contents In oncology, phase II or multiple expansion cohort trials are crucial for clinical development plans. This is because they aid in identifying potent agents with sufficient activity to continue development and confirm the proof of concept. Typically, these clinical trials are single-arm trials, with the primary endpoint being short-term treatment efficacy. Despite the development of several well-designed methodologies, there may be a practical impediment in that the endpoints may be observed within a sufficient time such that adaptive go/no-go decisions can be made in a timely manner at each interim monitoring. Specifically, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guideline defines a confirmed response and necessitates it in non-randomized trials, where the response is the primary endpoint. However, obtaining the confirmed outcome from all participants entered at interim monitoring may be time-consuming as non-responders should be followed up until the disease progresses. Thus, this study proposed an approach to accelerate the decision-making process that incorporated the outcome without confirmation by discounting its contribution to the decision-making framework using the generalized Bayes' theorem. Further, the behavior of the proposed approach was evaluated through a simple simulation study. The results demonstrated that the proposed approach made appropriate interim go/no-go decisions.
