Pragmatic dose-escalation methods incorporating relative dose intensity assessment for molecularly targeted agents in phase I trials

The recommended phase 2 doses of molecularly targeted agents, determined by using an ordinal dose-finding method that only uses toxicity data at first cycle, may not be optimal. Some researchers have proposed the use of relative dose intensity that can account for late-onset, cumulative, and low-gra...
