The Backfill i3+3 Design for Dose-Finding Trials in Oncology

Jiaxin Liu, Shijie Yuan, B. Nebiyou Bekele +1

We consider a formal statistical design that allows simultaneous enrollment of a main cohort and a backfill cohort of patients in a dose-finding trial. The goal is to accumulate mo…

BaySize: Bayesian Sample Size Planning for Phase I Dose-Finding Trials

Xiaolei Lin, Jiaying Lyu, Shijie Yuan +2

We propose BaySize, a sample size calculator for phase I clinical trials using Bayesian models. BaySize applies the concept of effect size in dose finding, assuming the MTD is defi…
