Title: | Bayesian biomarker-driven outcome-adaptive randomization with an imperfect biomarker assay | Authors: | GARCIA BARRADO, Leandro BURZYKOWSKI, Tomasz |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD | Source: | Clinical Trials, 18 (2) , p. 137 -146 (Art N° 1740774520964202) | Abstract: | Objective: We investigate the impact of biomarker assay's accuracy on the operating characteristics of a Bayesian biomarker-driven outcome-adaptive randomization design. Methods: In a simulation study, we assume a trial with two treatments, two biomarker-based strata, and a binary clinical outcome (response). P-bt denotes the probability of response for treatment t (t = 0 or 1) in biomarker stratum (b = 0 or 1). Four different scenarios in terms of true underlying response probabilities are considered: a null (P-00 = P-01 = 0.25, P-10 = P-11= 0.25) and consistent (P-00 = P-10 = 0.25, P-01 = 0.5) treatment effect scenario, as well as a quantitative (P-00 = P-01 = P-10 = 0.25, P-11 = 0.5) and a qualitative (P-00 = P-11 = 0.5, P-01 = P-10 = 0.25) stratum-treatment interaction. For each scenario, we compare the case of a perfect with the case of an imperfect biomarker assay with sensitivity and specificity of 0.8 and 0.7, respectively. In addition, biomarker-positive prevalence values P(B = 1) = 0.2 and 0.5 are investigated. Results: Results show that the use of an imperfect assay affects the operational characteristics of the Bayesian biomarker-based outcome-adaptive randomization design. In particular, the misclassification causes a substantial reduction in power accompanied by a considerable increase in the type-I error probability. The magnitude of these effects depends on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay, as well as on the distribution of the biomarker in the patient population. Conclusion: With an imperfect biomarker assay, the decision to apply a biomarker-based outcome-adaptive randomization design may require careful reflection. | Notes: | Barrado, LG (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, I BioStat, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. leandro.garciabarrado@uhasselt.be |
