Abstract #e23010: Double reading performance and the impact of adjudication on progression-free survival estimations: Findings from a lung clinical trial
The FDA recommends Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) with double reads for imaging in clinical trials, but inter-reader variability raises concerns. Our study examined this variability in lung cancer clinical trials using RECIST. We analyzed 5 phase III trials with 7 readers forming 11 teams, covering 1,017 patients. The study focused on Discrepancy Rate (DR), bias, endorsement rate, and the impact of adjudication on Progression-Free Survival (PFS) estimates. Results showed significant bias among readers, affecting double readings but no correlation between bias and DR. Additionally, adjudication significantly affects PFS estimates. These outcomes highlight the need to improve monitoring in clinical trials.
The ASCO Annual Meeting is the world’s premier oncology conference, organized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the largest oncology society in the world. Each year, the ASCO conference brings together more than 35,000 oncologists from all around the globe, and is attended by all medical, educational and industrial stakeholders involved in the field of oncology worldwide.
