ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we will study the more complex Bayesian dose-finding mod-

els in two dimensions. Either the outcome has two dimensions (efficacy and

toxicity) or the treatment has two dimensions (drug combinations). Going

from phase-I to phase-II trials, the objectives gradually switch shift from

a single toxicity issue to the combination of toxicity and efficacy, while a

combination of drugs is a common way of treating progressive disease such

as cancer and AIDs in phase-II and phase-III trials.
