“…The use of tumor dynamics model‐based approaches has become increasingly attractive to evaluate treatment response for decision‐making through the course of clinical development in oncology. 1 , 2 , 3 Model‐based tumor dynamics metrics (including early shrinkage, time to regrowth, on‐treatment growth rate, or the full dynamic profile) have been demonstrated to predict overall survival (OS) in different types of solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, 4 , 5 , 6 breast cancer, 7 , 8 non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 9 , 10 , 11 locally advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC), 12 , 13 renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 14 , 15 and several other tumor types 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 for a variety of treatments. Leveraging tumor dynamics as a biomarker to predict OS in phase II trials with cancer immunotherapy (CIT) is not a novel concept, but longitudinal tumor response to CIT treatment may elicit different patterns compared with treatments with other mechanisms of action, such as delayed responses or increased tumor burden before regression.…”
