Abstract
As the use of multiple types of biomarkers in companion diagnostics continues to grow, evaluation and validation becomes more critical and often more complicated. While DNA biomarkers are stable over time, proteomic biomarkers can change over time depending on disease progression. Epidemiological variables, such as age, often provide additional predictive capability. Combining these biomarkers can lead to better diagnostics, but statistical analysis becomes more complex. This presentation will present techniques that have proven successful in the evaluation of diverse biomarkers for disease and drug response.
