Some of the most frequently cited are (i) the randomized discontinuation design (29,47,48), (ii) the phase-2 design with reference arm (50), (iii) the phase-2/3 design, (iv) the phase-2 selection design (52), and (v) the phase-2 screening design (32). A full discussion of these designs, their applications, strengths, and weakness is beyond the scope of this chapter. However, brief summary of these designs and relevant references are provided in Table 2. In summary, among the factors to be considered in designing a phase-2 study are (i) the anticipated activity of the agent/combination; (ii) the patient population of interest; (iii) the resources available to support the study; (iv) whether the outcome with standard therapy is very well defined such that there is a good historical control database; and (v) whether objective response rate is the end point of interest.
