PCb/P, pemetrexed+carboplatin followed by pemetrexed; PC/P, pemetrexed+cisplatin followed by pemetrexed; P+BSC mnt, pemetrexed+best supportive care maintenance; PFS, progression-free survival; CI, confidence interval; OS, overall survival; NA, not available; NR, not reached; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor.

a)

In PARAMOUNT, 939 patients were enrolled into the induction phase, and 539 patients (57.4%) (pemetrexed [n=359], placebo [n=180]) were randomized,

b)

Efficacy assessment was performed on per-protocol set, which consisted of 106 treated patients without major protocol violations as reported in the JMII manuscript,

c)

In PARAMOUNT, median OS, 1-year and 2-year survival rates are reported for the maintenance period but for the induction+maintenance period for S110 and JMII,

d)

There were insufficient events to calculate median OS in study S110 due to censoring (72.9% cases were censored),

e)

The EGFR mutation analysis was not performed in studies S110 and PARAMOUNT.
