to address the violation of proportional hazard assumption. In this session, a comprehensive summary for such approaches including the use of the restricted mean survival time (RMST) will be provided from not only statistical but also clinical perspectives. Finally, this session will provide a comprehensive discussion of the clinical evaluation of I-O. We will also discuss appropriateness of the clinical endpoints, the determination of development strategies, and the patient early access to new drugs as the treatment system evolves significantly regardless of I-O.
