For the millions who face cancer, there is good news: today, many patients with formerly fatal diagnoses will enter complete remission and live their lives in good health. Thousands of people every year are surviving cancers that were considered fatal just a decade or two ago. Great strides are being made in the treatment of cancer using a combination of modern surgical techniques, radiation, chemotherapy treatment, and smart drugs custom-designed to block the growth of cancer cells. In this fascinating and hopeful book, world-renowned doctor and researcher Dr. David G. Nathan reveals both the scientific and human aspects of the war against cancer and explores what it means to have and to fight cancer in the 21st century.

 An iterative phase I/II/I clinical trial design incorporating genomic biomarker information.


An iterative phase I/II/I clinical trial design incorporating genomic biomarker information.


$49.99


The goal of a phase I cancer clinical trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of a new drug that corresponds to some given acceptable rate of dose limiting toxicity. However, a common limitation to the generalizability of phase I and phase II clinical trials is high patient heterogeneity with respect to toxicity and efficacy. A poor estimate of the MTD may put patients at unprecedented risks by assigning subtherapeutic or excessively toxic doses. Ignoring patient heterogeneity with respect to efficacy may cause phase II trials to have extremely large false positive and false negative error rates within subpopulations. In either case, the large scale phase III clinical trial conducted with an inappropriate dose may put patients in the study at high risk, and doom a potential effective and safe treatment after substantial investment in its development.;It is believed that most cancer clinical trials involve a heterogeneous group of patients at the molecular level. This heterogeneity is one of the reasons that not all patients with cancer respond to a given drug. In view of this patient heterogeneity, it is clear that a “one size fits all” approach may not be suitable in the drug development process. Therefore, it is important to be able to predict which patients are most likely to benefit from a new drug. This would not only save patients from unnecessary risk of toxicity but might facilitate their receiving beneficial treatment, and it would shorten the time required for drug development and lower associated costs. The goals of this research are two fold: (1) to investigate statistical issues involved in applying a genomic biomarker classification method to account for patient heterogeneity with respect to toxicity and efficacy response in early phase clinical trials, allowing for the possibility of differing treatment efficacy among subpopulations, and (2) developing a new design approach that incorporates

 Analysis of HER2 testing in breast cancer: Disparities, cost-effectiveness, and patterns of care.


Analysis of HER2 testing in breast cancer: Disparities, cost-effectiveness, and patterns of care.


$69


HER2 breast cancer is an aggressive disease that occurs in 20–30% of the breast cancer population. Treatment for HER2 breast cancer includes use of an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, trastuzumab. Testing for HER2 is of critical importance due to the adverse side effects and substantial costs associated with this anti-HER2 treatment. Currently, two kinds of tests, Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC), are FDA approved for determination of HER2 status in breast cancers.;Clinical and non clinical factors that affect the choice HER2 test and the use of anti-HER2 therapy in breast cancer were analyzed using a data set containing information from six outpatient oncology clinics in the United States. The analysis showed that geographic location, cancer stage, and diagnosis date (pre- or post-publication of testing guidelines) have significant effects on choice of test. With regard to trastuzumab prescription, geographic location and HER2 status have significant effects on the prescription of trastuzumab. In addition, there was a non-significant trend for certain Medicare patients not to receive trastuzumab therapy. These findings indicate that disparities are present in breast cancer care based on geography and cancer stage, and highlight the importance of testing guidelines.;The cost effectiveness of FISH vs. IHC was determined, by considering the financial and health-related costs associated with testing and subsequent treatment as well as the accuracy of each test. The results show that FISH is the optimal choice for HER2 testing and is more cost-effective than IHC.
