Expected Length of Treatment

Using clinical experience and judgment, members of the study team (NSD, NDS, JSR)

categorized each indication for all novel therapeutics in our sample by expected length of

treatment as acute, intermediate, or chronic.

Definitions:

• Acute treatment was defined as expected use of less than one month

• Intermediate treatment was defined as expected use of one month to two years

o All cancer therapies were classified as intermediate because prognosis is generally poor and the same treatment regimen is rarely used for more than two

years as surviving patients typically rotate between various chemotherapies.

• Chronic treatment was defined as expected use of two years or longer

APPENDIX 3. Additional Information Pertaining to Characterization of Pivotal Trials Used in the

US Food and Drug Administration’s Approvals of Novel Therapeutic Agents Between 2005 and

2012

Information typically found in the “Sources of Clinical Data” (section 5) or “Review of

Efficacy” (section 6) components of FDA Medical Review

Randomization: Trials were classified as “randomized” if the medical review specified that

subjects were randomized between arms. All other trials were classified as “non-randomized”

Blinding: Trials were classified according to the level of blinding used.

• “Double-blinded”: Trials that were described in the medical review as “double-blinded”

or blinded to both investigator and patient

• “Single-blinded”: Trials that were described by the medical review as “single-blinded” or

blinded to the patient only

• “No blinding”: Unblinded or “open-label” trials

• “n/a (single arm trial)”: Single arm trials were not classified at all because blinding is not

possible in such a trial design.

Comparator: Trials were classified according to the type of comparator used to evaluate the

study drug:

• “No comparator”: Single arm trials and multi-arm trials comparing the study drug to itself

only

• “Placebo”: Trials comparing the study drug to placebo

©2013 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 09/25/2021 • “Active”: Trials comparing the study drug to another drug (n.b., trials comparing the study

drug to both an active comparator and placebo were included in this classification, even

if the medical review focused on the comparisons of the investigational drug with

placebo).

Primary endpoint: The primary endpoint used to assess the efficacy of the study drug was

classified as “clinical outcome”, “clinical scale”, “surrogate outcome”. Several examples of

primary endpoints for each category are listed below:

• “Clinical outcome”

o Overall survival

o Incidence of stroke or systemic embolism

o Time from randomization to first cardiovascular event

o Rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation

o Seizure frequency

• “Clinical scale”

o Decrease of greater than 100 in Crohn’s Disease Activity Index

o American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement criteria

o Change from baseline in Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale • “Surrogate outcome”

o Uric acid < 6mg/dl ≥ 80% of the study period

o Sustained virologic response defined as undetectable Hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid 24 weeks after therapy

o Change from baseline in sitting diastolic blood pressure

o Change in mean hemoglobin A1c

o Trough forced expiratory volume in one second 24 hours after dose

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 09/25/2021 Composite endpoints were classified according to the component which generated the most

patient-important information. For example, a composite endpoint of overall survival, a clinical

outcome, and progression-free survival, a surrogate outcome, would be classified as clinical

outcome. A list of all unique primary endpoints and their classifications is provided below.

Intention-to-treat (ITT) population: Number of subjects receiving at least one dose of

treatment (study medication, comparator or placebo). In studies using a cross-over design, the

ITT population of subjects taking the study medication could not be recorded because subjects

often were exposed to both the study medication and comparator in the same trial.

Trial duration: Length of time in weeks between the time when the first dose of the drug was

administered and the time that the primary endpoint was measured. Two examples are used to

illustrate how trial length is calculated:

• Trial lasting one year in which the primary outcome is measured at 24 weeks. Trial

length = 24 weeks

• Trial evaluating an antibiotic in which subjects receive the study drug / placebo for 1

week and are then evaluated 2 weeks after the end of therapy to determine whether

they have been cured. The cure rate at end of therapy is the primary endpoint. Trial

length = 3 weeks

The median duration of treatment was used as a proxy for trial length in event- driven trials,

which measure the time to outcomes such as death (e.g., overall survival) or hospitalization.

When differences in trial length existed between treatment arms, a weighted average calculation

was used to determine a single value for trial length.

©2013 American Medical Association. All rights reserved.

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 09/25/2021 Completion rate: Calculated by dividing the number of subjects completing all treatments in

trial by the ITT population. Generally, the number of subjects completing treatment was shown

in a table of subject disposition. For drugs treating cancer and infectious disease, patients that

discontinued the study drug because they reached an outcome, such as disease progression,

lack of efficacy or death, were considered to have completed the study and the completion rate

calculation was performed accordingly.
