Because the principal strata defined by the potential outcomes of the post-treatment variable are not observable, we generally cannot identify the causal effects within principal strata. Motivated by a real data set of phase III adjuvant colon cancer clinical trials, we propose approaches to identifying and estimating the principal causal effects via multiple trials. For the identifiability, we remove the commonly used exclusion restriction assumption by stipulating that the principal causal effects are homogeneous across these trials. To remove another commonly used monotonicity assumption, we give a necessary condition for the local identifiability, which requires at least three trials. Applying our approaches to the data from adjuvant colon cancer clinical trials, we find that the commonly used monotonicity assumption is untenable, and disease-free survival with 3-year follow-up is a valid surrogate end point for overall survival with 5-year follow-up, which satisfies both causal necessity and causal sufficiency. We also propose a sensitivity analysis approach based on Bayesian hierarchical models to investigate the effect of the deviation from the homogeneity assumption.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rssb.12135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,19]],"date-time":"2015-11-19T05:40:43Z","timestamp":1447911643000},"page":"829-848","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Principal Causal Effect Identification and Surrogate end point Evaluation by Multiple Trials"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Zhichao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Peking University , Beijing , People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California at Berkeley \u00a0 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi","family":"Geng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peking University , Beijing , People's Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023021709305790100_rssb12135-cit-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"444","DOI":"10.1080\/01621459.1996.10476902","article-title":"Identification of causal effects using instrumental variables (with discussion)","volume":"91","author":"Angrist","year":"1996","journal-title":"J.
