A method is outlined which allows to analyse survival and response data from a clinical trial on the treatment of cancer when the question of interest is whether the somehow defined response to the treatment has an influence on patients’ survival times. This can be done by making use of Cox’s proportional hazards model for survival data together with time-dependent covariates. This allows an appropriate classification of non-respondors and responders by considering the time of diagnosis of response during follow-up. The resulting test can be viewed as a time-dependent logrank test. An example from a clinical trial on gastrointestinal cancer is considered.

This paper establishes conditions for the nonparametric identifiability of the mixed proportional hazards model with time-varying coefficients. Unlike the mixed proportional hazards model, a regressor with two distinct values is not sufficient to identify this model. An unbounded regressor, however, is sufficient for identification.
