Population analyses of clinical tumour marker response
| Tumour type | Treatment | PD measurement (s) | Driver of PD response | Model type | Predictors for survival | Reference | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model-based | Other | ||||||
| Prostate | Prostatectomy | PSA | None | Two compartment | CLPSA (*) | – | You et al., 2009 [36] | 
| NSGCT | Bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin | AFP | None | One compartment | AUCAFG-hCG (*) | – | You et al., 2010 [37] | 
| hCG | None | One compartment | |||||
| Multiple myeloma | Dexamethasone | M-protein | Dose | TGI | – | – | Jonsson et al., 2010 [38] | 
| Ovarian | C/P; carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin | CA-125 | Tumour(t) | IDR III | – | – | Wilbaux et al., 2011 [39] | 
AFP, alpha fetoprotein; AUC, area under the concentration curve; C/P, carboplatin/paclitaxel; CA125, cancer antigen 125; CL, clearance; hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin; IDR, indirect response model; NSGCT, non-seminomatous germ cell tumour; PD, pharmacodynamics; PSA, prostate-specific antigen; TGI, tumour growth inhibition model.
Survival analysis was performed using non-parametric methods.
