Inadequate and delayed characterization of cutaneous reactions for US Food and Drug Administration-approved oncologic drugs from 2011-2020 leading to medication discontinuation
cutaneous, cutaneous reactions, FDA, oncologic drugs, AE, CenterWatch
Half of clinical trials lack detailed descriptions of rashes; over half discontinue therapy due to rash. There's a 1- to 2-year delay from identifying a rash to fully characterizing it, although this has improved over the last decade. Oncologic therapies are often discontinued without consulti…

An Overview of Cancer Drugs Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration Based on the Surrogate End Point of Response Rate
FDA, RR, drug approvels, OS
Many cancer drugs come to market based on single-arm studies with modest RRs. Most of these drugs are tested in studies of over 100 patients prior to approval. Most (60%) of these approvals lack randomized clinical trials during the life cycle of the product. Our findings suggest greater room for th…
