Clark,

This goes to the whole issue of surrogate endpoints for approval in cancer. There's been a lot of discussion at the FDA ODAC meetings - I'd search on the FDA site for details. There's also been some other reasearch - a quick google search turned up this 2003 ASCO cite for example:

The relationship between surrogate markers and survival in women receiving first-line chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer

asco.org

I think the short answer is that TTP generally does correlate with survival, and likely RR does to. But it may well vary by cancer type.
