Abstract:

There is a strong desire to use surrogate endpoints in randomized clinical trials, instead of true clinical endpoints. Using surrogate endpoints could shorten the duration of the trials and reduce their cost, enabling more therapies to be evaluated. There are significant statistical challenges in demonstrating that a potential surrogate endpoint is valid. A number of statistical approaches have been suggested, including metrics for the proportion of treatment effect explained, within and between trial measures of association between the surrogate and the true endpoint, and counterfactual models.
