In OncoBayes2: Bayesian Logistic Regression for Oncology Dose-Escalation Trials

Dataset: historical and concurrent data on a two-way combination

Description

One of two datasets from the application described in Neuenschwander et al (2016). In the study trial_AB, the risk of DLT was studied as a function of dose for two drugs, drug A and drug B. Historical information on the toxicity profiles of these two drugs is available from single agent trials trial_A and trial_B. Another study IIT was run concurrently to trial_AB, and studies the same combination. A second dataset hist_combo2 is available from this example, which includes only the data from the single agent studies, prior to the initiation of trial_AB and IIT.

Usage

codata_combo2

Format

A data frame with 20 rows and 5 variables:

group_id

study

drug_A

dose of Drug A

drug_B

dose of Drug B

num_patients

number of patients

num_toxicities

number of DLTs

cohort_time

cohort number of patients
