😄 When you find an analogy that perfectly fits, and you know you're going to use it to explain what you do...

"Consider a phase I-II design to be like a Labradoodle" 🐕🐩
2.2 Elements of Phase I-II Designs One may consider a phase I-II design to be like a Labradoodle, which is ob-tained by cross-breeding a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle. Labradoodles enjoy the desirable quality of heterosis, or hybrid vigor, since they have greater genetic diversity and hence better overall health than either of their parents. Hybrid clinical trial designs, if carefully constructed, enjoy similar advantages over the simpler designs that motivated them. The analogy is not strict, how-ever, since both Labradors and Poodles both are fine canine breeds, whereas the most commonly used phase I or phase II clinical trial designs suffer from logical and ethical flaws, as we demonstrated in Chapter 1

How would you communicate that being a "logical robot" 🤖 is better for the "greater good", and that the emotional response to deviate from the plans is not a sensible thing to do?

Summary:
🛑 The 3+3 design is inferior
☣️ Phase I designs focus on toxicity
📈 Ignoring efficacy information could be unethical if efficacy-toxicity relationship assumptions incorrect
Extract from trials book: These examples may be summarized by the following key points for settings where both Efficacy and Toxicity may be observed quickly enough to make adaptive decisions. 1. 3+3 algorithms do a poor job of choosing a MTD. 2. Conventional phase I sample sizes are far too small. 3. It often does not make sense to base dose-finding on Toxicity alone. 4. It does not make sense to design a phase II trial based on Efficacy alone, since safety is an important concern in any clinical trial and the trial must be stopped if excessive Toxicity is observed. 5. The inclusion of a rule based on Efficacy to stop for futility in phase I-II underscores the important point that, at the completion of a phase I-II trial, there is no reason to conduct a conventional phase II trial since it already has been done.

I'm enjoying reading through the "Textbook of Clinical Trials in Oncology: A Statistical Perspective" for my new role

🔗 www.crcpress.com/product/isbn...

And think it is a great resource for anyone interested in the design and analysis of oncology clinical trials

So... Let's do a read along!

And yet some of my favourite entries from our #MathsWeekEngland chart competition (with @royalstatsoc.bsky.social YSS) were beautifully simple, home-made pie charts (sometimes tart charts, sometimes pizza charts)
