Evaluation of short-term response effects in the active arm and control arm.
| Parameters | Active arm (n = 49) |
Control arm (n = 48) |
P value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of deaths (%) | 30 (61.2) | 46 (95.8) | <0.001 |
| 3-Month Response | |||
| PR (%) | 5 (10.2) | 0 (0) | 0.004 |
| SD (%) | 16 (32.7) | 8 (16.7) | |
| PD (%) | 28 (57.1) | 40 (83.3) | |
| 3-Month DCR (PR + SD) (%) | 21 (42.9) | 8 (16.7) | 0.0073 |
Abbreviations: PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; PD, progressive disease; DCR, disease control rate.
*
Response effects in the the active arm and control arm were examined by χ2 test and T test; P < 0 0.05 indicates statistically significant difference.
