Surrogate endpoint biomarkers and their modulation in cervical chemoprevention trials

Abstract: BACKGROUND. Surrogate endpoint biomarkers (SEBs) are used as intermediate indicators of a reduction in cancer incidence in chemoprevention studies. SEBs should be expressed differentially in normal and high risk tissue; appear at a well defined stage of carcinogenesis; be studied with reasonable sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy; and be modulated in chemoprevention trials. The concept of SEBs may be useful in the trials of many new therapies. METHODS.The current review includes a comprehensive review of t… Show more

“…The prevalence of HPV in this cohort was 100% and 98% for high-risk types (16,18,26,31,33,35,39,45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and W13b). HPV16 was found in 68%.…”

“…lrHPV types tend to be associated with polyclonal lesions whereas hrHPV types are associated with monoclonal lesions (Park et al, 1996). Ploidy appears to be a measurable biomarker and a good predictor of the biological behaviour with a better predictive value than the histopathologic characteristics (Follen and Schottenfeld, 2001). It is considered that in advanced dysplastic lesions, aneuploidy precedes HPV integration, further supporting the notion that integration of viral genomes is the consequence and not the cause of chromosomal instability and transformation (Melsheimer et al 2004).…”

“…The risk of progression toward invasive cancer increases with the lesions' grade (Ostor 1993), thus, biomarkers specifically associated with disease progression, allowing for a correct triage must improve the cervical cancer screening www.intechopen.com programs and the early detection of people at risk. Therefore, in order to be useful, the biomarkers must meet the following criteria: (1) they must be differently expressed in normal and high-risk tissues; (2) they should be synthesised in a well defined stage of carcinogenesis; (3) both the marker and its assay must be acceptable sensitive, specific and accurate; (4) they should be easily measured; (5) they should be correlated with a decrease in the cancer incidence rate (Follen and Schottenfeld, 2001). The inherent variability in interpretation between individuals has led to wide ranges in diagnostic precision between practices, but the advent of immunohistochemistry and the more recent discovery of new genes and their functions have resulted in the identification of cellular proteins that are differently expressed in tumours (Nucci et al, 2003).…”

“…In addition, because the carcinogenic role of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer has been established both in the field of molecular biology and epidemiology, many of these pharmaceuticals have been tested for their ability to suppress the production of viral oncoproteins. 28 A few of these agents have been subjected to rigorous Phase I study design. 3,4 The only agent that has been demonstrated to cause regression of CIN/SILs in a randomized controlled trial in a statistically significant manner in a trial of sufficient sample size is topical all-trans-retinoic acid.…”
