Report on the Third FDA-AACR Oncology Dose-Finding Workshop.

Abstract:

:The FDA-AACR Oncology Dose-Finding Workshop, Part 3, was held in Washington, DC, on July 20, 2017, as a continuation of the previous two collaborative dose-finding and optimization workshops presented by the FDA and AACR. This year's workshop focused on combination therapy with immune-oncology agents and best practices regarding patient and dose selection, predictive biomarkers, and novel clinical endpoints. This summary highlights viewpoints that emerged during the workshop. Cancer Immunol Res; 5(12); 1058-61. ©2017 AACR.
