If an assumption was used to estimate the average treatment length, this assumption was based on the average treatment length of all other drugs for which a treatment length was available in the EPARs or ZINL assessment reports. Mean TL = Mean treatment length. median PFS = Median progression-free survival. TTP = Time to progression
