Introduction
History of (FDA) Drugs Approval
§ ‘70: Objective (tumor) Response Rate (ORR)
§ ‘80: More demonstration of clinical benefit:
Survival, QoL, Physical functioning, Tumorrelated symptoms
§ ’90: use of Surrogate endpoints predicting
clinical benefits
§ 1992: FDA adopted accelerated drug approval

Surrogate Endpoints
A surrogate endpoint is an alternative endpoint that if validated
allows conclusions to be made about the effect of an intervention
on a true endpoint often requiring a shorten observaion period
§ Surrogate ‘efficacy’ endpoints in oncology aim to replace OS, the
endpoint to ‘predict’

§ Standard set of Criteria (RECIST)
§  Identification and Classification of Tumor Lesions
§  Measurable (Target) vs Non Measurable (Non-Target)
§  Periodicity (e.g. CT-Scan every 6 or 8 weeks)
§  Response evaluated vs Baseline (assessment prior to study
entry)
§  A 30% decrease in the sum of all lesions measurement (mm)
§  Progression evaluated vs Nadir (best response prior to current
assessment)
§  A 20% increase in the sum of all lesions measurement (mm)
§  An increase / prgression of any non-target lesion or new lesion identified
after study entry determines also the progression

Definition
Pros
Overall Survival
Time from randomization until radiolagical
tumor progression
Surrogate Endpoints
•  Requires smaller sample size
•  Not affected by crossover or subsequent
therapies
•  Based on objective and quantitative assessment
Data Management
Cons
•  Measurement may be subject to bias
•  Requires frequent radiologic assessment (e.g.
every 6 weeks) and same or similar among
treatment arms
•  In some settings can be difficult to validate
Censor
•  Last date radiological tumor assessment

Surrogate Endpoints
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
§ A variant of TTP where death are also counted as event
§ In some protocols Death as event can be limited if occurred within ‘xx’
weeks from last tumor assessment (e.g. 12 weeks)
§ Applicable to study with patients with advanced cancer
Disease Free Survival (DFS)
§ Same as PFS but it assumes patients are disease-free at
study entry
§ Applicable to study testing adjuvant therapies with patients
where the disease (cancer) was previously surgically removed
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)
§ Time from randomization to discontinuation of treatment for
any reason
§ TTF not reccomended as regulatory endpoint for approval; «a
regulatory endpoint should clearly distinguish the efficacy of
the drug from toxicity, patient or physichian withdrwal or
patient intolerance»

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Definition
Proportion of patients with tumor size reduction
of a predefined amount and for a minumim time
period. FDA has defined ORR as the sum of
Complete and Partial Responses
Pros
•  Can be assessed in single-arm studies
•  Can be assessed earlier and in smaller studies
•  Effect attributable to drug, not natural history
Cons
•  Not a direct measure of benefit
•  Only a subset of patients who benefit
Response Duration (DR)
§ Time from first assessment of CR or PR until date of
progression or last tumor assessment
§ Applicable only to patients with ORR

Sensitivity Analysis in Tumor Response based endpoint
§ Use of Per Protocol Population
§ Include clinical progressions
§ Different Censoring/Event Date Methods
§  Backdating event date when tumor assessment are not performed within
the pre-defined interval
§  Censoring at the date of subsequent cancer therapy if occurred before
progression
§ Use of Independent Review of Tumor Endpoints
§  Can minimize bias in readiographic interpretation of the radiological
findings (investigator)
§  Often Primary endpoints in non-blinded studies

least one of the following conditions:

Other endpoints: Time to symptom progression (TTSP)
e.g. TTSP in Lung Cancer Trials as per the Lung Cancer
Symptom Scale (LCSS)
§ Symptomatic progression defined as an increase
(worsening) of the average symptomatic burden index
(ASBI, i.e., the mean of the six major lung cancer
specific symptom scores [fatigue, pain, dyspnoea,
cough, anorexia and hemoptysis])
§ The worsening is defined as an at least 10% increase
of the scale breadth (i.e., at least 10 mm increase on
the 100 mm scale) from the baseline score.

§ Despite its complexity, “stable” standards exist for
efficacy evaluation
§ Use of efficacy indicators may be different from an
indication to another
§ Managing, deriving and analyzing efficacy endpoints
in oncology requires a clear understanding of the
disease
§ The use of efficacy endpoints in drug approval may
change again with the idea of targetting the therapies
