indicates a pivotal trial.

Confidence intervals are 95% confidence intervals. Date field shows year of publication of the reference. In the “Design” field in the table above “H-H” means Head-to-Head trial; “A-O” means Add-on trial; “SA” means Single Arm trial. Panobinostat plus Bortezomib plus Dexamethasone analyses of 2014 and 2015 are both based on the same trial 2308 (as mentioned in the Study column in the table above). However, the 2015 analysis is for a subpopulation.
