Abstract:
In early phase clinical trial, finding maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) is a very important goal. Many researches show that finding a correct MTD can improve drug efficacy and safety significantly. Usually, dose-finding trials start from very low doses, so in many cases, more than 50% patients or cohorts do not have dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), but DLT may occur suddenly and increase fast along with just two or three doses. Although some fantastic models were built to find MTD, little consideration was given to those '0 DLTs' and the 'jump' of DLTs. In this paper, we developed a Bayesian zero-inflated binomial regression for dose-finding study, which analyses dose-finding data from two aspects: 1) observation of only zeros, 2) number of DLTs based on binomial distribution, so it can help us analyse if the cohorts without DLT have potential possibility to have DLT and fit the 'jump' of DLTs.

Binomial Probability Distribution
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...
