Identification on surrogating overall survival with progression-free survival of first-line immunochemotherapy in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma—an exploration of surrogate endpoint

Abstract Background Overall survival (OS) is the gold standard to assess novel therapeutics to treat cancer. However, to identify early efficacy and speed up drug approval, trials have used progression-free survival (PFS) as a surrogate endpoint (SE). Herein, we aimed to examine if PFS could functio...
