An Overview of Cancer Drugs Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration Based on the Surrogate End Point of Response Rate
FDA, RR, drug approvels, OS
Many cancer drugs come to market based on single-arm studies with modest RRs. Most of these drugs are tested in studies of over 100 patients prior to approval. Most (60%) of these approvals lack randomized clinical trials during the life cycle of the product. Our findings suggest greater room for th…
