Oncology Drug Development and Dose Optimization: What Are the Implications of Project Optimus?

XTalks

Most oncology products approved in the past few decades are known for being highly toxic, non-specific and fraught with severe side effects for cancer patients. This was because higher doses often correlated with a better reduction in tumor size, so trial designs were predicated on obtaining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). But today, with a rise in molecularly targeted therapies, oncology development has shifted to identifying an optimal biologic dose that balances toxicity with efficacy.
