Surrogate Endpoints in Medicine

A surrogate endpoint is defined as a biomarker intended to substitute for a clinical endpoint, such as an incidence, or mortality. The evidence supporting the linkage of a biomarker to accurately substitute for a clinical endpoint may be derived from epidemiologic studies, clinical trials, in vitro analysis, animal models, and simulated biologic systems. Analytical epidemiological studies of th...

Surrogate end points in heart failure.

Because of the increasing number of pharmacologic strategies available for treatment of heart failure (HF), the time has come to reassess the adequacy of end points used to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Interest in the use of surrogate end points in clinical studies is increasing. A surrogate end point is defined as a measurement that can substitute for a true end point for the purpose of comp...

Evaluating candidate principal surrogate endpoints.

SUMMARY Frangakis and Rubin (2002, Biometrics 58, 21-29) proposed a new definition of a surrogate endpoint (a "principal" surrogate) based on causal effects. We introduce an estimand for evaluating a principal surrogate, the causal effect predictiveness (CEP) surface, which quantifies how well causal treatment effects on the biomarker predict causal treatment effects on the clinical endpoint. A...

The perils of surrogate endpoints.

Our goals in medicine are (i) to improve the quality of patients’ lives, (ii) help them to live longer, and (iii) to do so at a reasonable cost. These are our true endpoints: health status, survival, and cost. It is thus entirely consistent with this point of view that these are the fundamental concepts that can be united in a formal cost–utility analysis. These endpoints remain the best measur...
