"To say this is an extremely timely book would be a gross understatement. The editors have assembled an impressive series of articles that address many of the major methodological issues confronting researchers who are attempting to not only identify valuable medical treatments but to determine which subsets of patients will benefit from these treatments. These issues are particularly important in cancer research, where treatments are often burdensome, toxic, and expensive; one does not want to treat large numbers of patients when only a few will benefit [ this] would be a very valuable resource for anyone in, or moving into, the area of clinical trials for developing targeted therapies. Because the chapters steer away from highly technical discussions, I would recommend this book to clinicians as well as statisticians who are working in this challenging and developing area of research." -Susan Ellenberg, Journal of the ~American Statistical Association
"Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials for Predictive Medicine addresses a necessity for precision medicine: identifying and testing molecular biomarkers for their ability to predict the effect of treatments on specific patient populations." ~Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, December 2015
" a very good collection of relevant topics and methods, which have been published and applied in the field of personalized medicine from a clinical development perspective. The editors of this book are experts in the field and have published extensively on these topics. a useful reference for biostatisticians and researchers involved in the design and analyses of biomarker integrated clinical trials." ~Arunava Chakravartty, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics
" a useful resource for clinical biostatisticians, researchers focusing on predictive medicine, clinical investigators, translational scientists, and graduate biostatistics students."
