  • Humane: the point at which pain and/or distress is terminated, minimized, or
reduced 
  • reduced.
  • Surrogate: a measure of effect of a specific treatment that may correlate with a real clinical endpoint but does not necessarily have a guaranteed relationship (e.g., a biomarker).
  • Combined: end point that is a combination of several measures. Example: A heart attack study may report the incidence of the combined endpoint of chest pain, myocardial infarction, or death.

Level for the Study Endpoint

These are defined in concordance with the ICH M11 Clinical electronic Structured Harmonised Protocol Specification

.

  • Primary endpoint(s) are typically efficacy measures that address the main research question [1]
  • Secondary endpoints are generally not sufficient to influence decision-making alone, but may support the claim of efficacy by demonstrating additional effects or by supporting a causal mechanism. [2] 
  • Exploratory endpoints (where nominated)
, they
  • typically capture outcomes that occur less frequently or which may be useful for exploring novel hypotheses. [1]
