Abstract
This paper presents the R package pocrm for implementing and simulating the partial order continual reassessment method (PO-CRM; [1,2]) in Phase I trials of combinations of agents. The aim of this article is to illustrate, through examples of the pocrm package, how the PO-CRM works and how its operating characteristics can inform clinical trial investigators. This should promote the use of the PO-CRM in designing and conducting dose-finding Phase I trials of combinations of agents.Entities:
