AB Phase I trials often represent the first occasion where new cancer strategies are tested in patients. Various developments in cancer biology, methodology, regulation, and medical ethics have altered the ethical landscape of such trials.

AB This review highlights strategies to integrate dose optimization into premarketing drug development and discusses the underlying statistical principles. Poor dose optimization can have negative consequences for patients, most commonly because of toxicity, including poor quality of life, reduced effectiveness because of inability of patients to stay on current therapy or receive subsequent therapy because of toxicities, and difficulty in developing combination regimens.

AB The approval of tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel in 2017 marked a milestone in the development of oncology therapies. Since 2017, the breakthrough in treatment or even cure of previously intractable diseases represented by this new class of cancer treatments has continued with subsequent chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T)-cell approvals. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved five autologous CAR T-cell products for seven indications.

AB The process of developing cancer therapies is well established and has enabled the incorporation of many new drugs and classes of agents into the standard of care for common cancers.

AB Advances in biology and immunology have elucidated genetic and immunologic origins of cancer. Innovations in sequencing technologies revealed that distinct cancer histologies shared common genetic and immune phenotypic traits.

AB The past 30 years have seen a considerable effort on the part of statisticians to improve the design and accuracy of early-phase oncology trials. Some of this effort has been rewarded via successful implementation in actual trials, yet it would be fair to say that among clinicians, there remains some reluctance to fully embrace more efficient model-based approaches.

AB A statistical test for the presence of treatment effects on survival will be based on a null hypothesis (absence of effects) and an alternative (presence of effects). The null is very simply expressed. The most common alternative, also simply expressed, is that of proportional hazards. For this situation, not only do we have a very powerful test in the log-rank test but also the outcome is readily interpreted.

AB In this article, we review different applications of how to incorporate individual patient variables into clinical research within oncology. These methodologies range from the more traditional use of baseline covariates from randomized clinical trials, as well as observational studies, to using covariates to generalize the results of randomized clinical trials to other populations.
