Vivek Subbiah: N-of-1 Trials in Cancer Drug Development

“Pleased to share our paper in AACR Journals Cancer Discovery on ‘N-of-1 Trials in Cancer Drug Development’.

The current approaches for cancer drug development lag behind an accelerated need in the field for a fast and efficient method for evaluating drugs in the personalized medicine era.               .

In that regard, N-of-1 studies emerge as a potential addition to the drug development arsenal, although there are several considerations before its broad application becomes feasible. In essence, N-of-1 trials are a departure from the traditional ‘drug-centric’ model to a ‘patient-centric’ model.

Herein, we review the concept of N-of-1 trials and provide real-world examples of their use in the developmental therapeutics field. N-of-1 trials offer an exceptional opportunity for fast-tracking of cancer drug development in the precision oncology era.”
