Does biomarker use in oncology improve clinical trial failure risk? A large-scale analysis
biomarker, clinical trial, failure, analysis, NSCLC, oncology
Data from clinical trials across four oncology indications (breast cancer, NSCLC, melanoma, and colorectal cancer) from 1998 to 2017 were analyzed to assess drug approval likelihood based on biomarker status. Using multi-state Markov models, which describe stochastic processes, the study…
