According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT02481830) enrolled 569 people in total — 284 in Group A and 285 in Group B. The trial was measuring how long participants lived overall, how long it took for their condition to worsen or progress, and what proportion of participants saw their tumours shrink or disappear. Participants went through a pre-treatment period before moving into the treatment period of the trial. The reported data shows the following figures. For overall survival — that is, the time from when someone joined the trial until death — the median (the midpoint value, where half of participants fell above and half below) was 7.46 months for Group A and 8.38 months for Group B. For progression-free survival — the time until the condition was recorded as getting worse or until death — the reported median was 1.45 months for Group A and 3.71 months for Group B. For objective response rate — the percentage of participants whose tumours were recorded as having shrunk by a meaningful amount or disappeared entirely — the reported figures were 13.7% in Group A and 16.8% in Group B. An additional analysis using extended data collection reported the same overall survival figures of 7.46 months and 8.38 months for Group A and Group B respectively.
