Multi-Trial Evaluation of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as a Surrogate Endpoint for Overall Survival (OS) in First-Line Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)

摘要

IntroductionWe previously reported that PFS may be a candidate surrogate endpoint for OS in first-line ES-SCLC using data from 3 randomized trials (Foster, Cancer 2011). In this validation study (N0424-Alliance), we assessed the patient- and trial-level surrogacy of PFS using data from 7 new first-line phase II/III ES-SCLC trials and across all 10 trials as well (7 new, 3 previous).
