Six-month progression-free survival as the primary endpoint to evaluate the activity of new agents as second-line therapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma.

This study examined the association of progression-free survival at 6 months with overall survival in the context of second-line therapy of advanced urothelial carcinoma in pooled patient-level data from 10 phase II trials and then externally validated in a large phase III trial. Progression-free survival at 6 months was significantly correlated with overall survival and is an innovative primary endpoint to evaluate new agents in this setting.
