Table 1.

True toxicity and efficacy probabilities and utilities (πc,rT, πc,rE, uc,r) under eight simulation scenarios, for each dose, schedule, and subgroup. These values for optimal treatment regimes with uc,r>ucmax5 are underlined, where ucmax=maxr{uc,r} is the maximum utility for subgroup c, c = 1, 2. The regimes with a toxicity rate above 15% and, an efficacy rate below 20% are considered inadmissible in scenarios 1–6; The regimes with a toxicity rate above 30% and an efficacy rate below 30% are considered inadmissible in scenarios 7–8.
