Phase I Trial Design for Targeted, Non-Cytotoxic Agents
New targeted, non-cytotoxic anticancer agents, such as small-molecule
kinase inhibitors, pose challenges to the current phase I paradigm of dose
selection based on toxicity. Parulekar and Eisenhauer
(p. 990) reviewed
strategies used in 60 completed phase I studies of 31 targeted drugs. The
authors found that toxicity was the major endpoint used in the selection of
the recommended phase II dose. Nontraditional endpoints, such as measures of
molecular drug effects in tumor or surrogate tissue or functional imaging
studies, were not routinely incorporated into the study design and rarely
formed the primary
