What Are the Key Metrics in Clinical Trial Results?
The success of a clinical trial is typically measured using several key metrics:
Overall Survival (OS): The length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment that patients are still alive. Progression-Free Survival (PFS): The length of time during and after the treatment that a patient lives with the disease without it getting worse. Response Rate (RR): The percentage of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment. Quality of Life (QoL): An assessment of how the treatment affects the patient's overall well-being and daily life.
