A nonparametric Bayesian continual reassessment method in single-agent dose-finding studies

Abstract Background The main purpose of dose-finding studies in Phase I trial is to estimate maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which is the maximum test dose that can be assigned with an acceptable level of toxicity. Existing methods developed for single-agent dose-finding assume that the dose-toxicity...
