<<<<But of course it does mean that trials would take that much longer (which of course is mainly why companies have always pushed for the use of surrogate endpoints instead).>>> True but if the FDA is now apparently not convinced that tumor shrinkage is good enough to merit approval even in cancer trials for different types of drugs, other endpoints may be found. Living longer does not necessarily mean that the trials have that as an endpoint but rather that the trials don't choose shrinkage when that is not apt to be the result. Again I am not able to do justice to the articles so any with an interest in this area should read them in the March issue of The Scientist.
