Dept. of Medical Science/박사Objectives This study was carried out to build a comprehensive mathematical model to predict treatment outcome in HER2 positive metastatic gastric cancer patients. Materials and Methods Data were collected from 69 advanced gastric cancer patients who participated in a clinical study conducted in Severance hospital, Seoul, Korea, as part of ToGA clinical trial. Sum of longest diameter of target lesions was evaluated at each clinic visit based on RECIST criteria. A tumor growth inhibition (TGI) model was developed under a K-PD modeling framework. Parametric survival models were subsequently built to link TGI model predictions to PFS and PPS. A separate dataset consisting of 86 patients was used for model valid...
