Efficiency of new dose escalation designs in dose-finding phase I trials of molecularly targeted agents.

BACKGROUND: Statistical simulations have consistently demonstrated that new dose-escalation designs such as accelerated titration design (ATD) and continual reassessment method (CRM)-type designs outperform the standard "3+3" design in phase I cancer clinical trials. METHODS: We evaluated...
