Is blood pressure reduction a valid surrogate endpoint for stroke prevention? an analysis incorporating a systematic review of randomised controlled trials, a by-trial weighted errors-in-variables regression, the surrogate threshold effect (STE) and the biomarker-surrogacy (BioSurrogate) evaluation schema (BSES)

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2012
Background Blood pressure is considered to be a leading example of a valid surrogate endpoint. The aims of this study were to (i) formally evaluate systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduction as a surrogate endpoint for stroke prevention and (ii ...

Prognostic and therapeutic implications of measurable residual disease in acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesJournal of Hematology & Oncology, 2021
Quantification of measurable residual disease (MRD) provides critical prognostic information in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A variety of platforms exist for MRD detection, varying in their sensitivity and applicability to individual patients.

Bayesian meta-analytical methods to incorporate multiple surrogate endpoints in drug development process. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A number of meta-analytical methods have been proposed that aim to evaluate surrogate endpoints. Bivariate meta-analytical methods can be used to predict the treatment effect for the final outcome from the treatment effect estimate measured on the ...

The perils of surrogate endpoints [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2015
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 ...
