Examining amyloid reduction as a surrogate endpoint through latent class analysis using clinical trial data for dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Increasing evidence suggests that amyloid reduction could serve as a plausible surrogate endpoint for clinical and cognitive efficacy. The double‐blind phase 3 DIAN‐TU‐001 trial tested clinical and cognitive declines with increasing doses of solanezumab ...

Evaluating amyloid-beta as a surrogate endpoint in trials of anti-amyloid-beta drugs in Alzheimer’s disease: a Bayesian meta-analysis [PDF]
Aim: The use of amyloid-beta (Aβ) clearance to support regulatory approvals of drugs in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains controversial. We evaluate Aβ as a potential trial-level surrogate endpoint for clinical function in AD.

Intermediate endpoints as surrogates for outcomes in cancer immunotherapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase 3 trialsResearch in context [PDF]
Summary: Background: Cancer immunotherapy shows unique efficacy kinetics that differs from conventional treatment. These characteristics may lead to the prolongation of trial duration, hence reliable surrogate endpoints are urgently needed.
