Implication

Review highlights the utility of surrogate endpoints alongside overall survival in oncology trials, suggesting novel markers accelerate cancer drug approvals.

Key Points

Assess the clinical significance, validation, and implementation of emerging surrogate endpoints compared to traditional overall survival in oncology trials.
Reviewed traditional survival metrics, including overall survival and progression-free survival, across clinical cancer trial designs.
Examined emerging surrogate markers, including minimal residual disease, pathological complete response, immune-related response criteria, and patient-reported outcomes.
Overall survival serves as the gold standard oncology endpoint but demands prolonged follow-up, large sample sizes, and extensive financial resources.
Validated surrogate endpoints, such as progression-free survival and pathological complete response, shorten clinical trial duration and accelerate regulatory drug approvals.
Appropriate surrogate endpoint selection depends on specific cancer types, disease stages, intended treatment goals, and expected survival times.
