Novartis’ statement is more than troubling, it’s pablum. They have no hard evidence their overpriced drug helps patients live longer or better. They have evidence that it satisfies a surrogate endpoint. Surrogate endpoints are, by design, artificial goals. They may be biologically informative but they do not answer the question, “Does this drug help cancer patients live longer or better?” Clinicians should boycott this drug until it proves to be at least non-inferior to taxanes.
