Abstract
Longitudinal biomarker data are often collected in studies, providing important information regarding the probability of an outcome of interest occurring at a future time. With many new and evolving technologies for biomarker discovery, the number of biomarker measurements available for analysis of disease progression has increased dramatically. A large amount of data provides a more complete picture of a patient's disease progression, potentially allowing us to make more accurate and reliable predictions, but the magnitude of available data introduces challenges to most statistical analysts. Existing approaches suffer immensely from the curse of dimensionality. In this article, we propose methods for making dynamic risk predictions using repeatedly measured biomarkers of a large dimension, including cases when the number of biomarkers is close to the sample size. The proposed methods are computationally simple, yet sufficiently flexible to capture complex relationships between longitudinal biomarkers and potentially censored events times. The proposed approaches are evaluated by extensive simulation studies and are further illustrated by an application to a data set from the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network.

Plasma Tie2 is a tumor vascular response biomarker for VEGF inhibitors in metastatic colorectal cancer. Nat Commun 2018; 9:4672.

Abstract
Oncological use of anti-angiogenic VEGF inhibitors has been limited by the lack of informative biomarkers. Previously we reported circulating Tie2 as a vascular response biomarker for bevacizumab-treated ovarian cancer patients. Using advanced MRI and circulating biomarkers we have extended these findings in metastatic colorectal cancer (n = 70). Bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) was administered to elicit a biomarker response, followed by FOLFOX6-bevacizumab until disease progression. Bevacizumab induced a correlation between Tie2 and the tumor vascular imaging biomarker, Ktrans (R:-0.21 to 0.47) implying that Tie2 originated from the tumor vasculature. Tie2 trajectories were independently associated with pre-treatment tumor vascular characteristics, tumor response, progression free survival (HR for progression = 3.01, p = 0.00014; median PFS 248 vs. 348 days p = 0.0008) and the modeling of progressive disease (p < 0.0001), suggesting that Tie2 should be monitored clinically to optimize VEGF inhibitor use. A vascular response is defined as a 30% reduction in Tie2; vascular progression as a 40% increase in Tie2 above the nadir. Tie2 is the first, validated, tumor vascular response biomarker for VEGFi.

Exploration of time points and cut-off values for early tumour shrinkage to predict survival outcomes of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with first-line chemotherapy using a biexponential model for change in tumour size. ESMO Open 2017; 2:e000275. [PMID: 29177097 PMCID: PMC5687555 DOI: 10.1136/esmoopen-2017-000275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2017] [Revised: 10/23/2017] [Accepted: 10/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Several studies reported that early tumour shrinkage (ETS) was associated with overall survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with first-line chemotherapy. However, appropriate time point and cut-off value for ETS remain unclear because these varied in previous studies. Patients and methods We investigated patients with mCRC who received FOLFOX or FOLFIRI with/without molecular-targeted agents as first-line treatment between 2005 and 2014. Using a biexponential model for change in tumour size, a relative change in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions from baseline was estimated at a certain time point in each individual patient. Associations of survival outcomes with ETS at various time points based on various cut-off values were evaluated by Cox regression analysis with a landmark approach. Results Among the 67 patients reviewed, the objective response rate was 73.1% (95% CI 62.5% to 83.7%), the median progression-free survival was 10.9 months (95% CI 8.7 to 13.0 months) and the median overall survival was 25.6 months (95% CI 20.1 to 27.3 months). The model for change in tumour size agreed with the actual measured sizes well. Multivariate Cox regression analysis, including performance status, number of metastatic sites and use of targeted agents, showed that ETS at 8 weeks based on a cut-off value of 20% was most significantly associated with overall survival (HR: 0.404, 95% CI 0.231 to 0.707, P=0.0015). Conclusion It is suggested that a time point of 8 weeks and a cut-off value of 20% may be optimal criteria for defining ETS.

Stat Med 2016; 35:2058-73.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary lung disease characterized by loss of lung function over time. Lung function in CF is believed to decline at a higher rate during the adolescence period. It has been also hypothesized that there is a subgroup of individuals for whom lung disease remains relatively stable with only a slight decline over their lifetime. Using data from the University of Colorado CF Children's Registry, we investigate four change point models to model the decline of lung function in children and adolescents: (i) a two-component mixture random change point model, (ii) a two-component mixture-fixed change point model, (iii) a random change point model, and (iv) a fixed change point model. The models are investigated through posterior predictive simulation at the individual and population levels, and a simulation study examining the effects of model misspecification. The data support the mixed random change point model as the preferred model, with roughly 30% of adolescents experiencing a steady decline of 0.5 %FEV1 per year and 70% experiencing an increase in decline of 4.4 %FEV1 per year beginning on average at 14.6 years of age.
