Summary: An important factor that affects the duration, complexity and cost of a clinical trial is the endpoint used to study the treatment’s efficacy. When a true endpoint is difficult to use because of such factors as long follow-up times or prohibitive cost, it is sometimes possible to use a surrogate endpoint that can be measured in a more convenient or cost-effective way. This book focuses on the use of surrogate endpoint evaluation methods in practice, using SAS and R. https://www.crcpress.com/Applied-Surrogate-Endpoint-Evaluation-Methods-with-SAS-and-R/Alonso-Bigirumurame-Burzykowski-Buyse-Molenberghs-Muchene-Perualila-Shkedy-Elst/p/book/9781482249361
