CONT

Multiple primary endpoints become "co-primary" if an effect on multiple outcomes is required to demonstrate proof of efficacy. An example of co-primary endpoints includes both cognitive and functional assessments in studies of Alzheimer's disease in which for a treatment to be considered efficacious it must demonstrate a beneficial effect on both cognition and function.

CONT

In contrast to testing multiple endpoints to seek a positive finding from at least one endpoint, testing coprimary endpoints requires that all primary endpoints show positive findings.
