Prevalence assesses the rate of toxicity over time and can tease out some AEs that are resolved by medical intervention or spontaneous improvement with time. Q-TWiST (google search) can help evaluate the tradeoffs between toxicity and survival. This tool looks at toxicity, time without symptom and toxicity, and relapse. The researchers highlighted the strengths of these approaches in a phase 2 trial and a hypothetical simulated clinical trial.
