Overview

About

Maintained by Emily V. DresslerCRAN page ↗

Provides the setup and calculations needed to run a likelihood-based continual reassessment method (CRM) dose finding trial and performs simulations to assess design performance under various scenarios. 3 dose finding designs are included in this package: ordinal proportional odds model (POM) CRM, ordinal continuation ratio (CR) model CRM, and the binary 2-parameter logistic model CRM. These functions allow customization of design characteristics to vary sample size, cohort sizes, target dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rates, discrete or continuous dose levels, combining ordinal grades 0 and 1 into one category, and incorporate safety and/or stopping rules. For POM and CR model designs, ordinal toxicity grades are specified by common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Function 'pseudodata' creates the necessary starting models for these 3 designs, and function 'nextdose' estimates the next dose to test in a cohort of patients for a target DLT rate. We also provide the function 'crmsimulations' to assess the performance of these 3 dose finding designs under various scenarios.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("ordcrm", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-ordcrm

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ordcrm

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ordcrm

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
