Defining Endpoints in Trials of Colon Cancer Adjuvant Treatment
Many different outcomes are used as the primary endpoint of trials testing adjuvant treatments in cancer. The use of different endpointswhich may be defined differently by different investigatorsin a single cancer type can make it difficult to compare the results of different studies. Punt et al. (p. 998) examined the endpoints and endpoint definitions used in published phase III clinical trials of adjuvant treatment for colon cancer over the last decade. A total of 52 studies were identified that used eight endpoints, most commonly disease-free survival, in addition to overall survival. Many endpoints were defined in multiple ways;
Nanocarriers and Drug Toxicity, Effectiveness
Intravenous Bisphosphonate Therapy and Jaw Complications
Sexual Function Among Men in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial
New Trial Design for Treatment in Biomarker-Defined Groups
Early-Stage Breast Cancer Rates and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
