Abstract

As scientific data sharing initiatives become more popular, an increasing amount of oncology clinical trial data is becoming available to the public. This historical data has the potential to help improve the design and analysis of future studies of new oncology compounds. Project Data Sphere is one such public database of oncology studies, with patient level data from over 76,000 patients. Here, we review the contents of this database and describe several examples of how the data has been used or could potentially be used in drug development. Applications include population selection, historical comparisons, and identification of stratification factors.
