Abstract
Current clinical trials are based on rigid designs and drug-centric approaches that can stifle flexibility and innovation. With advances in molecular biology and technology, there is an urgent call to revitalize trial designs to meet these evolving demands. We propose a reshaped, prismatic vision of clinical trials combining different knowledge layers, synergized with modern computational approaches. This paradigm based on iterative learning will enable a more adaptive and precise framework for oncology drug development.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Cell is a journal that focuses on promoting major advances in cancer research and oncology. The primary criteria for considering manuscripts are as follows:
Major advances: Manuscripts should provide significant advancements in answering important questions related to naturally occurring cancers.
Translational research: The journal welcomes translational research, which involves the application of basic scientific findings to human health and clinical practice.
Clinical investigations: Cancer Cell is interested in publishing clinical investigations that contribute to establishing new paradigms in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of cancers.
Insights into cancer biology: The journal values clinical investigations that provide important insights into cancer biology beyond what has been revealed by preclinical studies.
Mechanism-based proof-of-principle studies: Cancer Cell encourages the publication of mechanism-based proof-of-principle clinical studies, which demonstrate the feasibility of a specific therapeutic approach or diagnostic test.
