ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: In the last decade, various Machine Learning techniques have been proposed aiming to individualise the dose of anticancer drugs mostly based on a presumed drug effect or measured effect biomarkers. The aim of this scoping review was to comprehensively summarise the research status on the use of Machine Learning for precision dosing in anticancer drug therapy.
METHODS: This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the interim guidance by Cochrane and the Joanna Briggs Institute. We systematically searched the databases Medline (via PubMed), Embase and the Cochrane Library for research articles and reviews including results published after 2016. Results were reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist.
RESULTS: A total of 17 relevant studies was identified. In 12 of the included studies, Reinforcement Learning methods were used, including Classical, Deep, Double Deep and Conservative Q-Learning and Fuzzy Reinforcement Learning. Furthermore, classical Machine Learning methods were compared in terms of their performance and an artificial intelligence platform based on parabolic equations was used to guide dosing prospectively and retrospectively, albeit only in a limited number of patients. Due to the significantly different algorithm structures, a meaningful comparison between the various Machine Learning approaches was not possible.
CONCLUSION: Overall, this review emphasises the clinical relevance of Machine Learning methods for anticancer drug dose optimisation, as many algorithms have shown promising results enabling model-free predictions with the potential to maximise efficacy and minimise toxicity when compared to standard protocols.
