• Prentice Criteria: “A test of no treatment effect on<br />
the surrogate is equivalent to a test of no treatment<br />
effect on the true endpoint”<br />
• The treatment has a significant effect on survival<br />
• The treatment has a significant effect on <strong>PSA</strong><br />
• <strong>PSA</strong> is prognostic for survival<br />
• Once <strong>PSA</strong> is adjusted for, there is no significant treatment<br />
effect on survival<br />
• Meta-analytic validation: The treatment effect on the<br />
Surrogate is used to predict the treatment effect onto<br />
the True endpoint. A valid surrogate is one that<br />
enables a precise prediction.
