Surrogate markers for targeted therapy-based treatment activity and efficacy

Abstract

Predictive biomarkers capable of discriminating individuals who will benefit from a given therapy from those who will not are key to personalized medicine. New drugs are developed in patients with advanced disease, when ethical and practical shortcomings limit the collection of tumor specimens. The neoadjuvant setting offers a unique opportunity for overcoming these limitations. Tumor samples are collected at diagnosis and posttreatment surgery as part of a routine therapeutic approach. Pathological complete response has been consistently associated with long-term survival and may be useful as an intermediate endpoint in developing and evaluating predictive, as well as surrogate, biomarkers. In window-of-opportunity studies, new drugs are administered shortly before planned surgery, and the effect of the intervention can be assessed by comparing diagnostic biopsy with the surgical specimen. Until now, clinically useful and validated predictive markers for targeted therapy are rare, but appropriate investigations in neoadjuvant studies will likely change this.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
