					| Abstract: | 
							Statistical validation of a surrogate endpoint has been  a topic of active research, motivated by the Prentice  criteria, which consist of a set of four criteria.  In particular, the fourth criterion implies that the entire  effect of the treatment on the true end point is captured  by the surrogate end point. For testing the fourth criterion  under an appropriate model, we consider an alternative  formulation in which we conclude the validity of the fourth  criterion based on the rejection of an appropriate hypothesis.  Ideas from equivalence testing are used to develop appropriate  test procedures, and the performance of the resulting tests are  numerically evaluated. Practical recommendations will be made  based on the numerical results.
