Results of the GIPF-001 trial when a clinical cutoff date (15 June 2002) was used. Deaths occurred by the cutoff date and corresponded with the prespecified time for primary analysis of death or progression primary end point. The hazard ratio was derived by using a Cox regression analysis of time-to-event data. The mild-to-moderate disease subgroup is defined as FVC of 55% or more at baseline. Twelve deaths from the Actimmune subgroup (10 in patients with advanced disease and 2 occurring from 15 June 2002 to 19 August 2002) and 7 deaths from the placebo group (all in patients with advanced disease) were excluded. Actimmune is manufactured by InterMune (Brisbane, California).
