Participation in phase 1 oncology trials is regarded as a therapeutic option by some physicians, bioethicists, and medical organizations. Previous analyses have attempted to measure benefit in phase 1 clinical trials using Overall Response Rate, a statistic that estimates tumor reduction. However, this commonly used measurement is only a surrogate endpoint that does not have clear associations with survival or quality of life. Whether phase 1 cancer trials are considered therapeutic is consequential to a number of ethical and policy issues. The purpose of this thesis was to provide a review of the current ethics literature surrounding whether phase 1 clinical trials offer prospective benefit and to conduct a review of phase 1 cancer trials ...
