Multiple sclerosis is a highly heterogeneous disease; the quantitative assessment of disease progression is problematic for many reasons, including the lack of objective methods to measure disability and the long follow-up times needed to detect relevant and stable changes. For these reasons, the importance of prognostic markers, markers of response to treatments and of surrogate endpoints, is crucial in multiple sclerosis research. Aim of this report is to clarify some basic definitions and methodological issues about baseline factors to be considered prognostic markers or markers of response to treatment; to define the dynamic role that variables must have to be considered surrogate markers in relation to specific treatments.

Recent studies have provided evidence for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) active lesions as surrogate for relapses and disability progression in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the validity of MRI metrics as surrogate endpoints in MS is controversial. Furthermore, the extrapolation of previous results to novel therapies is not warranted. We tested here the validity of MRI surrogacy in MS studies on recently published trials of oral drugs. The 92% of observed effects of oral drugs on clinical outcomes resulted close to those predicted by MRI active lesions. This further validates MRI surrogacy in MS, with important implications for future trials planning.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease that manifests as acute relapses and progressive disability. As a primary endpoint for clinical trials in MS, disability is difficult to both characterize and measure. Furthermore, the recovery from relapses and the rate of disability vary considerably among patients. Given these challenges, investigators have developed and studied the performance of various outcome measures and surrogate endpoints in MS clinical trials. This review defines the outcome measures and surrogate endpoints used to date in MS clinical trials and presents challenges in the design of both adult and pediatric trials.
