This paper presents the R package pocrm for implementing and simulating the partial order continual reassessment method (PO-CRM; [1,2]) in Phase I trials of combinations of agents. The aim of this article is to illustrate, through examples of the pocrm package, how the PO-CRM works and how its operating characteristics can inform clinical trial investigators. This should promote the use of the PO-CRM in designing and conducting dose-finding Phase I trials of combinations of agents.
本文介绍了用于在联合用药的 I 期试验中实施和模拟部分有序持续评估方法(PO-CRM;[1,2])的 R 包 pocrm。本文的目的是通过 pocrm 包的示例来说明 PO-CRM 的工作原理及其操作特性如何为临床试验研究者提供信息。这将有助于推广 PO-CRM 在联合用药的剂量探索 I 期试验中的应用。
