Table 2. Analysis of tumor response and survival according to the continuation or not of trastuzumab from the second-line of chemotherapy.

Overall Population N = 104 Second-line therapy without trastuzumab N = 65 Second-line therapy with trastuzumab N = 39 P-value

Objective response rate * 9.9% 5.4% 16.7% 0.08

Median PFS, mo. (95% CI) 2.7 (2.3-4.0) 2.3 (2.0-3.0) 4.4 (2.4-5.6) 0.002
 6-mo. PFS rate (95% CI) 20.8% (13.5-29.3) 13.5% (6.5-23.1) 30.2% (16.2-45.4)
Median OS, mo. (95% CI) 7.1 (5.5-9.4) 6.1 (4.8-8.3) 12.6 (5.5-18.5) 0.001
 1-yr OS rate (95% CI) 29.1% (19.9-38.9) 17.9% (9.3-28.8) 48.4% (29.8-64.7)

* Objective response rate and disease control rate were evaluated in patients who had measurable disease (n=91).

The P values for comparison of objective response and disease control rates were assessed using the Chi2 test.

The P value for the comparison of time to event endpoints was assessed using the log-rank test.

Abbreviations: mo., months; yr, year
