The odds reductions due to angiotensin-converting enzyme/angiotensin receptor blocker treatment estimated from the meta-analysis were as follows: CV death: 13%, P b .0001; nonfatal myocardial infarction: 16%, P = .00001; nonfatal stroke: 14%, P = .006; heart failure: 28%, P b .00001; hospitalization for angina: 7%, P = .02; and revascularization: 5%, P = .17. For the CV composites, the projected odds reduction was larger (17.8%, 95% CI 0.452-1.189) for the narrower composite compared with the extended CV composite (11.7%, 95% CI 0.623-1.136); that is, use of the extended composite reduced power to detect a difference between treatment groups ...

Surrogate endpoints, or endpoints other than overall survival, will help accelerate drug discovery and provide additional solutions for patients, according to David Fabrizio, of Foundation Medicine, Inc. However, alternate endpoints are not without their drawbacks.

Use and approval of antihypertensive agents and surrogate endpoints for the approval of drugs affecting antiarrhythmic heart failure and hypolipidemia

In the era of evidence based medicine we insist on meaningful clinical outcomes from research studies as a basis for making decisions. Were interested in whether patients live longer, have a better quality of life or experience fewer hospitalizations as a result of treatment. More immediate physiologic variables which change as a result of treatment (such as blood pressure or LDL cholesterol) sometimes substitute for clinical assessment and are therefore known as surrogate endpoints. Although useful because they are more rapidly obtainable, they are not always reliable. Some surrogate endpoints such as short term suppression of ventricular arrhythmias by class I-C antiarrhythmics and hemodynamic improvement with inotropic agents do not correlate with clinical benefit at all and may even be harmful. Many surrogate variables are believed to correlate with clinical benefit but the magnitude of change necessary for meaningful outcomes is not always clear. What is the significance of a 2mm reduction ...

President Trumps recent comments about what he considers an overly stringent regulatory process just ahead of a new FDA Commissioner appointment bodes well for Esperion and its candidate. Although high levels of LDL cholesterol are widely believed to lead to increased risk of heart attack and stroke, its what regulators consider a surrogate endpoint. Its long been assumed that Esperion will need to conduct a long-term outcome study to actually measure the rate of cardiovascular events in patients taking its drug versus those who arent. If the FDA were to become more lenient on the use of surrogate endpoints, though, it stands to reason that bempedoic acid would have a much better chance of earning a thumbs up from the Agency without the long-term data. Esperion is running four registrational studies that should produce data around the middle of next year, although its outcome trial isnt expected to be ready for a few more years. If the company could bump its timeline up by a few years, it ...

Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response helps enterprises detect, investigate and respond to IT security incidents by facilitating active threat hunting.

Thus, for certain disease states there is a shift away from designating a single endpoint as the primary outcome of a clinical trial. When the disease condition can be represented by multiple endpoints, allowing conclusions to be dictated by a significance test on one of these alone is inadequate. This dilemma is more acute when the statistical power endowed by endpoints is inversely proportional to their importance. For example, in heart failure trials, the clinical outcomes with low incidence (such as mortality) yield impractical sample sizes, yet a sensitive biomarker which provides sufficient power remains a surrogate outcome. Therefore, combining endpoints to form a univariate outcome that measures total benefit has been the trend. Potentially, this composite endpoint offers reasonable statistical power while tracking the treatment response across a constellation of symptoms and obviating the normal issues that arise from multiple testing i.e. an inflated alpha. ...

Ex vivo data suggest that a pharmacokinetic interaction may exist between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and clopidogrel, decreasing the antiplatelet effect of the latter. We assessed that baseline PPI use would increase the 28-day and 1-year composite endpoints in patients undergoing, or at high likelihood of undergoing, PCI randomized to a loading dose and 1-year clopidogrel versus just 4 weeks of clopidogrel, in addition to daily aspirin, in the CREDO trial. Twenty-eight day (Death/MI/UTVR) and 1-year (Death/MI/Stroke) primary endpoints were analyzed based on PPI use at study entry. For each primary endpoint, Cox proportional hazard or logistic regression models were fit to identify the risk of PPI use in the patients receiving clopidogrel, placebo, and in the overall population. Clopidogrel reduced adverse events at 1-year to an approximately similar degree whether or not patients were on a PPI (Table 1⇓). PPI use also increased the incidence of the 28-day endpoint in patients receiving ...

Contents Time-to-event data are omnipresent in fields such as medicine, biology, demography, sociology, economics and reliability theory. In biomedical research, the analysis of time-to-death (hence the name survival analysis) or time to some composite endpoint such as progression-free survival is the most prominent advanced statistical technique. At the heart of the statistical methodology are counting processes, martingales and stochastic integrals. This methodology allows for the analysis of time-to-event data which are more complex than composite endpoints and will be the topic of this course. The relevance of these methods is, e.g, illustrated in the current debate on how to analyse adverse events. Time permitting, we will also discuss connections between causal modelling and event histories. ...

