I will present a review of study designs and statistical issues in biomarker clinical trials. Prognostic and predictive biomarkers are becoming increasingly common in cancer research and clinical applications, with the potential of informing treatment decisions. Their incorporation in the design of clinical trials often requires departures from the standard approaches. This presentation will discuss the merits and limitations of some of the designs that have been recently proposed and implemented, following the structure provided by a summary paper published in Clinical Trials: Mandrekar SJ, Sargent DJ, "Predictive biomarker validation in practice: lessons from real trials," 2010 Oct; 7(5):567-73 (http://ctj.sagepub.com/content/7/5/567.long).
