Currently, Phase I designs use the presence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) to guide dose escalation and de-escalation. The assumption is that this DLT outcome is observed without error. This presentation will illustrate the impact of toxicity attribution errors on Phase I designs and the recommended Phase II dose, and discuss the statistical and clinical implications of misclassification errors (false DLTs). Potential solutions to the problem will also be presented.
