报告摘要

Abstract: One of the questions in the design of cancer clinical trials with combination of two drugs is in which order to administer the drugs. This is an important question, especially in the case where one agent may interfere with

the effectiveness of the other agent. In this talk I will address this scheduling question by mathematical modeling approaches, in a specific case where one of the drugs is anti-VEGF, which is known to affect the perfusion of other drugs. As a second drug we take anti-PD-1. Both drugs are known to increase the activation of anticancer T cells. Our simulations show that in the case where anti-VEGF reduces the perfusion, a non-overlapping schedule is significantly more effective than asimultaneous injection of the two drugs, and it is somewhat more beneficial to inject anti-PD-1 first.
