Predictive biomarkers allow the identification of the subsets of patients who will benefit from a particular drug. However, the development of biomarker–drug combinations requires novel clinical trial designs. In their Perspective, Beckman and colleagues formulate guidelines for the adaptive integration of predictive biomarkers into Phase II/Phase III clinical trials and present strategies to achieve optimal efficiency of such trials.