The argument went that the same would likely be true for reversed saphenous veins. Randomized trials in the past supported this notion. RRISC (2006) showed that angiographic restenosis occurred more frequently with BMS (33 percent vs. 14 percent with DES), but there were only 75 patients in the trial. Notably, there was no difference in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 32 months. The SOS trial (2009 with 80 patients) supported this finding with a 51 percent vs. 9 percent angiographic restenosis rate at 12 months with BMS and DES respectively. Target vessel failure also occurred more frequently with BMS at 35 months.. More recent trials, ISAR CABG and BASKET-SAVAGE (2011 and 2016 respectively) also found DES to be superior. These trials used composite endpoints of death or cardiac death, target lesion or target vessel revascularization and myocardial infarction as endpoints. That makes comparison of actual restenosis rates difficult. Nonetheless, the number of patients was larger and ...

Biomarker classification depends on its context of use, which in turn defines the extent to which the biomarker must be validated. In terms of requirements for validation, the holy grail of biomarker application is one that can serve as a surrogate endpoint in a clinical trial. A surrogate endpoint is a laboratory (or physical) measurement that is used in a clinical trial as a substitute for a clinical endpoint (e.g., survival or functional endpoint). Therefore, a surrogate endpoint must accurately predict the effect of therapeutic intervention. Guidance for Industry: Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions. The use of companion diagnostics to drive molecularly targeted drug development also requires that the diagnostic be clinically validated through the FDAs PMA or 510(K) process. In both of these instances the biomarker must be analytically validated (inclusive of the test platform, reagents, etc.).. The subtle differences between biomarkers, diagnostics, surrogate endpoints and companion ...

Research waste is estimated to be very common, but assessments of its prevalence and scope are rare. As an example, we assessed research waste in clinical research on calcium intake (assessing study design and endpoint type) and vitamin D supplementation (assessing endpoint type). We examined 404 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies of calcium intake (diet or supplements) and bone mineral density (BMD) or fracture, and 547 RCTs of vitamin D supplements, and assessed the proportion of studies that used surrogate or clinical endpoints. For studies with BMD or fracture as an endpoint, we estimated when the tipping point occurred indicating the need for RCTs with fracture as an endpoint (based on cumulative meta-analyses of BMD RCTs, and chronological review of observational studies), and whether each study published at least 5y after the tipping point was novel, added new clinical knowledge or was research waste. Observational studies of calcium intake and BMD or fracture

Current treatment guidelines recommend combination ART for acute primary HIV-1 infection. However, it is not known whether ART given during acute infection delays progression to AIDS or improves survival rates. Preliminary studies suggest ART given early in HIV infection not only reduces viral load but also restricts CD4+ cell loss, delays the development of opportunistic infections, and preserves T-helper cells and naive T cells. The immunologic basis of these protective effects has not been characterized thoroughly. This protocol assesses ARTs effects on immune responses in early HIV infection through a variety of cellular, humoral, and virologic assays, including 2 substudies. The substudies focus on antibody responses to neoantigen immunization (hepatitis B and tetanus). Primary endpoint analysis occurs at Week 72, but patients may be followed for long-term outcomes.. In the main study, patients with HIV-1 infection of less than 120 days are given the option of taking a potent ART ...

Background ART will be administered open-label.. The primary endpoint analysis will take place after all subjects have completed Week 16. An optimal dose of GSK2248761 will be determined by the Week 16 analysis; this dose selection will be confirmed using an analysis from all subjects following completion of Week 24. If there is a clear efficacy, safety or tolerability advantage driving dose selection for GSK2248761, then all subjects receiving the non-selected dose of GSK2248761 will be switched to the selected dose following dose confirmation, after all subjects have completed Week 24. If no differentiation of dose can be made based on objective measures of efficacy, safety or tolerability, then both doses will be continued through Week 48.. After Week 48, all subjects will be expected to obtain local access to all commercially available ART.. No regimen switches of either background ART (DRV/r and RAL) or test agent or control (GSK2248761 and ETV) are allowed during the 48 week period of the ...

will allow for what is effectively anecdotal evidence to be used as actual evidence to support the requirement for accelerated approval. Furthermore, the verbiage surrounding the term surrogate endpoint is loose at best. The idea of a surrogate endpoint is to produce a clinically relevant point in which to be able to measure the efficacy and safety of a drug. In the Cures Act, the definition of what constitutes a surrogate endpoint is left rather open-ended. It reads as such: The term surrogate endpoint means a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure, that is not itself a direct measurement of clinical benefit, and is known to predict clinical benefit and could be used to support traditional approval of a drug or biological product; or is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit and could be used to support the accelerated approval of a drug or biological product. It is worrisome to write that this endpoint can be a marker that is ...

