Single-Arm Phase II Survival Trial Design provides a comprehensive summary to the most commonly- used methods for single-arm phase II trial design with time-to-event endpoints. Single-arm phase II trials are a key component for successfully developing advanced cancer drugs and treatments, particular for target therapy and immunotherapy in which time-to-event endpoints are often the primary...

Biography

Jianrong (John) Wu is a professor in the Division of Cancer Biostatistics, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kentucky; Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource, Markey Cancer Center. Dr. Wu has more than 20 years’ experience of designing and conducting cancer clinical trials at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Markey Cancer Center and has developed many novel statistical methods for designing and monitoring single-arm phase II and randomized phase III trial design with time-to-event endpoints.

"I would say it is a great book, great summary of not so common and widely available methods, focusing for a statistical audience with strong statistical skills."
