Identification of predictive biomarkers of response is essential for the success of targeted cancer therapies in clinical trials. I will present specific cases of pre-clinical studies with Xalkori , IGF1R and gamma-secretase inhibitors, and compare the different approaches used. Key computational and statistical considerations of experimental design and data analysis will be mentioned.