It is important to recognize that outside of oncology, selection of a RPTD is typically not based on an MTD, but on target engagement through a surrogate endpoint. Indeed, when cancer is viewed as a chronic illness, selection of the optimal dose can be viewed in the context of the approach used in chronic, nonmalignant diseases. Typically, greater attention is paid to dose-finding in patients with these diseases than in cancer patients. This approach generally requires strong evidence of a robust surrogate marker that is likely to reflect clinical benefit. Although this has been successful in some diseases (e.g., viral load as a surrogate endpoint for AIDS trials), surrogates have mixed history of success in other diseases, including cancer (2). In any case, a minimum effective dose (MED) is often sought as opposed to an MTD. The study by Jain and colleagues suggests that the MED approach may be worth considering for cancer therapeutics, particularly in the era of targeted therapies.. Although ...

Internet-Draft Endpoint Posture Collection Profile November 2019 A.3. All Endpoints on the Network Must be Uniquely Identified Many administrators struggle to identify what endpoints are connected to the network at any given time. By requiring a standardized method of endpoint identity, the EPCP will enable administrators to answer the basic question, What is on my network? In [I-D.ietf-sacm-terminology], SACM defines this set of endpoints on the network as the SACM domain. Unique endpoint identification also enables the comparison of current and past endpoint posture assessments, by allowing administrators to correlate assessments from the same endpoint. This makes it easier to flag suspicious changes in endpoint posture for manual or automatic review, and helps to swiftly identify malicious changes to endpoint applications. A.4. Standardized Data Models Meeting EPCP best practices requires the use of standardized data models for the exchange of posture information. This helps to ensure that ...

Overall survival is the true endpoint for most randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of malignant tumors, whereas progression-free survival (PFS) is considered the most reliable surrogate endpoint for overall survival (OS). The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between surrogate endpoints and OS in randomized trials of first-line chemotherapy with doxorubicin (DOX), the standard treatment for advanced and metastatic soft tissue sarcomas (ASTS), using a meta-analytic approach. In a systematic review, we identified RCTs of first-line chemotherapy for ASTS that compared single-agent doxorubicin (DOX) with other chemotherapy regimens, and were published in English during January 1974-December 2017. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of first-line treatments for ASTS. Surrogacy of the intermediate endpoints for OS was investigated using weighted linear regression analysis. Correlation strength was examined using the coefficient of determination (R2). Twenty-seven randomized

This publication describes uniform definitions for cardiovascular and stroke outcomes developed by the Standardized Data Collection for Cardiovascular Trials Initiative and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA established the Standardized Data Collection for Cardiovascular Trials Initiative in 2009 to simplify the design and conduct of clinical trials intended to support marketing applications. The writing committee recognizes that these definitions may be used in other types of clinical trials and clinical care processes where appropriate. Use of these definitions at the FDA has enhanced the ability to aggregate data within and across medical product development programs, conduct meta-analyses to evaluate cardiovascular safety, integrate data from multiple trials, and compare effectiveness of drugs and devices. Further study is needed to determine whether prospective data collection using these common definitions improves the design, conduct, and interpretability of the results of

Reduction of animal suffering during in vivo experiments is usually ensured by continuously monitoring the health status using a score sheet and by applying humane endpoints. However, most studies do not evaluate the plausibility of score sheets and do not attempt to reduce the suffering of animals by determining earlier and, therefore, more humane endpoints. The present study uses data from BALB/cANCrl mice after bile duct ligation to retrospectively analyze which score sheet criteria are informative to determine humane endpoints. The performance of each single as well as com-binations of multiple animal welfare parameters was analyzed by a Cox proportional-hazards model followed by Harrells concordance index. The addition of behavioral parameters, such as burrowing activity, helped to define a more humane early endpoint for euthanizing these animals. Using this approach, we determined that a body weight loss of 10-20% combined with a reduction of burrowing activity by more than 79.4% was able ...

Diabetes is an important risk condition for atherosclerosis and its complications. In July 2014, more than 11,000 clinical trials in diabetes were registered at clinicaltrials.gov. The best standard to evaluate the efficacy of a new antidiabetic drug or of dietary, lifestyle, or other interventions is to observe clinical events, including MI, stroke, and death. The existence of a subclinical marker to evaluate change in risk is highly desirable in the development of new therapies, as such surrogate end points in trials often yield results years before sufficient numbers of true clinical events occur. This may save both costs and lives, speeding up the progress of drug development.. CIMT is a measurement of subclinical organ damage, a marker located halfway between risk factors and hard clinical end point events such as MI and stroke. Given its good predictive value, CIMT is an excellent candidate for such a surrogate marker. If CIMT were a valid surrogate of vascular events, one would expect ...
