Abstract
Background: Personalized medicine incorporating genomic profile has become the frontier in modern medicine. It is especially profound in optimizing healthcare for cancer patients because many gene mutations significantly affect cancer progression and efficacy of treatments. Personalized Maximum Tolerated Dose (pMTD) estimation in Phase Ⅰ clinical trial is the initial key step to integrate genomic profile into personalized medicine.
Methods: Considering the limited sample size of phase Ⅰ trails, selecting a small number of representative gene mutation profiles is required to keep the pMTD estimation valid. The main aim of this study is to achieve above goal by performing variable selections and comprehensive index construction using four common methods: model selection with logistic regression, regularization, principle components analysis, and random forest.
Results: The results of four methods are compared in the consistency of selected genes, the simplicity and the variety in dose estimation using EWOC-NETS (escalation with overdose control using normalized equivalent toxicity score) framework. We found that different methods are fairly consistent in selecting the important genes. The Elastic Net method is the optimal one to generate a model with simplicity and precise dose estimation in predicting tumor response.
Conclusion: For future pMTD estimation, it is a good idea to use Elastic Nets as a main reference and the common elements recommended by other mentioned methods as additional support to decide the required representative gene information to be incorporated into EWOC-NETS. The extracting and incorporation of summary genomic data will have great potential to improve treatment precision and trial efficacy.
