Bishal Gyawali: Why Overall Survival Should Be The Oncology Trial Endpoint

Bishal Gyawali, Associate Professor at Queen’s University, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Every time they approve a drug based on non-survival endpoint, they give us some excuse.

I have collected those excuses. There are seven of them. In this new column in Medscape , I and Dr. Sharon Batt, a cancer survivor and regulatory science expert, list these seven arguments and specifically respond to each of them to demonstrate why OS still remains the most patient centric endpoint for cancer drug trials.

Please do read.

This is NOT another “surrogates are bad” paper.

We specifically address the concerns raised against OS.

I hope you’ll be convinced.”
