next_gBOIN_continuous {UnifiedDoseFinding}R Documentation

Determine the dose for the next cohort of new patients for single-agent trials that aim to find a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using gBOIN design

Description

Determine the dose for the next cohort of new patients for single-agent trials that aim to find a MTD under continuous measure using gBOIN design (Mu et al., 2017)

Usage

next_gBOIN_continuous(target, n, y, d, mu_1 = 0.6 * target, mu_2 = 1.4 * target)

Arguments

target

the continuous target score

n

the number of patients enrolled at each dose level

y

the toxicity score at each dose level

d

the current dose level

mu_1

the lower bound. The default value is 0.6 * target

mu_2

the upper bound. The default value is 1.4 * target

Value

next_gBOIN_continuous() returns recommended dose level for the next cohort as a numeric value under continuous measure
