Prognostic Value of an Early Response to Tolvaptan and Its Clinical Implications in Patients With Cirrhosis and Hepatic Edema: A Nationwide Multicenter Cohort Study

open access: yesHepatology Research, EarlyView.
In a nationwide multicenter cohort, an early response to tolvaptan (≥ 1.5‐kg weight loss within 7 days) was independently associated with improved long‐term survival in patients with cirrhosis and hepatic edema. Early initiation before renal impairment or hyponatremia may optimize treatment response and prognosis. ABSTRACT Aim Hepatic edema indicates a

More Than a Question of Correlation: Characterization of the Evidentiary Basis for Biomarker Surrogates Used in European Marketing Authorizations

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 6, Page 1522-1536, June 2026.
Traditionally, clinical outcomes measuring how a patient feels, functions, or survives are preferred endpoints in clinical trials; however, some may take a long time to manifest in slowly developing diseases. Biomarkers, if properly validated, can serve as surrogate endpoints, acting as substitutes for clinical outcomes.
