Statistical Methods in Drug Combination Studies (Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series)

Drug combination research has become increasingly important as multi-drug treatments may overcome disease resistance to monotherapies given the heterogeneous nature of complex diseases, such as cancer. To screen for potential candidates, rigorous statistical methods must used to avoid a high proportion of false-positive recommendations, resulting in a tremendous waste of time and resources. This book covers all statistical aspects of drug combination research, from designing in vitro drug combination studies to analyzing clinical trial data.
